Unreal Engine 5 - Beginner Course

You will install UE5 via the Epic Games Launcher.

Learn how to create UE5 Project using available templates.

You will learn the basic functions of UE5. I will show you how to control the view, important hotkeys, features of various windows, and what you should pay special attention to.

*I prepared list of most important Hotkeys & Commands in UE5. PDF file below:

Actors are the building blocks of any UE5 project. In this Lecture, you'll dive into the concept of actors, meshes, and objects.

You’ll understand how Actors & Objects interact and how to manage their dependencies, setting the foundation for creating complex environments and gameplay mechanics.

Unreal Engine offers powerful modeling tools, and this section will introduce you to them. You’ll learn how to model directly within the engine, create assets, and manipulate them to fit your project’s needs.

Learn how to utilize the capabilities of the Material system in UE5 and understand the principles that govern it.

You’ll gain a deep understanding of Material creation, Parent Materials and Material Instances.

You’ll learn how to create realistic lighting setups, using Directional, Point, Rectangular and Spot lights. We’ll also explore dynamic and static lighting and how to optimize your lighting.

Learn basics of BP system.

The BP Event Graph in UE5 is a visual scripting interface where you can create and manage gameplay logic, events, and interactions without writing code.

BP Variables in UE5 are used to store and manage data that can be accessed and modified within Blueprints to control gameplay logic and behavior.

BP Functions in UE5 are reusable blocks of visual script that perform specific tasks or calculations, helping to organize and optimize gameplay logic within Blueprints.

We will create a Landscape for our game and add the necessary elements for dynamic Lighting.

We will create Master Material for our new Landscape from Scratch.

We will use the Foliage system in UE5 to populate our Level with meshes like grass and rocks. Additionally, we will program the Foliage to automatically appear along with our Material Layers.

Using the Modeling Tools, we will build the foundation for our mini game.

You will learn how to use the Blueprint system to quickly and effectively create environment elements in your game.

We will continue our process.

We will use the created system and build interactions between it and our actors using the Blueprint system.

The UE5 Blueprint game interface is a visual scripting environment that allows developers to create and control gameplay logic, events, and interactions without writing code.

We will create Gameplay based on our Blueprints, adding interactions between the environment and our Actor.

In the final Lecture of our course, we will add interactions with our Third Person Character and test our mini game. By the end of this Lecture, you should have a fully functional Level with programmed logic and a playable character.

We will start from basics and create new Widget system.

We will continue creating process, adding more functionality.

We will create a Score System in our Widget.

Next we are going to add Time System to our game.

I will show you additional functions that we can add to our widget and our game.
