The UR4 is to me, the best thing ever for a guy like me. But why is it when I’m half way through designing a level, I’m fine and I’m going steady. But the beginning of the process is something I dread doing? It’s like. I have this block and sooooo much space. That I have to fill up and change. And blueprints are , but after all those tuts for them, I still have a hard time remembering which command is right for the action/function I want. And that’s when I feel overwhelmed and shut myself down. (Which is why I haven’t touched UR4 in 3 weeks)
Anyone else have this problem with getting started?
a lot depends on your starting point, eg when you first started learning level design / creating . for some who started years a go with small dm type maps its easier but for those who have just started it can be very overwhelming with how much space you can use and how much content you can put in, also due to the advances in game / hardware tech you can do so much more now but as you have noticed you have a whole lot more to learn. the best advice i can give is start small and keep it simple eg crawl - walk - run , this way you slowly build your knowledge of the editor
Yeah. That’s true. But I just wonder if there is a way top push past that feeling, something easier than what I’ve been doing. (I’ve spent way more time watching vids and reach docs than in the engine doing these things)
I made a simple level called practiceLevel in which I keep trying different things and keep adding practice models…I try one time following video, then delete the blueprint and try without video…I figure if I keep doing this over and over there will be no problem remembering…Don’t let yourself get overwhelmed if you are just learning…You have plenty of time to get overwhelmed when your boss is going to fire you if you don’t get it done on time…
Is that your subtle way of suggesting the poster should write UE4? If not, I think the poster was thinking U(n)R(eal) 4, instead of U(unreal) E(ngine) 4…
