Unreal Engine 5 Beginner Tutorial Part 2: Navigating the Interface like a PRO

In this episode, we learn how to navigate through the viewport, adjust camera movement speed, and add primitive shapes like cubes. Gain an overview of the interface elements including Outliner and Details tab, and explore transformations such as transform, rotation, scaling, and snapping. We will also go through the Content Drawer, creating folders, and saving your work. Then, we show you how to create a basic level, and use items from the starter content to create a scene with fire and smoke.

[@doodlve]

I love this series. It will be huge once people realize the power of Unreal Engine

[@badxstudio]

Glad you love it buddy

[@kieranjclark]

Really enjoying this so far. What I really like is the questions you guys are asking each other, almost acting on behalf of the viewer. So many tutorials just show how to do something and often skip over why you're doing it.

[@chetlamanish9017]

yes this is really awesome

[@GamingLegend-uq3on]

Oh my God, the tutorial series I've been waiting for since ages. I wanted to learn unreal engine for animations couple of years ago but couldn't work with it because of lack of the tutorials and guides, i think this will be possible now Thanks to you guys for that. I really wanted to learn about cloth physics, i hope you guys also covered it in this series. You nailed every basic step in this tutorial ngl i've been learning UE from past few days but didn't knew about these basic steps properly, you guys explain things clearly and in creative way keep this spirit up. Creating tutorials like these takes a lot of time and energy for that i THANK YOU guys again. 🙏

[@badxstudio]

That is our goal ..To teach you all the basics in 20 videos in less than 8 hours ...After taking this beginner tutorial, you can then dive deep into more specialized routes of Unreal

[@lidestudios5094]

How come I’m realizing how easy it is to use unreal engine just now? Wtf this is INCREDIBLE- I’ve always been scared of professional tools bc they have too many features and are usually too difficult to use bc of that, blender is a good example, I spend so long trynna learn it every now and then and I’d quit, but this… omg this is exactly what I wanna spend the rest of my life doing!

[@meetagarwal2177]

Your content is truly outstanding! It's been such an honor to witness the upload of this wonderful series. The creativity and effort you put into each video are truly impressive. Keep up the amazing work, and I can't wait to see what you create next!

[@xoseanlife]

You guys did a great job!! Love the both of you talking and asking questions.

[@jakes.journeys]

You two are great. This series is great. I'm grateful this is here.

[@ArtificallyIntelligentAi]

This is the most enjoyable series on unreal engine and the first time I'm excited to see the next video.

[@gavinxu1622]

Although I am already familiar with these basic knowledge about UE5, I find myself still enjoy this episode. It is so nice to have this pair programming/teaching approach that covers all the details about UE

[@Rubenss1234]

thats a good one guys, i spend entire day today to get into basics and i am 100% goin to finish your course, hopefully after this it will be easier to start interior design in ue5

[@mraziz3230]

you guys are awesome for explaining everything on this video, i will continue with other chapters. thank you and subscribed :)

[@djohnworthy1040]

Thanks to you guys I will switch to UE5 after I finish my horror game that I make in Unity. Plus I am focusing on a side project and learning UE5 to make a cinematic environment. It would be so good for a person to have this kind of teacher man. Love them.

[@user-oj3bo3uz8q]

Couldn't expect this tutorial to be that useful!!! You're awesome!!!

[@badxstudio]

Glad we could help

[@bezalelsukdulary1511]

[@hamada921]

I'm finally working on a passion project I've wanted to do for ages, got a better computer so I downloaded ue5, and your series is perfect so far. Thank you for making it! The two of you work really well together, and asking each other questions is extremely helpful.

[@ArthurMorganVP]

Also I'm not sure what I did but my first world came as an open world, not sure what I could've changed with that

[@3dcolmaker]

I´m waiting for next chapter!!... is amazing guys. I'm learning from 0. So this is a great tutorial, I just know how to use nomad sculpt. hopefully i will be able to use it with unreal engine 5. thanks

[@gotenks157]

BTW, the middle mouse panning can also be done by clicking and holding LMB while already holding RMB. Loving the Tutorial so far.

[@TommyZambo]

Im still compiling shaders, give me a min and I will move on with the tutorial. Thanks for sharing this basic course of UE5, It's something that I was looking for = )

[@AthemOski]

🥰THANK YOU For This

[@badxstudio]

Most welcome

[@nickibrownaj]

Game changer with the ability to increase/decrease camera speed while in motion with the middle mouse button 😻

[@ProjectHelisexuality]

I've been using Fusion and Blender for some goofy (but very complex and sometimes advanced) VFX. Looking at this, it definitely looks like something I could do. Switching between so many sets of shortcuts could get a bit tedious, though. I already have to readjust between Fusion's 3D controls and Blender's each time.

[@motojojos]

You guy deserve all the Sub and like 😎

[@ana-ot3is]

Part 2 Ready

[@dannyking46]

I like this team 👍

[@badxstudio]

😍

[@Aliahmad_Design]

awesome its super easy to learn from you guyz. one question my hot keys are not working . i mean when i press asdw the camera does not move. it moves on moves but not with the keys .

[@nickibrownaj]

Note (15:00): You can cycle through the transform gizmo modes (i.e., position, rotation, and scale) by pressing the space bar instead of memorizing W, E, & R.

[@demckee7526]

Thank you gents

[@Nasty1512]

You can use arrow keys too for panning around

[@GamingGuy256636]

@Bad Decisions Studio just a reminder if you hold "RMB + Mouse Wheel" that will also change your camera speed, You may have found this out later on in your Tutorials.

[@OmarAltantawy-kf9xj]

this is really good, but i am making games, and i really want a tutorial on blueprints or c++ in unreal engine. I hope you upload it before i finish the series

[@ALSAHAFI13]

31:38 Mind blown 🤯. The lighting is incredible. I use Twinmotion which also has Lumen, but this somehow looks way better. 32:30 Is the fire basically a PNG image sequence? I mean, is it just video frames being projected onto flat planes with transparency, or is it actually 3D?

[@mlnima]

Thank you, when you gonna publish the next one?

[@badxstudio]

Everyday we will post 1-2 episodes ❤️

[@anupam_yt1664]

My control s works

[@polatkemalakyuz2021]

Chicken Head for Push scroll button move. I gues it matches 😄

[@ammarly835]

omg! where is the next chapter!! :(( I am hooked and waiting with the cubes on fire!

[@badxstudio]

hahahah 2 more chapters: Modelling Basics and Advanced will go up in a few hours

[@marvinbadalanimations9182]

Just wondering does ue have a 3d curser to quickly move the objects to the 3d curser ?

[@mostafazmos6114]

thanks for your tutorials !! Why did my flame not burn only shows an image. When i press Play Start Simulation then it burns. but you dont press start in the tut :/

[@giob1232]

At 1:57 you point out the keystrokes showing real time. How can I enable this?

[@Mahibul]

How to render VolumetricCloud animation? I rendered it, but it was freezing. I'm new in UE. Do you help me please? Thanks.

[@NATG365]

What are the PC specs you are using ? Thanks

[@nickibrownaj]

Note (18:35): Crtl + Shift + S is the keyboard shortcut for save all, the same effect as the button pressed at this point 🤘🏻

[@bjmgraphics617]

I have oceans and mountains and my ground is sand color not checkered gray. I also get a rotating widget and not an arrow.

[@Cathair]

Love these tutorials. May I please get an assist here: I'm having trouble with fire effect. As in... I can't get the effect to display. P_Fire actor is showing in Outliner and viewport as a star icon. Just not showing the actual fire effect. I've pushed a few buttons and searched trying to find a fix.

[@SimonePixel]

I figured it out. I was having the same problem. Go to the hamburger menu in th upper left. To the left of the Perspective menu. Click the option regarding Realtime rendering. You have to disable the override and once you do that you can check the box for Realtime or simply do Ctrl+R to enable and disable it

[@mrrager1409]

you guys are a godsend

[@endergem957]

8:36 When I spawned the cube I didn't get the 3 arrows, i got 3 rotational wheels

[@the-secrettutorials]

Farhad is asking as he wouldn't be a master himself 😃 But the concept works great

[@badxstudio]

hahahaha glad that the role play is working

[@artemrybka1205]

Пацаны ваще ребята :)) respect

[@COACH_KARSTEN_OPPINIONS-xs3xn]

26:19 When pressing CTRL-L nothing really happens? There are no handles to click on. The widget to control lights appears, but I cannot do anything? Panning around with the mouse doesnt work either, and eventually the CTRL-L widget goes away 😞 ... Do you know what I'm doing wrong?? GREATE SERIES! Greetings from Copenhagen, Denmark

[@joemusyoki3251]

Hi which version of unreal engine did you use to make the tutorial?

[@alebud1403]

5.3 recent version before 5.4 preview

[@valk5041]

WASD movement is turned off for me by default. where do i turn it on? edit: for anyone else wondering, you need to go to edit on the top>editor preferences>scroll down to view ports>flight camera control type to change it

[@CabrioDriving]

Change the name of studio to Good Decisions Studio. Bad Decisions is not a good karma :)

[@mhshprd]

Yea

[@wildmillardz8934]

But it's great wisdom, for bad decisions create lessons learnt lol

[@jayeshjaiswal1841]

can i follow same using Unreal Engine 4. Its bec i currently have GTX 1650 and 8GB RAM.

[@Oldladywithastick]

There might be a couple features that are missing. You might need to find a workaround for some stuff.

[@ruchirreddy704]

Specifications of your pc please

[@unbreakableironman]

At 32:31 when I insert the fire, it doesn't show the fire. However, if I hit the play button then the fire shows. I hit ESC and the fire is gone. I am following step by step. Any help?

[@SimonePixel]

I figured it out. I was having the same problem. Go to the hamburger menu in th upper left. To the left of the Perspective menu. Click the option regarding Realtime rendering. You have to disable the override and once you do that you can check the box for Realtime or simply do Ctrl+R to enable and disable it

[@PBPVIDEO]

Thx guys for this tut marathon but where is the same fire & smoke as in this video? in my Particles folder it's too basic not as in your video )))) Cascade Particle System (Legacy) not just Material... this is a bad decision for tricky chiki (
