2D text: Place Actor → Text Render

3D Text: Plugin → 3D Text → Adjust Extrude, Bevel

Simulate Physics:

e.g. Create a sphere → Details → Physics Tick Simulate Physics → Tick MassinKg (adjust its value change its heaviness)

Create Realistic Landscape:

File → New Level → Default → Mode: Tick Landscape (new grid floor created) → Create New (on L menu);

Material: M_Grond_Grass; Click Fill World button (set the whole floor resolution, area to max) → Create

→ Will jump into Sculpt mode with a brush to create hills

Create a folder called CCTV in Content Browser

Create/choose a Plane/any static mesh as a screen

Place Actor → Scene Capture 2D (a camera is created in screen)

in CCTV folder, R click → Material & Textures → Render Target, name as CCTV → Drag it in Texture Target in Scene Capture Detail

R Click CCTV (Render Target) file → Create Material (CCTV_Mat file created) → Drag the Mat file to any surface of mesh in the screen, that mesh will project the CCTV camera view

In Scene Capture 2D camera Detail: Capture Source (can choose different RGB view, which can be further controlled by Post Process Volume parameters, i.e. Lens, Color Grading, Film, Rendering Feature)
