### Overview

MetaForge is a versatile library for creating custom editor windows from model objects using metadata in Unreal Engine 5. It provides a reusable system that allows developers to define editor interfaces based on model metadata, streamlining the process of creating complex tools within the Unreal editor.

The library is designed for programmers and requires C++ knowledge to use effectively. MetaForge is modular, making it possible to use each component independently or as a part of a larger system. MetaForge is packaged as an Unreal plugin and is available for sale on the Fab marketplace.
