Tech

The Tech module is the largest in EQLabs — 40 tools covering texture generation, material/asset workflow, debugging, QA, project audit, and runtime performance suites.

40 registered tools.

  TextureGenerators

Workflow

• Material & Asset Browser

  Browse materials/textures with statistics and filtered views.

  Workflow
• Dependency Explorer

  Map asset dependencies with blast radius analysis.

  Workflow
• Batch Material Creator

  Auto-create MIs from texture folders by naming convention.

  Workflow
• Material Replacer

  Batch find/replace materials across actors.

  Workflow
• Material Preset Manager

  Save/load material parameter presets as JSON.

  Workflow
• Material Instance Manager

  MI hierarchy + override tracking.

  Workflow
• Subsystem Viewer

  List Engine / Editor / GameInstance / World / LocalPlayer subsystems.

  Workflow
• Config/INI Diff Tool

  Compare project config to engine defaults with templates.

  Workflow
• USD Interchange Repair Kit

  Audit USD/Interchange import results.

  Workflow
• Texture Validation & Color Management

  Scan/validate/fix texture settings.

  Workflow

Debugging

• Shader Diagnostics Suite

  Keywords + compilation + permutations.

  Debugging
• Material Property Diff

  Side-by-side parameter diff for two MIs.

  Debugging
• Replication Debugger

  Replication audit with bandwidth estimation.

  Debugging
• Lumen Scene Debugger

  Lumen GI / reflection scene analyzer.

  Debugging
• Virtual Texture Diagnostic

  VT setup audit.

  Debugging
• Crash Triage Center

  In-editor crash inbox: ingests Saved/Crashes, groups by signature, flags GPU crashes, and tracks per-signature triage status.

  Debugging
• LogLens

  Parses a Saved/Logs file, clusters repeated warnings, errors and ensures by an address-insensitive signature, and ranks them by severity then frequency.

  Debugging

QA

• Material Profiler

  Heatmap + QA linter + Substrate analyzer.

  QA
• Blueprint Inspector

  Complexity + interfaces + event timeline.

  QA
• Project Doctor

  Flagship 5-tab audit: Health / Build / Budget / Android / Scene Audit.

  QA
• Asset Naming Convention Checker

  Validate asset names with batch rename.

  QA
• Quest Readiness Scanner

  Per-device XR readiness for Quest / Vision Pro.

  QA
• Blueprint Graph Exporter

  Export Blueprint graphs to JSON / Markdown.

  QA
• Validation Gate Hub

  Aggregates the reports EQLabs auditors already wrote into one pass/fail gate for save, pre-commit or CI.

  QA

Performance

• Widget Blueprint Auditor

  UMG perf audit.

  Performance
• Rendering Systems Auditor

  Nanite / Lumen / VSM / VT runtime tuning.

  Performance
• Scene Optimization Advisor

  Significance LOD + hierarchy flattening.

  Performance
• Runtime Insights

  Profiler + trace analyzer + benchmarks + AI.

  Performance
• Blueprint Tick Auditor

  Scans Blueprint actor classes for the real precondition of per-frame VM cost — an implemented Event Tick with ticking enabled — and ranks the every-frame tickers.

  Performance
• GC Pulse

  Records every garbage collection: real pause duration, objects destroyed, and a live UObject-count-vs-capacity early warning.

  Performance
• HitchScope

  Always-on hitch sentinel: samples real per-frame time in PIE and classifies the likely cause of each spike from real engine signals.

  Performance
• MemSnap

  One-click memory snapshots and diffs: per-class UObject growth, process memory and GPU texture memory, plus reference-chain tracing.

  Performance
• PSO Precache Auditor

  Read-only audit of PSO precaching and bundled shader-pipeline-cache configuration, engine-version caveats, and the PSO cache file inventory.

  Performance
• StreamDoctor

  World Partition and streaming health monitor: records real streaming events during PIE and classifies them into a live health verdict.
