Here’s how I learn. First I would watch the Unreal Engine 4 tutorials: > **[Unreal Engine](https://www.youtube.com/user/UnrealDevelopmentKit/playlists)** > > Welcome to the official Unreal Engine channel! > > Unreal Engine is a complete suite of real-time 3D tools made by developers, for developers. Create and take your content anywhere, from PC, console, mobile and VR games to cinematic experiences,... Speaking of youtube you should follow Maverik, he makes incredible speed level design videos > **[Maverick](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgmX4icpN3HnOOwYtmyYz2w)** > > Creating video game environments in Unreal Engine 4 and Unity 5. Then I would watch the Unreal Engine Twitch livestreams: https://player.twitch.tv/?channel=unrealengine&parent=forums.unrealengine.com&autoplay=false Then I would stay active on twitter, and follow all the people who are doing awesome things with the engine, and ask them how they did it. People like Luos, Elhoussine Mehnik, and so many other people. Follow @, he keeps highlighting them. Then I answer people on answerhub, and the Unreal Engine developers community facebook group, the most common questions are related to light baking and proper UVs, luckily there is this awesome LightingTroubleshootingGuide that I keep recommending. > **[A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/a-new-community-hosted-unreal-engine-wiki/141494)** > > After over a year in maintenance mode, the official Unreal Engine Wiki is now permanently offline.
