In this first part of the Intro to UE4 workshop, Unreal Engine Evangelist Sjoerd De Jong will build out the functionality of the game using Blueprint visual scripting and some C++. This first part covers the gameplay framework embedded within the engine, and the Unreal Engine's powerful but easy to understand visual scripting system Blueprint.
Hour 2
Intro to UE4 - Part 2: Art pipeline, world editing, and lighting
Moving forward with building the game from Part 1, in this second of the Intro to UE4 workshop Sjoerd will explain the art pipeline of the Unreal Engine by importing assets and creating materials. By building a visually pleasing and realistic apartment, Sjoerd will take the attendees through the level editing process, and demonstrate almost all of Unreal Engine 4's lighting features.
Hour 3
Intro to UE4 - Part 3: Particles, sounds, and menus
Wrapping up the Intro the UE4 workshop, Sjoerd finishes the game by taking the attendees through particle creation, the build-in sound tools, and the creation of a simple HUD and main menu.
