Hello, some question:

  1. this pc can run UE4?
    Intel Core i3 2.93Ghz | Ram: 4GB | Ati Radeon HD 5770 1GB

  2. There is any good tutorial + asset for create, skin and import custom character and weapons inside UE4? Or is available in future?

  3. Is possible to build “external” map, like a big forest using only the Engine assets/tools?

  4. What is the correct rigging method for unreal engine 4? (CAT, Biped…), i can rig and animate my character without an engine prebuilded logic (like custom rigging/animation)?

  5. What is the best suggested software for Modeling, Rigging and Animate a character for Unreal Engine 4?

Thanks!

  1. In my opinion, yes, it will work, but not sure. I am running ue4 on my laptop with a i3 cpu, 4gb ram and a 2gb Radeon hd 8750 and it works pretty good on small to medium levels. Large levels, or too many dynamic lights placed in a single level reduces the FPS dramatically. Actually, more than 6 dynamic lights for me makes the game unplayable.
  2. Try searching on youtube for a guy called TeslaDev. He has a bunch of awesome tutorials
  3. Yes, there are tools to create trees, foliage and even landscape from hightmaps.
  4. You need to rig your character in your 3d modelling software, but with animating you have to options. To animate within the 3d program or animate inside the editor. The choice is yours, however I prefer animating inside the editor
  5. I’m using 3DS Max 2015 Student version, but even free ones like Blender will do the trick. It’s a matter of preference. I prefer autodesk products.

Hope this helps
