In this course from Epic Online Learning, we cover the high-level basics of Unreal Engine 5.2. Learn to create new projects using project templates and add custom or premade assets with the Content Browser. Easily add Actors to levels and modify their properties with the Details panel; gain control of environmental lighting and effects with Lighting Actors; and create Blueprint Actors and use the Blueprint Editor to control them. Finally, learn how to package your projects for playtesting and sharing.

Wow the famous UE4 Youtuber, Matthew Wadstein. Can’t wait to see more tutorials from him with Epic!

This is amazing for the ones (like me) who want to get a smooth entrance into UE. One of the critical parts that you mentioned during the chapter on lighting is that there are several ways of getting what we are looking for, so most probably, there is an existing feature that UE already has. So, before starting to do that thing manually, first, take a look at the documentation. That’s the tricky part for me. Being a non-English speaker native, sometimes it’s challenging to get the word that the UE team used for naming things. So, we have to spend time looking for the right word. Some things are simple as Shaf, but others that we may refer to using different terms. I was trying to say that following a tutorial may give you the basics of doing things. Still, it would be best to understand the logic behind the system/tool to master it and get the full potential using your creativity.

For the section “Working with Additional Assets”, I can not complete the importing audio step since my “OnlineLearningKit” does not have that file. Anyone has the same issue?

Hey FarukC,
The module for working with additional assets shows how you can use your own assets with Unreal Engine 5. The files shown are some sample files that we chose to show how these types of assets can be imported and what you might see when you import them.
You can use any of your own assets to follow along if you would like, otherwise, you can watch the video and see how you would import when you need it.
If you do need some assets, there are some sample ones included with the project in a .zip file in the Content directory. I have attached a screenshot showing the folder where the file is (mine is in my Projects folder) as well as the name (RawAssets.zip). You can extract these to another location on your computer and use them if you would like to follow along with when watching the module.

This is the first tutorial I’ve done for Unreal, and this was the probably the best one to learn from. You explained everything quick with a simple explanation. Thank you.

I am using 5.2, and when you click Content Drawer - Dock in Layout, it does not dock. It brings up a floating window of the Content Drawer. Windows 11.

Okay, I changed my desktop resolution, and now the Content Drawer docks correctly.
