Unreal Engine Application

There are two ways to open the unreal application, editor mode and executable mode, editor mode allows real time adjustment to the environment but requires unreal engine. The executable mode does not require unreal engine.

Editor mode

Executable mode

  1. Download the latest “DRV_{version}.zip” from https://sluedu-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/ankit_agrawal_1_slu_edu/ElbD1q-O8fBFgGDqov6Mh5EBsJ90YyPj2fzsIznTP6AX-w?e=XZaPiX
