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.

The download for the plugin includes multiple versions that are dependent on the version of Unreal Engine you're using. You'll want to select the folder that matches the version of the engine you intend to use, and then paste it into the ThirdParty folder as shown below.

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