Starting a open world in unreal enginee 5

I’m starting a new open world in Unreal engine 5. What i would like to know is the best way to add 3rd person to it. Would i be better selecting 3rd person then starting new level ? Also how do i set where i want to place my imported .fbx file in the open world.

Hi Mike,

You can do it either way with the same result, If you have a blank project you can add Templates with the ‘Add Feature or Content Pack’ button:

For placing an fbx, you can drag items from the content browser into the viewport to place them in the world.

Cheers.

I have it working now :slight_smile: Thanks anyways, Also is it easy to extend the landmore on the sides in the open world and add in the sea, Cause i want to add in the sea ?

Glad to hear it,

I’d start experimenting with the ‘Manage’ tab in landscape mode.

For water, take a look at the water plugin (But if the plugin seems like too much, you could always add a sea with a giant ‘Plane’ shape facing upwards.
