Horizontal version of the glowing bar

Some of the features and techniques discussed:

• No UMG used
• Progress bar material is in high dynamic range (HDR), so it can glow
• The tutorial covers both horizontal and vertical progress bar versions
• Progress bar changes color with its value, which is updated via Blueprints
• Progress bar exists in the world space, so it can be used very well for various holographic UIs
• Using custom material depth, we make sure that the bar does not get occluded by other surfaces
