How to Create a Map EXTREMELY FAST in UE5

[@suryasel.7065]

Anyone scrolling down the comments, take this from me - There're several videos on this topic by other creators that I've seen, and this is the one I recommend the most. Pacing and content on point, loved it

[@evansbohl]

Wow thank you Surya for this kind message 🙏 it's extremely rewarding to know that viewers like my tutorial this much 😊

[@DeadPixel1105]

Thank you so much for this. I'm just starting out with Unreal Engine, and I wanted to make a reproduction of classic Doom's E1M1 map. But once I got into the Unreal Engine Editor, I realized it was not going to be as easy as I thought. This geometry tool demonstrated in this video is EXACTLY what I needed. Thank you so much.

[@ristopaasivirta9770]

Awesome tutorial. I love that you go fast on this demonstration as it is more about experimentation.

[@astedroid]

this tutorial is EVERYTHING I needed. It makes me feel like a dumb on how crazy easy it is to make enviroments with these tools

[@killcode6979]

Could you do a video on adding material to this as well? I'm curious on your approach. My first thoughts were along the lines of creating a layered material and painting it.

[@Cronosonic]

I've been wondering about this as well. Being able to use a bunch of materials to paint onto block meshes would be amazing for prototyping.

[@evansbohl]

That's a great idea! This week-end I was searching exactly how to do it and found out a solution :) When in modeling mode, you can go to the "attributes" category and select the "MatEd" tool. Once it's enabled, you just have to select faces and assign a new material to them ;)

[@HyenaHijinks]

@@evansbohl thank you so much! i was wondering how to do this

[@evansbohl]

@@HyenaHijinks You're welcome 😁

[@AlqueMeteor]

dude! That block out looks really cool!!

[@koamiamegnran691]

I love that you show the bloopers at the end, very encouraging

[@mehdimkhrbch]

did you use a custom material to change the color 9:22

[@ScotttyJay]

Awesome tutorial buddy. Can’t wait to see more. Also love the progress bar at the bottom. Every tutorial needs that. 👍

[@evansbohl]

Hey thanks a lot Scotty for your comment! Also, great to know that the progress bar is useful 😁

[@michaelcornwell4229]

I thought that was awesome too!

[@MrAronur]

This video helped me so much, thanks for being such a great guy Evans, keep up the good work. Lots of love from Norway

[@xLTxFire]

What I'm wondering now is if there's a way to export the map to have as a reference in an actual modeling tool. It would be nice to be able to work directly off the greybox when the time came.

[@ThE4EvRPs3GaMeR]

This was literally exactly what I was looking for to explore my modeled scene from blender in real time. Thank you!!!

[@evansbohl]

Hey you're welcome! Glad to know that I can help you with what you need!

[@bidoof22]

why did you create a scene in blender instead of unreal?

The stuff in the beginning looks like what the Tomb Raider editor was capable of more than 20 years ago. I miss games that come with their own level editor.

[@zeramavis]

This teaches and encourages a lot to try oneself, thank you, so much value in 10 minutes ❤

Great video and explanation. I'm literary teaching this to a class tomorrow morning and this has helped so much 😅 cheers mate 👍

[@evansbohl]

Hey you're welcome! Glad to know I could help a fellow teacher 😁

[@ProjectWrecked]

This reminds me so much of some old open source games I used to play when I was a kid. Assault Cube, Sauerbraten and a couple others. They used open source engines called Cube and Cube 2. You could edit levels in-game just like this. Those games are what got me into game development.

[@Gravitation3Beatles3]

Subscribing for the material of course, but what got me is that bar at the bottom. Love knowing where I am in a lesson

[@BenMiller-l5u]

Great video! Great bloopers too!

[@zackaccount]

Great video! I find I'm quite slow when blocking out levels and I wasn't happy with other methods like the brush editing tool. This is a game changer for me. Thank you! Subbed.

[@aureliusog]

Thanks for showing this! I didn't even know this tool existed and it's exactly what i need for my current project! Thanks Evans.

[@bobdawkins7473]

[@TheBrilliantSpoy]

You’re awesome for this, looking forward to watching your other tutorials

[@aakburns]

How are you texturing the faces of the same object different?

[@boggledeggnoggler5472]

Did you ever figure this out?

[@aakburns]

@@boggledeggnoggler5472 honestly, no.

[@emoji4397]

@@boggledeggnoggler5472 i think you dont because the whole map becomes one object and it can only show you a rough idea and not do be used. What i have seen is, that you should probably just go into blender or whatever 3d modeling software you're using and graybox everything there. Because the software would make each object really as it's own object you could even change it around and make them in-scale. The only thing that you would have to do is to import it into unreal as an fbx and fix collisions, materials (because fbx dont really get them right)

[@PatrickTheDM]

I'm sure I'll be watching your videos again and again as I learn. Thank you very much for making them Evans.

[@evansbohl]

Hey thank you so much Patrick for this kind comment! It takes a lot of work to make tutorial videos, but reading these feedbacks makes me want to do more 😁 Thanks again and have a great day!

[@Voidload]

Amazing, thank you!

[@gimmedataids]

Can you use these meshes as a guide to replace with detailed game assets? Like have your Cube Grid mesh visible with 25% opacity, and line up your detailed meshes to that?

[@KikinProductions]

Thank you! But do you know how to resize a shape without both ends moving inward/outward in the same time? I just want to rize one end only.

[@Daniel_VolumeDown]

I was looking for something like that recently. I found paid addon for blender. It is grid modeller. Now only thing left is "first person view" version of this type of modeling. Basically Minecraft with little blocks mod or chisel mod with additional ability to "fillet" and "chamfer" edges. Probably esiest way it would be to make modification for minetest and add option to export modles as 3d objects

[@bakakaizoku]
