Data Assets Thumbnails plugin for Unreal

I wrote a plugin for Unreal Engine with which you can easily replace a standard Data Asset icon with a custom icon. I think it's quite useful for a game where you have a lot of Data Assets for things like weapons, shields, armors etc. and you want to quickly recognize what they are. 

You can purchase it from Fab: https://www.fab.com/listings/239dd3f5-602e-4453-b161-c06191659335 

What you can do with it is:

  • Set a UPROPERTY to be a Data Asset icon simply by adding "Thumbnail" meta data to it.
  • Set a default color and icon of a Data Asset of a specific type.
  • Display a mini icon in the edge of the asset icon to visualize what type of Data Asset it is.
  • Replace the default checkerboard background into the solid color background for icons with transparency.

Hope someone will find it useful. Cheers! <3
