Hello,
i really like playing with Unreal Engine 4, creating something that works, it’s more fun than actually playing games.
My Problem is that there are ALOT of tutorials on youtube, problem is the most are bad explained where they only say what they do like i would be blind instead of saying what’s the use of all these nodes and so on.
I wanted to make some “movement” animations, problem is that there is a tutorial and all i see is a dude playing with some sliders “you can do this and this and this” clicking some stuff bla bla… and yeah… unreal docs are a “general info” nothing like step by step to really understand this.
Unreal Channel has some good stuff on blueprints and such. basics yea but OK to start.
But all in all expect this stuff to take A LOT of time to learn, slow and baby steps. And Do not expect to find complete tutorials anywhere, and even if you did, it will most likely work for a small part of a certain type of game vs some other.
So yea welcome to the world of game development. looong road ahead but best not to be discouraged just keep at it. And start from the basics.
Finally depends what you want to focus on, art or programming, if you choose to do both… they can be done at the same time, but chances are you wont be good enough at any because life is too short to master two enormous subjects. If you don’t know yet just experiment and find your way slowly.
Damian. It would help if you could be specific with exactly what your trying to do.
I can direct you towards the tutorial people whom haven’t wasted too much of my time, and are educational. In english. For animations thesargekyle does alot.
