Begin your journey with UE5,

Being completely new to UE5, you need to learn the fundamentals - the essentials of the engine.

Here is the best way to learn UE5 as a complete beginner:

  • First: focus on the essentials of the engine, such as editor's interface, viewport navigation, using different viewport modes, project management, using the Content Browser, working with objects in the editor and creating very simple levels using Starter Content.
  • Second: you need to learn how environments are constructed in UE5 and how to use existing assets in UE5 to create your own environments. This includes using Static Meshes (3d models) and how to work with Materials/Textures.
  • Third: learn the Modeling Mode to create your own custom Static Meshes (3d models) to use, right inside the editor.
  • Fourth: learn essentials of lighting and how to light exteriors and interiors with UE5.
  • Fifth: learn how to use atmospheric effects such as fog, sky atmosphere, using particles, adding audio and how to use Post Process Volume to control visuals of your environment.

Once you are able to create your own environment following these steps, you will be in a strong position to take UE5 in any direction you want such as Landscapes, Blueprints, Custom Asset Creation, game development or many others.

Do not waste time trying to "mess around with UE5 and figure out how to use it" on your own.

I will teach you Unreal Engine 5 as a complete beginner with zero knowledge of the engine and without any prior experience. I will guide you through these 5 steps of learning UE5 in this "UE5 Fundamentals Vol.1" tutorial course.

The course contains 3 modules, 40 videos and 11+ hours of tutorials:

  • Module 1: you will learn the essentials of the engine, such as editor's interface, viewport navigation, using different viewport modes, project management, using the Content Browser, working with objects in the editor and creating very simple levels using Starter Content. (This is Step 1.)
  • Module 2: you will learn how environments are constructed in UE5 and how to use existing assets in UE5 to create your own environments. This includes using Static Meshes (3d models) and how to work with Materials/Textures. We also extensively cover the Modeling Mode so you can begin creating your own custom Static Meshes (3d models) to use right inside the editor. (These are Steps 2 and 3.)
  • Module 3: you will learn the essentials of lighting and how to light exteriors and interiors with UE5. We cover all different light types and how to use them correctly. You will also learn how to use atmospheric effects such as fog, sky atmosphere, using particles, adding audio and how to use Post Process Volume to control visuals of your environment. (These are Steps 2 and 3.)
