Resources for getting started with Unreal5

Recommended Posts

As I have begun to dive in to Unreal 5 with zero previous experience with Unreal (or anything like Unreal), I am finding ALOT of tutorials. But a vast majority of them are very game-dev centric, or assume an existing knowledge of Unreal, are for older versions, etc.

 

If people find something that was helpful for beginners that aren't necessarily looking to develop games but rather bring Unity in to their 3D tool set post them here.

 

For starters there is the prolific Winbush. Alot of solid beginner stuff, as well as working with C4D:

I watched a bunch of these:

I'll say upfront - they aren't great tutorials: but it did get me acquainted with the idea of Megascans and setting up a sky/sun system very quickly.  After watching a lot of game centric tutorials and not feeling it with Unreal, this opened my eyes to the fact that with UE5 you can just dump stuff in and get it going quickly.  I found it liberating.

 

 

Also - this guys stuff seems pretty good in diving deeper into understanding Lumen

There are bunch of good tutorials on Udemy and I assume the week be big sale due to easter. 

 

For now on my channel you can only find Houdini modelling stuff but soon that will change too.

Make sure to check out the free tutorials available through Epic's website: https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/learn

Sign in with your Epic account and click on the Learn tab. They have full courses for beginners that go over the UI, project file structure, how to import assets, how materials work, etc... I'm not interested in designing games, only in the real time cinematic capabilities of the engine, and it has blown my mind so far. Once you understand the basics, make sure to check out this tutorial by Pwnisher to get even more cinematic results at render time.

Epic is currently running a series of Webinars that take you from zero knowledge to having the required skills to create a film, using UE5. 

 

https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/events/unreal-engine-anz-short-film-challenge-2022?sessionInvalidated=true

 

These are part of a short film competition they are running, but you don't have to actually be part of the competition to join the webinars.

 

They also provide the videos to watch for the duration of the competition as well.

 

You can watch them live or later on since they are recording them. But if you watch Live you can ask questions which is great. 

 

I am slowly going through these myself, watching them live when I can and catching up in the weekends on ones I have missed.

 

If you are in NZ or Australia and actually want to enter, get funding and compete in this competition then feel free to do so.
