Unreal Game Development For Beginners

Import static meshes, organize with the world outliner, merge actors, adjust transforms and collision, and design materials in the editor using textures, normals, roughness, and metallic values.

Create a procedural racecourse in Unreal Engine by building a blueprint that generates a spline-based track, placing static meshes along points, with adjustable start and end indices and collision.

Create a custom vehicle in Unreal Engine using a skeletal mesh, physics assets, and wheel colliders. Configure a vehicle blueprint, animation blueprint, and input mappings for throttle and steering.

This lecture refines race timer functionality in Unreal Engine, updating lap times only when the car moves forward using velocity dot product, and adds a finish line decal with tiling.

Implement a respawn orientation function in the vehicle blueprint that resets rotation on the z axis via a button press, using teleport physics to keep upright.

Explore lighting and post-processing in Unreal Engine, adjusting directional light, skylight, and volumetric fog, and mastering post-process volumes and production lighting settings for a polished game look.
