C++ Intermediate Tutorials

Development Programming & Scripting C++

I’m a long-term 3D artist who’s been trying to get more into programming and the technical side of Unreal. I’ve completed a couple of “beginner Unreal/C++” tutorial series’ from Udemy, including this (https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/) but although this really helped, I still feel like there’s too much of a gap between what I know now and the range of things I need to know to build the kind of procedural tools I want to make.

Can anyone suggest tutorials and resources that will walk me through some procedural content examples in Unreal? I’m particularly interested in things like procedural modelling, voronoi tessellation, marching cubes, WFC, that kind of thing, and I can sort of just hack away with what I know, but I feel like it’d really help to get a bit more of a push from some tutorials.

I’d also be interested in tutorials that look at things like streaming data into unreal, saving and loading, other things that might be non-obvious to someone used to working at the art-end of realtime development. Basically, good, consistent, intermediate tutorials are quite hard to find!

Finally, a lot of the resources I do find are made with UE4 in mind. I read something about pointers changing in UE5, and I feel like it might be worth me doing some UE5-specific, basic/intermediate C++ tutorials if there are any that are recommended. I’d be interested in suggestions for that, or alternative opinions if the differences really aren’t that complicated.

Hi samuelthomson,

I am learning a lot of this as well and I happen to have that course as well. This same udemy group got reviews that they wanted to make games completely from scratch in C++ and they made it for beginners. Their subpage is https://www.gamedev.tv/. On there they have C# for Unity and C++ for Unreal. I thought I saw rumor of them making a unreal 5 tutorial but have not seen anything else yet. Hopefully this helps a little.

I’d recommend checking out the Stephen Ulibarri courses if you haven’t yet. He makes some really great stuff!

Currently I’m trying to work my way out of courses and start looking up tutorials when I run into a road block. I’ve been doing courses on Unreal for 6 months (or about 4-5 months too long). Time to jump out of the nest and hope I can fly.

I’m probably going to go through the Ulibarri multiplayer course, because it’s made for UE5, and seems like a natural extension of the gamedev.tv course, which ended with an fps game.

Here are some other resources that I’ve found that deal with other aspects of Unreal. I haven’t worked through any of these tutorials yet, but they look like the kind of thing I’m after. I’d be very keen to know if there are other recommended courses and tutors out there:
