Dash Image Board

As an artist, having a quick and easy way of sorting out all your ideas in one image board is a fairly common practice, with tools like Pureref, Miro ando thers being the best at this. Dash features a similar tool, but with a few key differences: It's fully integrated into Unreal Engine, has all the usual features you'd expect from a reference tool, allows you to take a snapshot of your UE viewport and put it in the Dashboard, lets you extract color grading from any image to apply it on your Dash camera, and much more!

In short, the Dashboard is a convenient ideation space where all your ideas, be it visual or textual, can be grouped. You can drag & drop images or even image URLs onto the panel to import them, you can group them, label them, etc...

When you open it for the first time, you'll be greeted with an empty view. From there, just drag & drop images onto the board, and start adjusting them as you see fit.

Besides that, all the regular features like making the window frameless, focusing on the selection, lowering the opacity, etc... are also available.

We'll be making a dedicated page to this tool soon, and it's still in its early development phase, but the idea is to give you a space where most of you can organize images, content tools, ideas, etc... Picture putting an image, then asking the tool "how do I make this", and getting recommendations for the best tools in Dash that can help you get the job done. Not only tools extraction, but also content, and atmospherics, etc.. All the way to grading extraction and even feedback suggestion. These upcoming AI features of the Dashboard won't be using your data for any training purpose, ever.
