This plugin relies on Unreal Engine 5.5. If you don’t have the engine installed, you can download it using the Epic Games Launcher which is available here.

You can grab the Looking Glass Unreal Plugin from our website or from GitHub.

Importing the Looking Glass Unreal Plugin

Installing to the Engine

Navigate to where your Unreal Engine instance is installed. Then navigate to Engine/Plugins/ThirdParty. If the ThirdParty folder does not exist, make one.

If you have a project open already, you'll need to restart Unreal Engine to enable the plugin.
