General Tutorial & Course Discussions

Hello, just quick question, is there a plan or is there already book about UE5, with pictures of course(similar to online docs). I am especially interest visual type of things like lighting, world creation, optimal asset building, managing UE5 UI functions and so on. I personally not interested about programming as it is not my thing.

Just interested, nothing is not lost if there are not.

If there are some quick cheat sheets then i would be grateful if you point out where. Thanks. Cheat sheets would be very good reminders about functions.

There is no such thing.

You can find books about UE, but they’re always hopelessly out of date, because the iteration time of the engine is so fast.

Cheat sheets do exist, but for what? Can you be a bit more specific?

Thanks, i thinked myself too that they are out of date fast, just in case asked. I mess with practicing efficient world building with optimal texturing and other things that are on visual side, using different UE tools to analyze world and right mesh management and so on. For example i just now found one perfect example what i looking, Lighting in Unreal Engine 5 for Educators and Students.pdf that was posted by EPIC. I look similar pdf-s more if there is as this very good example.

Cheat sheets i mean something to remind things quickly or something.

I prefer written word for learning, in fact. But I have found, it’s not a good way of learning the engine. I’d say the two strongest methods are:

  1. Skipping through tutorial vids

  2. Reading forums, having searched on google.

and less frequently

  1. Very occasionally, watching whole vids, when you know the quality will be high.

Yep i have seen those cheat sheets from Google too. Anyway thanks for clarifying or confirming info that i just suspected.

I hope more like these .pdf will come about UI, Tools. This is most amazing example to me, easy to absorb and remind things, it is somehow like cheat sheet and info book AIO to me. Not too long and is with guiding images, more please :pray:
