Note: Was able to follow this same process, for the most part, to get a character setup in UEFN. There was a small difference but the outcome worked well enough.
This series is built to help ABSOLUTE beginners with Unreal Engine. It focuses on navigation in the viewport and working with assets and actors in a level. We developed it in conjunction with Epic. It comes with a free project, video tutorials, PDF walkthroughs, and hit us up when you have questions.
By playing with built-in features such as the Chaos fracture system, physics simulation, Niagara, Metasounds, Modeling tools, and materials, users will walk away with assets that can be used outside this project and outside of Unreal Engine.
