Geodav's UE4 tutorials and support thread

[KingBadger3D]

@Jamesfsky, go into blender user settings and activate the udk tools i think that are in the import/export section. You should now be able to import.

Geodav, is there any way to get upk files into Blender? I've really been wanting to go through Dishonored's static meshes for inspiration, and it'd be really nice to search for what I want instead of having to walk through the game :P

Any updates on adding captioning to tutorial videos?

[KITATUS]

to be honest i haven't even thought about written tutorials in a long time, mainly because doing a video is a lot quicker/easier

I can transcribe your videos (With Screenies) for you and send them to you to put on your site / the Wiki if you'd like?

Geodav, Please add captioning to your video tutorials. I am hearing-impaired. I'm interested in your basic vehicle tutorial.

GeoDav, do you any plans to create written versions of your tutorials? If not, I don't mind doing it for your website or whatever if it helps people who can't hear / understand / follow a video / whatever reason.

just added a small series (3 videos) on starting and packaging a basic project

Thank you for your contributions. I am planning to convert from Unity to UE4 and my last remaining hesitancy is tutorials, documentation, and marketplace. Unity exploded because of its community made tutorials and asset store. If UE4 can get the same level of community and marketplace assets, that will take it over the top. These are the things that make small time amateurs like me make a dream possible, even if it is one tiny step at a time. Community and thriving marketplace for small dreamers like me. Those are the king makers for any game engine.

Hi Geodav,

is the vehicles tutorials you made for UE3 still valid for UE4 ?

and if i can wish:
can you make tutorial on vehicle weapons, like launching projectiles, shooting vehicles ennemies ... etc ?

atm the moment a vehicle tutorial is out of the question.

the basic reason for this is the simple fact that looking at what examples i have access to i expect the whole vehicle system will be changing so even if i did record something it would be all wrong with a month

so far it takes me about 2 hours to set up a basic wheeled vehicle, with no code for weapons/entry/exit so not really worth my time atm

on a side note the content creation side is the same afaik but remember you need to scale it up to the new UE4 scale

Thanks Geodav! This is really useful Geodav!
