Runtime Image Loader
Load images into Unreal at runtime without hitches!
Grab it from Unreal Marketplace: https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/runtime-image-loader
Developer's UPDATE: The active development of this free plugin is completed! It provides an intuitive Blueprint interface that allows to load images without facing issues that exist in vanilla Unreal Engine. That was my main intention and I'm not planning to support more advanced workflows, for example, cache layers, mip generation, rare image formats and OS besides Windows and Android (experimental). However, I always welcome pull requests targeting new features.
