KITCHEN CONFIGURATOR & COLOR SCANNING APP

For this project i wanted to explore Functions/Functionality that isnt possible to implement in unreal engine 5 with out c++ or extern plugins.

This app was developed using Flutter and compiled via the Codemagic cloud service. Building an iOS app on Windows introduced several challenges, especially as I was still gaining experience, but it was a valuable learning process.

I also integrated Firebase Firestore to implement an account-based system, avoiding hardcoded APIs or static account solutions. Color data is sent and stored per user account, allowing Unreal Engine to securely retrieve and apply the data within the configurator when logged in with the same account.

To handle communication between the color scanning app and the configurator, I built a Python server that starts alongside the configurator. In the image, you can see both the development version with a visible console window and the final build, where the server runs silently in the background without displaying a console.

In the top, you can see custom C++ nodes used to start and stop the Python server.

In the middle section, the login logic is implemented, where a Firebase authentication request is sent using a custom C++ node called Send Login Request.

The bottom section shows how color data is requested and retrieved using another custom node, Request Python Sync. Once the user is logged in, the system requests account-specific data, which is then downloaded and returned as an array of color entries. These entries are later broken down and assigned to individual UI buttons for display.

The data retrieval is currently handled synchronously (blocking), rather than asynchronously.
