What can and can't be done in Unreal Engine 4?

I’m a bit lost as to what the actual functions are of UE4 and where 3D modelling software comes into it.

3D modelling software is used to your create assets, static meshes (chairs/tables/doors…) and skeletal meshes (people/guns/cars).

UE4 is used to create the actual game, so you import the assets created in blender and setup you scene/levels in UE4 and then do things like add controls/gameplay and menus.

I can see that UE4 has basic functions such as creating walls, ledges, ceilings and so forth, so I assume that work is done there

while you can use UE4’s tools to create walls/ledges… most people just use those to to block out there scene/level and the replace the walls/ledges with static meshes made in modelling software.

hope that helps:)
