## Overview

Ludus AI is an AI toolkit that runs inside the Unreal Editor as a plugin for Unreal Engine 5.4 to 5.8. It reads your Blueprints, C++ classes, assets and levels, and how they reference each other, and keeps that picture in sync as you work, so answers and changes start from your own project instead of a generic tutorial.

You describe what you want in plain language and Ludus builds or edits Blueprint graphs, writes and refactors C++, traces errors across both, and generates Niagara effects, materials, MetaSounds, animations, UMG widgets, Behavior Trees, PCG graphs and 3D models that land set up in your Content Browser. It proposes each change and you approve what goes in. Ludus AI 1.0 shipped in 2026, and the company says it is certified to ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2.

## Key features

- Project-aware chat that knows your open level, selection and Content Browser
- Blueprint generation, analysis, refactoring and Blueprint-to-C++ conversion
- Niagara VFX, materials (including Substrate) and MetaSound/SoundCue setup
- Text-to-3D and image-to-3D with retopology and LOD generation
- Auto-rigging, text-to-animation and retargeting
- Behavior Trees, EQS, PCG graphs and UMG widgets from prompts

## Use it for
