How do I learn Unreal Engine?

[Namidaa2]

Hi!

I recently started learning unreal engine from the documentation, but I’ve seen a lot of very bad reviews about it.
In addition, I come across frequent errors in the links, for example:

1. Placing Actors in Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.1 Documentation
   
   
2. World Settings in Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.1 Documentation
   
   
3. Unreal Engine Terminology | Unreal Engine 5.1 Documentation
   Unreal Engine Terminology | Unreal Engine 5.1 Documentation
4. There are also links that lead to non-existent pages (code 404).

I would like to ask you for advice, what is the best way to study UE to choose for an indie developer?
I don’t really like courses, but I don’t mind tutorials.
I also have a small commercial experience in developing mobile applications for Android.
And before, for me, documentation was the best way to get high-quality and complete knowledge.

The best way, is to figure out what you want to do, and try and do a tiny part of that now.

Find anything you can, especially youtube tutorials, and piece something together.

As far as knowledge and documentation go, the UE docs are quite often out of date, and there is no total documentation. You will never have full knowledge of the engine. So you have to work in certain areas.

Hi @Namidaa2 I’d recommend taking a look at this tutorial - ‘Your First Game In Unreal Engine 5’ . It’s a nice one to follow through and covers lots of features including UI, cameras, materials, particles, sound etc.

After that, I’d recommend checking out the Learning Library on this Epic Dev Community. We have a lot of Beginner tutorials here.

Hope that helps!
