[@신용인의게임채널]

I'm watching this tutorial from South Korea. I'm so grateful that you guys put this video up because we don't have such a high level of tutorials in Korea yet. Thank you so much for releasing this tutorial for free. I still think it lacks modeling capabilities compared to other software, but just the fact that it is possible to model in a game engine is a huge step forward. You guys recognize the potential and future of Unreal Engine being free and accessible, just like Blender. I saw the potential of your channel when I saw your NARF video and immediately subscribed to your channel back when you had 1000 subscribers, and now you have over 70,000 subscribers. I can't tell you how happy I am to have found your channel from so far away in Korea. Once again, thank you so much for making these videos.

[@lidestudios5094]

My modeler crashed everytime I tried to get the polygon to have rounded corners, so I had it with straight edges. Kinda sucks that I had to do a lot of stuff different than what’s in the video, but you guys teach everything about modeling pretty darn well to the point that I’ve been able to come up with alternative designs easily. I love unreal, you guys are the best at teaching it as well

[@badxstudio]

Your comment made our day. Glad it is helping. That is our goal.

[@ArtemisStern]

Still here! Thanks to you I have just created my first object :D And it is an amazing feeling! Playing with the direction of the light is awesome! Since everything is a design choice I decided to make a small change on my own using skills you showed me. Instead of making "slides" at the bottom exactly the same as in the video, I added a "window" to each one like on the other big elements and then pulled thee bottom of each one making a smaller slide. Amazing video guys!

[@aarondwilliams2002]

Surprised I'm still going. Thank you guys for making this journey interesting enough for me to keep improving my skills! LETS GO

"What if I mis-selected the part" "So let's do that, I 'mis-selected' all of that." I know it was unintentional, but that kind of humor is one of my favorite kind of humor. 😂 It makes being taught a lot more fun ^^

As in Blender, the bevel does have the subdivision parameter to increase the number of faces in the bevel. I set it to 3. If you don't see the subdivisions in your version of Unreal, it is in 5.4.1.

[@GES1985]

After this tutorial series, what do you have in mind? Im hoping some sort of deep dive in blueprint nodes for common gamedev uses. You guys are so easy to understand, and theres a gaping hole for good teachers for this content

Unreal needs better hotkey support... number one reason i have a hard time going from Blender to Unreal is how powerful Blender hotkeys are VS how manual Unreal feels... But this is a surprisingly powerful set of modeling features. im impressed this can be done in unreal at all!

[@pacificlinedesign19]

Great stuff.. I find it quicker to over select and then come back with ctrl when selecting the faces. 😁

The views for this video and the last 2 are all at 77.3k really good retention

[@lln6123]

This is a nice tutorial for learning a new engine! But isnt there a mirror option for your modelling plugin? :D One other thing: In the Video they made at around 27:30 a change to the model which is pretty much illegal in CGI xD They intersected parts their own model, which can cause several problems: -if you want to see your spaceship from the outside, you see the intersecting Faces passing through the floor. It doesnt matter what you try to do to fix this, it will always be a hack :D So rather add another "ring" or "edge loop" or however its called here again, and make that last few extrusions part of the overall mesh. -if you want to work further on this mesh (several itterations are common in this working field) you will always have to deal with this setup, it gets like the "weakest link of it's chain". Especially when programming, you cant afford that anymore. -Even if you manage to have both faces align "perfectly" that will cause problems like z-fighting (you can look that up quickly on KZbin, once you understand what "CG z-fighting" is, you'll always know if you see it again. For a small project like in this example, thats really no problem, it serves its purpose. But for larger projects you'd rather avoid this.

[@nickibrownaj]

You're both "persistent geniuses" ;) Leveled up my modeling aptitude in 3 hours. Thanks, @badxstudio!

[@uyku]

I watched 4 videos in one breath and now I started to feel like "I know kung-fu" kind a think. I will install Unreal Engine immediately on the weekend. I watched some other tutorial videos but I couldn't understand the what's goin on. The way you explained it is very successful. I can't wait for the next video. let's see what this lighting is..

[@badxstudio]

hahahaha we tried to simplify this as much as possible man!! Thanks for the love

[@Ariesblack90]

WHERE IS PART 5 ... I CLEARED MY DAY FIR THIS

[@badxstudio]

it's OUT!!!!

[@lz4090]

nice, i always love working with ue5 modelings tools, i only have a basic blender exp. I think in 5.4 there is already a bevel options to increase the subdivision to make it more smoother. Also I hope you can tackle on the remesh-simplify options (ue standard, oem, etc), normals/tangents, especially when trying to reduce polygons of certain mesh like a wall was made via cubegrid but you did boolean operation or made a hole using cubegrid, it makes extra geometry to i simplify the mesh, at times the settings are good, sometimes some shading problems occur. Also hows the mirror stuff in unreal engine, i was thinking of mirroring that mesh should that you will only need to edit like extrude it on one side and have it mirrored hehe thanks

[@boilcoin2637]

I have encountered the same problem. Simplifying the mesh hasn't helped me.

[@giob1232]

I love following along! I have run into an issue? I believe I had everything checked properly following everything, but for some reason when I look at my screen vs yours @ 16:01, the edges that touch the spaceship walls have this accordion look to them. How can I fix this for my future projects?

in the latest update,subdivision option added to Bevel.

[@StevePaulSounds]

Amazing vid! How would you recommend just learning modelling only in Unreal? I'm finding this much easier than blender..... maybe cos the best teachers :) And when do you think they'll fix it into 1.0?

[@anthonymal8569]

Appreciate your tutorial.. I'm using the latest update for Unreal, I notice the model selection area is different, which I've still been able to follow along, but I can't select individual faces on the rim, inside the tunnel I can only ( after selecting polygroup), even with faces icon turned on. How do I fix? Thanks!

[@eraezr]

Will this tutorial teach how to add first person gameplay?

[@NZDarkKnight]

Hey guys, How did you turn on the grid on the reference grid on the floor of your model? I don't have this enabled on the latest release 5.4.1 by default and measuring is super tricky!

U guys cool👍

[@badxstudio]

[@joemanhwihan6874]

@28:01 how do you get these grid lines on the floor? I Thought it was the floor but thats hidden in view...?? Mine doesnt have this 'measurement'

[@joemanhwihan6874]

@14:14 After you accept, Is there a way to go back and reselect or edit parts from this section? I accidentally selected a pillar adjacent and couldnt figure out how to push back my mistake. I ended up starting over but I wanted to know if there was a way

[@joemanhwihan6874]

@20:06 - how can you CTRL+Z later on? Wouldnt you have to reselect everything and go into extrude?

[@xZxOxVx]

Greetings, my UE became quite slow (I'm using 5.4), I got 12-15fps and 65-75 ms , is that normal? I really enjoy learning this but being so slow is annoying. Is there any way to fix it? My shadows are not as nice as yours, I have a lot of small black dots instead. My processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700F CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz Ram: 16GB Graphics card: AMD Radeon RX6600 Do I have to get a better graphics card or is there any other way to improve this (like internet speed or hard disk memory)? I have tried updating drivers but it's pretty same.

[@balajigopalin]

End of episode you extrude the phases of bigger pillars and see grid line for exact extrusion which is not showing in my US 5.4 Mac system. Especailly grid showing on floor.

[@juzzanimate7976]

the hexagon i created has too many subdivisions at rounded corners so bc of that i am not able to add the 8 loop cuts

[@MadoSuliman]

how can i change the limit of displayed edges because i can't access the polyed

[@TooCoolVids]

For some reason I don't have the grid pattern on my floor. For example, in the video he selects the faces on the ends of the big columns, insets, then drags out to one block on the grid before dragging down to create the columns sloping into the floor. But there is no grid visible for me to have a benchmark to know how far to drag out to. I just have to guess and hope the slope on both sides look the same.

[@tadakuniyasuda8214]

Does anyone have any advice when accidentally creating too many meshes while performing 'Insert Edge Loop' , breaking the whole thing, creating way too huge files? I was lucky that I did not save it, so I reloaded it start over. As far as I know the unreal does not allow you to 'undo' multiple times, so if you accidentally create too many verteces, faces, or edges by accident, you are screwed.... am i wrong?

[@Kranos_CG]

Any new updates for these in 5.4?

[@Lucaswhitehead74]

I'm really struggling with the inset I have all of the points selected but it only does it to a single point and not all of them but I am very new to all of this so it is probably something I'm doing incorrectly

[@refanferdian1065]

sir i have problem at 17:20 it says that my plygroup edit "is currently disallowed for operating on a group of topology" cause it has passed the limit of 60.000 displayed edges.. im not sure what i actually do before cuz i followed you with no miss. now i cant go to my playgroup edit again.. i try to ctrl+z but its not working.

[@leventeczutor8239]

@@badxstudio sure, I will. I just know that in other 3D programs it is a possibility, and I never modeled something twice that is repeated, like a column, a window, or something else. I just copied it.
