General Tutorial & Course Discussions

As an Unreal Engine Authorized Instructor, I designed this video to help Unity users quickly adapt to Unreal Engine by comparing familiar Unity tools and workflows with Unreal Engine’s powerful features.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  1. The Epic Games ecosystem and how it compares to Unity Hub and Asset Store.
  2. Creating your first project in Unreal Engine 5.
  3. Navigating the user interface: Viewport, Outliner, Content Browser, and more.
  4. Populating a scene with assets.
  5. Adding lights to your scenes.
  6. Creating materials in Unreal Engine’s Material Editor.
  7. Introducing Blueprints: Unreal Engine’s visual scripting tool, perfect for logic without code.
  8. Exploring Fab, Epic Games’ marketplace for free and premium assets.

By the end of this lesson, you’ll have a solid understanding of Unreal Engine’s core features and how they align with Unity, empowering you to dive right into your projects with confidence.

This was useful. As someone who understands Unity well, it was nice to watch this where the tutor specifically compared things with how they are in Unity, rather than introducing me to the concepts as one would introduce them to an absolute game dev beginner. This is the very first unreal tutorial I’ve ever watched.
