Unreal Engine 5: Tổng hợp chuyên sâu về Blueprint trong UE5

01. we start from very basic stuff like:

1. Downloading and installing unreal engine 5

2. Create different kind of project

3. Moving around the scene

4. Change objects position in different ways

5. Change scale and rotation

6. About world space and local spaces

7. Use snapping to make our life easier

8. Camera speed and different kind of views

9. About outliner, detail panel and content drawer

02. Next, we start with what is static mesh and importing different kind of them into unreal engine from different sources

And we talk about different problem that can happen when you import something

We talk about this kind of 3d objects:

1. import 3d models that have material but no texture attached

2. import 3d model that doesn’t have textures

3. import 3d model that has multiple part and multiple material

4. quixel 3d models and materials

03. next we start with first part of material section of this course

in this section we learn all the basic stuff of material in unreal engine that you should know to be able to import different kind of 3d model into unreal engine

this is basic section for material so we learn this basic stuff about them:

1. Create our first material

2. What is base color

3. metallic roughness and specular in materials

4. what is emissive color and how we can use them properly

5. how to use textures in materials

6. and at the end of this very basic section ill give you some exercise

04. Next, we start with Game mode

First what is game mode and why we need them in unreal engine 5

Next, we check some game modes like vehicle and first-person game mode

After that we start creating our own game mode as third person game mode

05. In next section we talk about how we can create playable character

We will talk about:

1. what is character class

2. how our character can move

3. how it can jump

4. how it can look up and down

5. how it can have cameras to be like first person or third person

6. how we can use spring arm properly

06. next we talk about the animations

for this section again we start from very basic stuff to more advanced stuff and because this section is much more important, I divided in to two sections so you will learn them as deep as possible in right time

1. we start with animation sequence, what it is and how we can use it

2. we learn about playing animation where ever we want

3. next we learn about animation blueprint, what it is and why it is very important to use it

4. we learn about state machines

5. how our character can walk jump run for basic movement

6. how we can use cached animations

7. what is blend space 1D and 2D and how we can use them

8. and at the end ill give you some exercise so you will learn this basic part better

07. in next section we will talk about BLUEPRINT and what you should know about them as starter

1. how blueprint works

2. how you can find what is in your mind in blueprint to do what you want to do

3. we talk about camera filed of view as an example to see how we can find stuff in blueprint

08. now that we know more about blueprint, we go back to animation again and we learn about:

1. turn right and turn left animation

2. aim offset

3. how we can have both turns and Aim offset together

4. animate spring arm

5. what are animation montages and how we can use them

6. what is layering animation with layered blend per bone and how we can use them

7. at the end we always go back to animation blueprint as we learn new things

09. next as a challenge and an exercise with the knowledge that we learn till here we create laser beam like laser beam of resident evil 4

10. in next section we start with user interface

As a basic UI for our game we start with widget blueprint basic stuff

1. how we can create widget blueprint

2. what is an slot and why we should use them

3. what is graphics options

4. what is render transform

5. we talk about texts in separate video

11. in next section we use what ever we learned from last section to create our own crosshair

We won’t stop there and we populate some functionality for our crosshair like spreading when we shoot our gun or jumping

12. at this point epic game release its unreal engine 5.1 and we learn how we can update our game and engine to latest version that is 5.1 at the time

13.after that we go back to crosshair and user interface section again to add more functionality to our game like Crosshair Spread with walking and running jumping and shooting the gun and crosshair be Accurate when aiming, and for doing all of these we learn about some new nodes that are important to know like:

1. how interp to work and how we can use them

2. how to use timers with event and functions

3. how to use line trace

4. what is yaw and pitch and roll and how we can calculate them

5. dynamic yaw and pitch offset calculation

14. next we should learn about audio in unreal engine

1. First, we find some audio from internet

2. We learn how to extract and convert audios that we find from internet

3. We use animation sequence to play sound when foot touch the ground

4. We learn how to use anim notifier

17. now it is time to learn more about materials, learn more advanced stuff and during course we add to our material knowledge as well because some section we should learn it by practical example

So that’s why I’m saying animation section will never end and we will add to it when you learn enough about other things

Material as well we will learn more with practical examples during course
