Community Tutorials for UE4

tippy1000 · May 24, 2014, 11:02pm

Can we get a tutorial for a 3d model creation in - including UV mapping / texturing that asset/ how to texture light maps for hard and organic models / LOD / collision? All of these items must be taken into consideration when creating an asset. Also, polygon restrictions on models. I am a noob, but have been so concerned about poly count when creating a single object, that I think 200 polygons is too much for a single asset, like a car. Low poly modeling a building to look hi poly, etc., Thanks

there are actually quite some tutorials for that Tippy1000.
also polycount is not something you should worry about nowadays. its the shaders that are more than often the bottlenecks.
Even a decent smartphone/tablet/handheld can run 100’s of thousands of polygons and not flinch.

The small fern in the hallway example for instance already has over 3000 polygons.

Does anybody know where I can download the assets used in the 101 official tutorials? The “Demostration” Collection? I can’t find it.

anonymous_user_923c79df · May 27, 2014, 9:40pm

As far as I know there is no demonstration collection available (probably the content example demo), but could you probably post the link to the video so that we can see which assets you mean?

anonymous_user_5be1f5981 · May 28, 2014, 12:35am

The assets from the official videos, for example the two textures on the left (T_FireRipplesG + T_FireRipplesM) from the “Fire Material in Unreal Engine 4” tutorial; I know I can make them with photoshop but I want to know if those are available somewhere.

There’s so much great stuff out there but I worry that it’s too easy to lose good tutorials as more and more are added to the forum and the rest of the web.

What would be great is if Epic created an online database that allows uses to submit, catagorise, view, browse and rate links to online tutorials and also allow users to request tutorial topics or ask for help on specific tutorials.

You mean like this?

anonymous_user_f2dd594d · June 26, 2014, 9:37am

Not really, because that’s just a wiki containing tutorials and doesn’t include all the links that have been submitted to the UE4 Forum.

anonymous_user_c6a57ca0 · June 30, 2014, 7:41am

How about a section dedicated to professional tutorials? Not that all the community stuff isn’t just superb, cause it is! But it would be awesome to have a place to find out when a new professional tutorial has launched to market.

These are the ones i have found so far,

Does my book not count as professional? Frankly sir, I am offended!

Somehow I never come across your book, but I hunted it down! Added to the list.

anonymous_user_d829b65b · August 3, 2014, 9:22pm

Not sure if this is the right place, but what I personally want to really see is more documentation and video tutorials about implementation of animations with C++, and as little blueprints as possible, controlling animmontages etc from code for instance. Would love to know. Thanks

Found this very useful introductory tutorial about UMG:https://.com/watch?v=gOtQZ2zgGzU
Mind adding this one ?
