Folder Color Structure UE4 WIP3

Since the last update I have added in new functions that walk through the folder structures recursively. If a new folder has been added to the project this new function will update the folder to have the correct color. All you need to do is run the function, save and restart the project and the folders will have been updated. For future updates I want to make this a startup script that is added into ue4 project so that all this will work automatically in the background.

Folder Color Structure UE4 WIP 2

Since the last update I have restructured the Json file so that it is easier to read and adjust if needed. Each of the folder sections created now have their own color associated with it. I am using HSV colors instead of RGB colors in the code so I have more control of how the colors look in engine.

Folder Color Structure UE4 WIP

For my final tech art assignment I am creating a folder structure in UE4 with folder that are color coded. I am using C++ and Python to do this. For this work in progress I have so far created the folder structure in the UE4 project and have given the newly created folders a blue color. 

The reason for this project is so that projects in unreal can have a universal folder structure and can be color coded. I have found that color coding folders has made finding and placing files in the correct location easier.
