Level Design in UE4 is slow and tedious.

Well, as a former Source Engine Hammer Editor User, I can definitely relate to the people who crave for proper brush-tools. So as someone who has missed the change from brush/bsp to meshes for level-making, can someone outline the general process and has some resources for how to use/learn blender in conjunction with UE4?

1. a beginner tutorial (just when you havent used blender before :)) e.g ?

2. Rough steps:
   -create the mesh with the right scale 1cm=1uu
   -uv map it + create the textures ?v=f2-FfB9kRmE
   -create a collision, a lightmap and lod’s -> ?v=17pcyPVplEc ://
   -export the mesh (default settings) + the textures (you can save them from the UV editor)
   -import everything
   -do a right click onto the texture and create a material -> ?v=lngF4VVNER4&list=PLZlv_N0_O1gbQjgY0nDwZNYe_N8IcYWS-&index=1
   -assign the material to the mesh (double click onto the mesh in the content browser - add the material to the slots)
