Creating A Basic Blank Level in Unreal Engine 5

[@J3ubbleboy]

As someone new to UE this video was super helpful to understand what the minimum for a project is. After watching the video, I realized you can just create a new level (ctrl + n), then select basic, and it will essentially do all of this for ya!

[@ViperRulerlm]

Very glad you made this video. Most "basic" unreal tutorials assume you already have knowledge on how to do this stuff. This video is needed for ABSOLUTE beginners that don't know anything.

[@pennaverdeful]

Everyone shows a tutorial on how to BUILD a level but if someone needs to create a blank level there is no such thing! Except for your video... Thanks!

[@sasookay514]

Exactly what I needed. Coming from Unity, the default leve that got generated was a little confusing and intimidating. This was exactly what I needed. Thank you!

[@RH3D]

cant believe I needed a tutorial for this... how can a company like epic not get "file>new" correct?

[@akzork]

lol

[@FPChris]

Exactly. Blank Project should be DIRT SIMPLE

[@SandyM1993]

I'm about ready to give up on UE5. I might try Unity. I hear it's a much better, user-friendly platform.

For lighting I think you need to use the "env light mixer". Window -> Env. Light Mixer

[@stevehtml5490]

THANK You man ! Learning UE5 as a hobby , like Blender , wanted a blank starting point , This was a great help , thanks again

[@jonbv2434]

I admire how it was presented and well explained, Salute!

[@WillfulTangentMedia-fn2tp]

If you want to rapidly build a lighting solution: TOP LEFT: Window>Env. Light Mixer> Choose how in depth you want (Minimal, Normal, Normal+Advanced) then adjust settings as desired.

I've been using Unity for 8 years though work, and I'm switching over to using Unreal while trying to find a new job. I needed this tutorial. Unity does a pretty good job at giving you at least something in a blank scene, but this was BLANK-blank, so I was caught out like a deer in the headlights.

[@arturorg0]

UE5 be like: you want a blank scene? Here you go.

[@tacosalpaxtor]

This helped a lot. For some reason my landscape is transparent. On to the next youtube search.

[@danisantos5910]

Thank you for this video! I started oficial Unreal tutorial ( Stack O Bot - Project) and I was realy confused about terrain. Thank you again! From 🇧🇷

[@bikerboijp]

So helpful for me starting out. Thank you!

[@Mindbogglaz]

My main problem is I’m following everything step by step but still have no grid for a floor. Also no sunlight when I hold control L no matter where I move my mouse. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I’ve been stuck on this for two days 😢

[@jamesdenny1131]

What's the difference between doing this and just clicking basic?

[@djgeneticdisorder]

This is exactly what i was looking for, thnx for sharing now i can build the normal way

[@anjoomfaisal]

this is exactly what i was looking for! thank you so much. this is really really helpful for my learning. :)

[@grandaddyjesus]

Very helpful! exactly what I needed thank you!

[@lmeier48]

Hey that was great!! thank u , i'm very new in UE so someone knows how to create a night decent atmosphere and light?

[@DragonHeartCreative]

OMG thank you. so helpful. this was driving me crazy trying to figure out. the starting scene says, "blank" but it's not really. thank you for your guidance!

[@SandyM1993]

Is there any reason to create a blank level when there's an option to create a black open world? The blank open world is EXACTLY the same as a blank level only much larger.

[@anjoomfaisal]

for learning :)

[@thavrisco1632]

How to make a level that really is just a black screen with variable text on it?

[@toxicgamerz1969]

How do I get the details to pop up on the right side bar for editing?

[@alperenm6642]

good intro, thanks

[@FPChris]

1:45 Where did the terrain level go? Is it still stored in the project somewhere wasting space?

[@cameliabenhmida1773]

if you don't save the default level, it will deasappear when you create a new one (and won't be part of the game)

[@Rigboi420]

Really helpful thank you for this video!

[@wayne9954]

gr8 video

[@truffleshuffl]

It literally describes itself as having no code, but it has uneditedable mountains... infuriating.
