3D Modeling in Unreal Engine - Create a Donut in UE4 Tutorial

In this free tutorial we will go over the fundamentals of 3D modeling and sculpting within Unreal Engine! We will only use the tools available in UE4 to create a delicious doughnut completely from scratch. 3D modeling in Unreal Engine is great and it can be very helpful for creating level blockouts and quickly editing already existing assets in the engine.

i did the blender doughnut and several other of andrews tuts...this made me smile. very funny and kind of amazing that unreal can now do this so easily...

Saving these tutorials for later. Appreciating the clean and professional approach of these. cheers.

This is by far the best channel for unreal engine, high quality info and more than amazing dude!

[@oddtopsy]

thank you for starting this channel, hands down the best most informative tutorials for beginners ! you don't talk so fast, or try and be a flashy character, just straight information, and explination on how and why things work.......but where did you go ?!?!?! please come back.

[@mohitsethi99]

You deserve way more subscribers! Thanks for awesome tutorials.

[@obnoxiousbong]

Nice look forward to more modeling tuts of stuff that will be actually helpful such as landscapes, warehouses, bunkers, fortresses etc

[@RyanSchmidtEpic]

Wow great tutorial! Just one tip, there are more efficient ways to do that initial selection on the torus, using the different Selection Modes in the selection brush (eg the angle-filtered and all-within-angle). In 4.26 we have some other tools that would have made it easier to make the 'icing', like the Offset and VoxWrap tools.

[@orlandogodoy4757]

Nicely explained with the necessary steps, instructions and tips to properly model in this program.

Man... Epic and Unreal... Really surprising.

[@da_cat]

Wow this is great, such a good addition for making some fast low poly stuff that you might need. I like to make everything from scratch myself, i feel like i need to know exactly how many poly stuff has XD i even deleted the default walls in UE4 and made my own in Blender lol just to make sure they have the minimum amount of poly.

[@robchurchill1368]

great work! SUBSCRIBED!!!

[@aashay]

People who are complaining about modelling in Unreal are missing the whole point. Sensei himself says that he'd rather model in Zbrush. This is to illustrate a point that even after bringing meshes in Unreal, one can tweak the geometry if need be. Plus there are so many extra nuggets of Information,tips and tricks sprinkled through like painting vertex color etc. Thanks Sensei or Unreal Guru? One Request- Can you teach us Unreal Composure? Hardly any tutorial and would love to be able to put green screen actors in these real time backgrounds.

[@UnrealSensei]

Glad you liked it! The future of Unreal is definitely virtual production VFX for tv and film. Eventually I will make a tutorial for realtime compositing but probably not soon since I have other tutorials in the works

[@shaak_s]

Awesome Tool! In some cases it really can replace blender for beginner alone wolfs :)

[@AnkitSharma-sy6yu]

I like how you are creating tutorials which will help people who use a different 3D software transition to Unreal Engine. Bcos learning Unreal Engine is on many artists' to-do list. If possible, create some Product Visualizations using Unreal for modelling and then PBR texturing/lighting and finally rendering all done using Unreal only. Watch some vidoes on Vimeo for Mobile Phone companies advertisements like Samsung or Sony to understand what I mean. Anyways, thanks for uploading helpful content.

[@UnrealSensei]

Thanks! Yes that's eventually the plan once the modeling tools get better. Will start with Archviz before since 4.26 is officially introducing GPU lightmass which will speed up our light bakes significantly

Hostently this is amazing but I still prefer Blender. One can create anything inside there and bake to diffuse map invert the green channel of the N Map and ship it to UE.

[@thanoszag6563]

I would add some subsurface colour too

[@burhanhasan3204]

Sensei can you share tutorial create character realistic from blender to unreal, thanks Sensei thanks for all DETAILS tutorial...

[@chironpictures]

Great tutorial! Would you consider redoing this tutorial in Unreal Engine 5? I'm following along in 5 right now, but this modelling tool is different from this enough that someone who's new to Unreal Engine like me would struggle a bit. Specifically, PolyGroups seems work quite differently enough that I'm getting lost in the UI details and missing the how and why of how this works. Thanks regardless!

[@BunnyBunniee]

same! :[

[@msob7y]

just use blender lmao

[@chironpictures]

@@msob7y Turns out, I did. Yes, there is definitely an advantage to using Blender for modelling, especially when it comes to things like precision modelling. However, being able to model directly in Unreal Engine really speeds up certain tasks. For example, having the ability to model right in the context of a scene helps you to make sure it fits within everything else in a scene. It’s also fast if you’re doing something like modelling walls after you’ve created a map already and you want to make changes or add and expand rooms or layouts. In any case this tutorial is great and having an updated one would be great as well.

[@AfterglowVisuals]

Do you have any more up to date tutorials on modeling in unreal engine?

[@lacilaci]

I hope they will eventually make the modeling tools to the level of blender.

[@literallyjeff]

Is it possible to merge these meshes and bake the materials to a texture for performance? Maybe using Merge Actors tool? Does using the IF node create a big performance hit for the material?

[@obsession4mechanic752]

Amazing! 🍩💥 Nice feature that has been added! On my channell I model it in Autodesk Inventor for fun🤣

[@An0therR0gue]

can you do a video in UE4 to do with sockets? you know adding to shelves so that random equipment spawns there, etc...

[@UnrealSensei]

Sockets are mostly used for attaching objects to a skeletal mesh character's bone not for shelves. If you want objects to populate shelves then use Blueprint check out "Blueprint for Artist" on the channel I go over spawning objects in BP

[@iLikeTheUDK]

Can UV editing and booleans be used in this?

[@teacake450]

Love your tutorials. I work with IMac and MacBookPro and the modeling tool is not working. Anybody else has the same issue?

[@ledass7120]

Does this make efficient topology redundant ? As in would it be better to model assists in unreal and substance rather than 3ds max or Maya? Is this the end of quad based minimal meshes?! So many questions someone enlighten me.

[@garrytalaroc]

Hey sensei. Can you do this again in UE5?

[@habib.bhatti]

I use VEX in houdini and you can assign random colors in just one line of code, is there a way to add a 'Code' node instead of having to use all those nodes

I am trying it since hours and I don´t know how to fix it: From 7:50 it´s not working. After clicking on PolyCut-Tool, I see the same grid and the same (red) ring with the subdivisions. Everything is the same. But the "filled hole" is still filled. Also pressing "accept" makes no difference.
