So I’m just starting learning UE4 by myself, and I’ve finished all the quick start tutorials. I’m done with those, have a simple goal in mind, and am currently trying to figure out how to get from Point A to Point B now. There’s so many tutorials, and I have no idea where to start.
I understand there’s most likely a lot I have to learn before I can accomplish my goal, I’m just trying to figure out how to take the first step.
My idea was to make a sort of jiggly, gooey, 3D humanoid model. So far I’ve managed to start a list of things I need to learn before I can do this. I know I’ll have to learn a lot of game physics, and how to make a skeletal mesh and skeleton, and how to animate movements. The mesh hopefully shouldn’t be too hard, as I’m planning on making it all black anyways.
Additional goals include more advanced movements, and making a simple 2.5D platformer for the model.
I have 3DS Max 2018.
I’m willing to start wherever I must, I just want to know where to start.
start with the beginner tutorials / u r target 2.5d stuff kind of looks complex for a beginner , divide it in small pieces and try to accomplish them first… best of luck
Okay but I mean there are a ton of them. I’m trying to narrow down what I need to learn for this one goal rather than tackling every tutorial on the website all at once.
I need a starting point, basically a to-do list of specific tutorials that will help, preferably in some sort of order, or at least a few that I ought to do first.
I’m trying to say I don’t know what to do. I pull up all the tutorials and am overwhelmed. Where do I start? I’ve finished the Quick Starts, but there’s no definitive next step from there. I look at some tutorials that more or less seem like things I’d need to learn, but a brief read confirms that I’ve definitely missed a few steps from Point A to Point G.
I would personally start in 3Ds max. I started learning UE4 by importing my own assets from blender. After I got some of my own objects into the engine, I started learning programming to make them more interesting. I began by learning with Blueprints, but Ive been recently digging much more into C++. I feel that my next step would be learning some networking basics, but I don’t feel that I’m quite there yet lol
