Ultimate Guide to Unreal Engine 5 | From Basics to Advanced Techniques

[@harshbarondiya]

I have been using UNREAL ENGINE for a long time... But I stopped using it for 1 year and just for a quick revision I found this tutorial... I must say this is the best bestest... Tutorial I have ever scene ❤❤❤

[@MoSolei]

thank you so much, please share with others

[@alexdrinkwater5640]

Thank you so much. As someone who has never touched UE5, this tutorial took something that was really overwhelming to actually being pretty confident by the end of it. You're a legend!!!

[@TheRubberStudiosASMR]

Amazing tutorial. Perfect speed- no stupid jokes. Other makers should take note

[@Alexanomano]

This guide is amazing, thanks for talking about game optimization, most of the guides just throw millions of polygons and 8k textures / complex materials with no explanation or understanding of game optimization.

[@yearight1205]

Every once in a while I take an extended break from Unreal Engine. Then I come back and go through one of the latest tutorials to refresh my memory on it all. I'm going to be returning to using Unreal for filmmaking in the near future. So hope your channel helps get me back on track! =)

[@MoSolei]

Thank you for sharing! Taking breaks can be a great way to come back with fresh eyes. I'm glad you're diving back into Unreal Engine, especially for filmmaking-there's so much potential there! I hope the content on my channel helps you get back on track, and if you have any questions along the way, feel free to reach out. Good luck with your upcoming projects!

Glad I could help!

Great Video ! The scary thing is though this video is 3hours20 minutes and it covers about 20-30% of what you need to know to make a full game as a solo dev :) May God Help Us All !

By far the best tutorial I have watched so far. I will have to go back and take some notes, but I am looking forward to seeing what other content you have and what is to come. My personal goal is to make a short film using metahumans, mostly with interior scenes.

[@marknunya3107]

Good god. Why am I so worried about good topology in the models I create when the topology for those assets are so BAD? Edit: Additionally, why the heck did I choose Linux for my PC? I had no idea the epic store wasn't available on Linux. Guess I'll take a break here and go model all of these assets in Blender! Edit 2: Lastly, thank you for such a comprehensive tutorial. I paid for some courses on another site and they were nowhere near as comprehensive with the interface and controls than you were. I'm only halfway through this video right now, but the instruction is much appreciated! I'll make sure to give to your Patreon once the holiday season is over!

@@MoSolei I just finished it. While much of the content here is things I've already covered in other courses, I felt like you covered so many details that the other courses missed.

[@jamesa5890]

At 37:20+ you touch on levels, sublevels and a bit on open world level partition stuff; I am trying to make a system where when my player dies, they go to an alternate dead version of the normal map, I was thinking sublevels was the way to do this, but you said it cannot be done in open world? (because of level partioning? :S)

[@MoSolei]

When working with open world levels in Unreal Engine, level partitioning can make it harder to use sublevels the way you might in smaller maps. To create an alternate map for a “dead” version, you could try conditional loading, which shows or hides areas based on player actions. Alternatively, use blueprint scripting to transition to an alternate version of your map without needing separate sublevels.

[@jamesa5890]

@ :O awesome; Thank you, I will look into those. Appreciate how detailed you are at helping without being super complicated :P tough balance.

[@Namtran-bq3vz]

Thank you for the great tutorial. I am a newbie and this tutorial helps me a lot. But I have download a material from quixel and it dont have tiling X and Y like your setting. Is there anyway to fix it, thanks.

[@MoSolei]

Thank you for your feedback! It's great to hear that the tutorial is helpful for you as a newbie. Regarding the tiling issue, the changes you're noticing with Quixel materials are likely due to recent updates, especially as Quixel transitions into a new library called FAB. Currently, when you download a material from FAB, you might find that it doesn't have separate Tiling X and Tiling Y parameters; instead, it has a single Tiling option that adjusts both axes together. This isn't a major issue, and while you can separate them for more control, it may be a bit complex for beginners. If you have any further questions or need assistance with this, feel free to ask!

[@Namtran-bq3vz]

@@MoSolei Thank you, I should learn the basic blueprint before continuing tutorial :D

[@imksnv]

is your workflow for games or for cinematic stuff (or good for both) ? (thanks for the video anyway !!)

[@MoSolei]

Thank you for your question! The method I demonstrated in the tutorial is versatile and works well for both games and animation/cinematics. There are definitely some optimization techniques that can be applied specifically for games to ensure better performance. However, with the advancements in each new version of Unreal, especially with features like Nanite, Lumen, and Megalight, the need for manual optimization is gradually decreasing.

Amazing! So helpful tutorial of UE5! I do have a question 🙋‍♂️ If I used said “assets(or any other items)” that I *didn’t* create myself on making a game. Then, I released said completed game using said assets. Would I be charged for “copyright” or anything at all for doing so?

[@MoSolei]

It depends on the licensing terms for each asset. Always review the usage terms of the assets you’re incorporating into your project. For instance, assets from sources like Quixel Bridge are free for commercial use if you're within their guidelines, so copyright concerns are minimal in that case. However, assets downloaded from other platforms may have specific restrictions or requirements for commercial use, such as attribution or separate licensing fees. It’s crucial to be aware of these terms to avoid potential copyright issues when publishing your game.

[@Josh_Alfaro]

Note: when making a packed level actor, you can’t include lights. Packed level actors only support meshes. But the Blueprints created from them can have lights be added after they’ve been made

[@MoSolei]

Thanks for mentioning that! You’re right-Packed Level Actors only support meshes, so lights can’t be directly included in them. You can still add lights to the Blueprint created from the packed level afterward, though. Appreciate the tip!

[@MoSolei]

From my perspective, FAB is on a solid path. Sure, there are some bugs, but I’m confident those will be ironed out with time. And with Quixel still free to use until the end of the year, we can make good use of it while improvements roll out. Overall, I’m optimistic about Unreal’s future developments and can’t wait to see what’s next! Thanks for sharing your thoughts-it’s always great to connect on these topics!
