Editor's Notes
- We’re a small team dedicated to serving the needs of educators, schools and students. I’m going to start things off today talking to you about the resources available to you from Epic Games. Then, Luis will come uip and dive into some of those resources in detail and talk about essential 3rd party resources available to you
- Industries are flocking to real-time. Unreal Engine 4 in particular. Games, Film and non gaming fields like visualization, engineering and research are finding that adopting a real-time, interactive “game engine” is changing how they create, study and develop
- Hundreds of studios are using UE4 to create games From small indie teams to massive, AAA studios, UE4 is becoming the standard for game development.
- Epic Games also makes games using Unreal Engine 4!

- Digital humans are rapidly moving out of the uncanny valley and doing it in real-time 3-Lateral’s Siren demo uses live motion and performance capture to drive this amazingly realistic digital human in real-time

- Science and research as well. NEXT IS THE VIDEO Why? What’s UE4 got to offer?
- Research and training
- There’s huge demand for individuals that can think in real-time and have an intimate knowledge of the tools and technologies that enable it. Technical knowledge is becoming more and more essential as the tools become more and more complex. Strong technical leadership is essential in real-time We need people teaching UE4 so there’s great UE4 graduates
- I could go on. Seriously. There’s a lot of tools. It’s not so much a toolbox, but more like a home depot It’s got everything you need to build a tree house or a deck, but it can be intimidating to know where to start
- We work tirelessly to develop content and learning material across a wide range of channels. Each learner learns differently, so we try to provide info in every format we can What we don’t cover, we have an active and passionate community that has developed a treasure trove of knowledge that fills in most of the gaps
- Documentation is, of course your best bet when you’re first starting out. Comprehensive documentation of the Editor We’ve done a lot of work recently to improve our documentation. Better look and better access to relevant learning resources. Getting started Engine Features Samples and Tutorials
- First place to go is Getting Started https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-us/GettingStarted Collection of basic overviews and tutorials I suggest first learning the Terminology, Then explore the Tools and Editors If you’re already using Unity or another game engine, the Unreal Engine 4 for Unity Developers section is a great help Once you have a grasp on some of the engine concepts, the Quick Starts are excellent ways to jump right into the tools and make something happen Also has links to video tutorials and other resources that compliment the documentation
- For those that prefer video-based learning we have a lot of great content in several formats. Organized into playlists All our video content is mirrored on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/user/UnrealDevelopmentKit/playlists Relevant videos are linked from the documentation!
- The deep learning series has a collection of long-form video tutorials that cover using UE4 in a production environment. Developed and Taught by Epic Games There are both beginner videos, intended for those just sarting out learning UE4 and technical deep dives that cover subjects like pipelines and programming plugins.
- The wiki is maintained by Epic games but has content from both us and the community Anybody with an Epic ID can create and edit the content on the wiki. It’s a great palce to put tutorials and other information to share with the community.
- Troubleshooting guides are a great place to go when you get stuck. They cover common gotchas and design patterns in UE4 Even I use it when I encounter a problem that I can’t quite figure out
