Unreal Engine 5 Beginner Tutorial Part 3: Modelling Tools Basics

In this episode, after enabling Modelling Tools via Plugins, we will explore the Create category and learn to manipulate primitive shapes like cubes, spheres and we also learn how to use stairs, and cube grids to quickly block out a scene. We then use the Path Extrude tool to create the base shape of our Hangar Spaceship.

[@lazylaz4rd578]

my engine keeps on crashing when i turn on the rounded corners for the hangar :( lil help pls

[@badxstudio]

Dude WE KNOW! Same thing happened to us 10000 times. Ok try these things: 1. Don't turn "Rounded Corners" on before starting your path extrudes. Finishing your shape and when deciding the"Width" before left clicking to confirm, just check rounded corners. 2. Don't turn on Fixed ... instead go "Interactive" for all the settings. 3. Try to follow EXACTLY the steps and settings we took in the same order. Let us know how it goes .... All you have to do is just mess with the settings ... this is totally not your fault ... it's a bug!

[@lazylaz4rd578]

Hey guys@@badxstudio , yea so................. i did that. it worked but when i clicked "complete" after the entire thing its crashed again :/ . so i tried again and now it crashes as soon as i click on "Rounded Corners" :(

[@lazylaz4rd578]

@@badxstudio ​ Ok something weird happened i just made it on the Main level and it WORKED? i dont know what happened but it worked... so YAY :)

[@zoulaul]

i have a solution you can try ,firstly change width mode to fixed and then check rounded corners after that change width mode to interactive again , it should work with you hopefully

[@andirox2740]

@@badxstudio finally bug fix dont try in the same on tutorial do select random points that can make the same model you can apply rounded early its doesn't effect anything!

[@clandelta9]

i LOVE how clear your teaching method is. so many tutorials just run through so quick its so hard to keep up and they dont explain anything.. thats what sets your video apart. SO GOOD

[@mrrager1409]

I’ll be here till the end. I’ve been working on a game in UE5 for half a year been learning for a year, eager and willing to sharpen my craft. Thank you guys so much. I can’t believe I’ve made it this far without knowing how to change pivot point.

We are so glad to hear it buddy. There are tons of tips and tricks in the upcoming episodes

[@thomaskneisel1854]

You can move Pivot Points on your models to get easier scaling. E.g. a Lampposts, Pipes, Ropes etc with a pivot point on the bottom center, are useful to have starting point and scale in one direction without the need of moving your model after each scaling

[@nordicnomad453]

Thanks for these tutorials. Great so far. Is there an alternate way to measure the wireframe hanger rather than the middle mouse key? TIA

[@realadnoh]

Pureref is nice, but why not import the reference image into the project, put it onto a plane and just throw it into the world - on the floor for example - then you could just point n click your shape together. I used to use this technique in blender for modelling - usually 2 images 90 degree stuck into each other - good for cars or symetrical things as you can just mirror it over.

[@GES1985]

Good merch idea for you guys to make/sell: a large keyboard/mouse pad with all of the Unreal 5 shortcuts

[@mariohurtado2180]

This tutorial is amazing!! Thank you for your efforts. Question, do you have a tutorial on the channel where you use Polycam? I see that it has infinite possibilities along with UE5 and other things. Greetings from Venezuela.

Yes we have two videos using Polycam for Drone Photogrammetry and Gaussian Splatting kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJnHk5mfhJpgqa8si=1TKji8upI0FiLbEl kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2TMoZprpaxmb80si=NP5ZaYRGGLRemQTH

@badxstudio can u please tell me how were you able to bring the grids for snapping on that rectangular platform youve got there at 12:50 cause ive tried it but wasnt able to see any grids forming on the cube which i developed from the modelling tool.

[@KayodeOyeshile]

Please help me @baddecision studio . Trying to use the cubebrick but the ctrl + drag is making multiple blocks and the blocks are not visible in the viewport after i had accepted it

[@joeslifeproductions]

i did want front pivot to be bottom pivot so it took me a while to adjust correctly

[@dark_anime_arts_]

when i bring any mesh like cube or stairs once i placed it i couldnt make any changes and even after placing a mesh a new one is coming along with my cursor

[@oluwatonilobaerinle6111]

If you're following this tutorial and notice your lighting or lumen render looks off, please switch your scene to Cinematic (it'sat the top of your viewport next to show)... Unfortunately not all devices can handle it because it can be pretty demanding.

[@oluwatonilobaerinle6111]

Thanks for these awesome videos Bad decisions, I'm really enjoying it so far... I would tag you on Instagram when I'm done practicing.

[@notyouraveragegamer7727]

Hey there, been using this tutorial and enjoying it so much. I ran into a problem though. I can not for the life of me get the measuring tool to work. I tried the mentioned method in Orthographic view, but nope. Then I found and alternative method of clicking the middle mouse button and pressing the down arrow, but also nope. Help please :D

[@olliewilliamsAI]

Can i round the corners after creating the object? Or only during creation?

I am not able to accept after using cube grid , getting a pop-up saying I can not modify the built-in asset

[@adeysh6354]

I brought a sphere into my project, I edited the subdivisions, when I close this tap how can I bring it back again to edit more ? I believe you forgot to mention this because I literally watched the whole chapter just to get this info but no success.

[@kingbugti6567]

facing this issue while using the modeling tool in Unreal Engine 5. Can anybody help, please. This tool is currently disallowed from operating on a group topology of this resolution. Current limit set by "modeling. PolyEdit. EdgeLimit" is 60,000 displayed edges, and topology has 79,638 edge segments to display. Limit can be changed, but it exists to avoid hanging the editor when trying to render too many edges using the current system, SO make sure to save your work if you change the upper limit and try to edit a very complicated topology.

Can I run UE on a MacBook M1 MAX?

[@SudipSarkar-qs9zy]

[@unsonlibre8966]

When I click on 'accept' after using the cube grid tool, it doesn't work and I receive the message 'cannot modify built-in engine'. To fix this, I created a new level, but I'm unsure why this happened

I've been watching a few UE creators online be absolute dicks to people trying to learn that are just asking how in their comments. i hijacked their posts and sent everyone links to this channel. thanks!

When ever I bring a box or any primitive shape into the screen, I cannot edit the shape because a new one comes instead. How do I stop it ?

[@HEARAKI]

Whenever I check Rounded corners and try to finish my line Unreal Engine crashes and I can't move from this point.

The toolbar on the left for modeling doesn't appear to me.

[@badxstudio]

Check your plugins and make sure you have modeling enabled!!

[@leventeczutor8239]

@@badxstudio Thanks. Actually, the issue was that the toolbar was there, but the main view window was too big, extending all the way to the left side, so I had to resize it, by grabbing it and pulling it to the right. Then the toolbar appeared. It took some time to figure out, haha.

[@FunIsGoingOn]

You can explain polygons, vertices, wireframes, subdivisions etc., yet you needed like 10 attempts to figure out a hexagon can be contructed with 6 right-angled triangles? Hence when you move 3x3 from the first point, the long side of the hexagon can only be 6, not 4 or 5 or 7. Come on, you didn't needed 10 attempts. ;)
