New type supported: Metasound

Unreal Engine 5 has an experimental plugin called Metasound.
It is intended for procedural music generation and was featured in the Ancient Valley demo.

For blueprintUE render, it introduced:

• 3 new pin types: trigger, audio, time
• list the possible labels and values of each enum
• a select field for each enum (for all values), instead of having a simple "integer" entry.
• new node design for this specific type of blueprint

For blueprintUE website, it introduced:

• new entry metasound in search blueprint's type
• new entry metasound in list blueprints

You can check out these 2 blueprints to see how it renders:

• Metasound - all nodes
• Metasound - all options and variables

However I found some problems that can't be solved at the moment:

• variable name and external meta sound graph name are not exported
• knob and slider widgets are not exported

Unreal Engine 5 is out!

As you may have seen during Epic Games' keynote, Unreal Engine 5 is now officially released.
This comes with a new community site called Dev Community: https://dev.epicgames.com/community/

This site allows you to create and share tutorials and snippets.
The snippets part is called the Snippets Repository: https://dev.epicgames.com/community/snippets.
You can share several types of content on the same post and especially blueprints.
By the way, you may have noticed that some blueprints have a renderer.

Now I can tell you, this renderer is indeed from blueprintUE.

State of blueprintUE?

When you see that news you may wonder if blueprintUE still has a point to exist.
Yes, the service continues to exist, the renderer will receive evolutions that will be proposed for the Snippets Repository.

Also all the actuals features of the site will always remain present and free as well as the anonymous part for blueprintUE.

On the personal side, I am extremely happy to have participated in the provision of the renderer for the Dev Community.
