Editor Utility Widgets for HDAs
I made this project as a direct result of my primary research findings in response to the scripting assignment during Year 3, Block A at BUas.
Furthermore, it serves as an enhancement to my wall generator from the previous year.
The creative process involved the utilization of Editor Utility Widgets, and it struck me with a profound realization about its significance to Technical Artists. It has truly revolutionized the accessibility and user-friendliness of their tools, putting an end to any complaints from designers! :D
