VGM Con 2023 Presentation
This past weekend I returned once again to VGM Con in Minneapolis, MN and held a technical talk about Interactive Music in Unreal Engine.
I wanted to give attendees an entry-level look at what interactive music is, and how to get started with building custom music systems in Unreal Engine using MetaSounds and Quartz. Here are the slides from the presentation for anyone who would like to review them, along with my example UE5 project.
I plan to put out more example projects soon.
UE5 Project — created with Unreal Engine 5.2 Preview 2
