Skill level:Beginner

Language:English

Exercise files:Yes

We start with the basics, covering:

Downloading and installing Unreal Engine 5.
Creating different types of projects.
Navigating the scene.
Manipulating object positions, scale, and rotation.
Understanding world space and local spaces.
Using snapping for precision.
Adjusting camera speed and views.
Exploring the Outliner, Detail Panel, and Content Drawer.

Next, we delve into static meshes and their importation into Unreal Engine from various sources. We address common issues encountered during importation, including:

Importing 3D models with materials but no attached textures.
Importing 3D models without textures.
Handling 3D models with multiple parts and materials.
Working with Quixel 3D models and materials.

Then, we proceed to the material section of the course, focusing on fundamental material concepts in Unreal Engine to prepare for importing various 3D models. This basic material section covers:

Creating our first material.
Understanding base color, metallic roughness, and specular properties.
Utilizing emissive color effectively.
Incorporating textures into materials.
Concluding with exercises to reinforce learning.

Following that, we explore Game Mode, understanding its significance and exploring various game modes available in Unreal Engine 5. We also create our own game mode, specifically a third-person game mode.
In the subsequent section, we discuss creating a playable character, covering:

Understanding the character class.
Implementing character movement, jumping, and camera control.
Configuring the Spring Arm for optimal usage.

We then delve into animations, starting from basic to advanced concepts:

Introduction to animation sequences.
Playing animations in desired locations.
Understanding Animation Blueprints and state machines.
Implementing basic character movements like walking, jumping, and running.
Exploring blend spaces and exercises for practice.

In the following section, we provide an overview of Blueprints, covering:

Blueprint functionality and structure.
Navigating Blueprints to achieve desired functionalities.
Understanding common Blueprint nodes and features.

Building upon Blueprint knowledge, we return to animation topics to cover:

Implementing turn animations and aim offsets.
Utilizing animation montages and layered blend per bone.
Animating the Spring Arm and exploring animation Blueprint advancements.

We then introduce a challenge to create a laser beam effect, leveraging knowledge gained thus far.
The subsequent section focuses on user interface development, starting with Widget Blueprint essentials and progressing to creating a crosshair with additional functionality.
We continue to refine the crosshair and UI, incorporating features like spread dynamics and interactivity.
Upon the release of Unreal Engine 5.1, we discuss updating the game and engine versions accordingly.
Following the update, we enhance the crosshair and UI functionalities, incorporating new nodes like Interp To and line trace.
Subsequently, we delve into audio features in Unreal Engine 5, covering both Sound Cue and Meta Sound functionalities.
In the Meta Sound section, we explore advanced sound design techniques, creating music and ambient sound effects.
Applying the knowledge gained, we integrate sound effects into our game, including footstep audio and weapon fire sounds.
We then shift focus to materials, covering advanced topics and practical examples.
Continuing with materials, we explore more advanced concepts, including texture manipulation and animation.
Next, we introduce Niagara Particle System, starting with basic concepts and gradually implementing various effects like fire, smoke, and bullet shell ejection.
Leveraging Niagara Particle System knowledge, we create custom effects for our game, including muzzle flashes and bullet impact effects.
To optimize performance, we delve into collision and physics in Unreal Engine, covering different collision types and object interactions.
With collision knowledge, we create three types of bullets for our game, each utilizing different collision methods.
We then shift focus to lighting and fog effects, covering various types of lights and their functionalities.
Moving on, we embark on level design, creating two distinct levels—a small town and a large landscape.
Leveraging Unreal Engine and Gaea, we learn to create diverse landscapes with detailed features like mountains, rivers, and oceans.
With landscapes in place, we explore material creation techniques tailored for landscape design.
Building upon material knowledge, we create a modular auto landscape material for versatile terrain design.
Next, we delve into foliage systems, covering manual foliage placement and advanced procedural techniques.
Continuing with AI development, we introduce AI concepts and functionalities, focusing on behavior trees and blackboards.
We then implement zombie enemies into our game, incorporating animations, physics materials, and health bars.
With enemy AI established, we fine-tune their behaviors and interactions with the player character.
We enhance the player character with health bars, item pickups, and dynamic UI elements.
Exploring the new Control Rig feature, we create animations for our characters, including full-body IK for realistic movement.
Finally, we utilize our knowledge to create a visually stunning main menu with animated cameras and level integration.
