WHEN THE STUDENT IS READY THE MASTER SHOWS UP. I AM HERE. THIS IS AWESOME
Welcome to class!
Are you kidding me? Where have you been all these years 😭
Thank you so much!
🤣making videos ? You're welcome! Let me know what you think as you roll through the vids
By far the best Lessons for blueprints I’ve encountered so far. Most “Teachers” do everything so fast a don’t really explain a thing. Thank you so much
You're very welcome! Let me know as you go if you have questions so I can figure out where we are missing content
Teaching any subject requires talent. It is not just about how good you are at the subject or how long you have been working with that subject. There are geniuses in mathematics, programming, music, etc., but there are very few who can teach these subjects and explain them in a smooth technique and manner. You have made the incomprehensible into something clear and accessible. Thank you for the most wonderful explanation. In fact, there are not enough words to reward your effort.❤
Wow, thank you for such amazing feedback. It definitely helps knowing that people find this stuff helpful. Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel
this is the best tutorial for beginners ever. You should have more views and likes.
Glad you found the tutorial helpful and thanks for dropping comments.
Thank you so much for this. I personally appreciate the detail and slow pace of your tutorial. Other people just fly through this stuff without explaining half of what and why they are doing what they are doing. Awesome!
Glad it was helpful!
This should have been the first video I started with when I got into UE5!
I have been looking for this for 3 days! I watched tons of videos and not only they teach things very fast, they also skip a lot of things, so there was always a ''blackhole'' even after watching most of them. I cannot find a words how your way of teaching is so good! You can see you care about someone that will watch it later and I finally stopped having anxiety that even after watching a video I will be in the same place. With you, I can finally breath and I trust every step. At the same time it's slow I can catch up on anything, look up in Unreal and just slowly get to know it myself. This is like next level of teaching I never experienced before. That's insane. You deserve milions of subscribers.
I’m pretty humbled by your description of how helpful this is. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Definitely inspires me to keep going. Thanks for watching.
you are the best professor on internet.
The thought of "The professor" Definitely cracks me up. Appreciate you watching and the comment
This is so helpful, thank you! Even with some programming background, this helps me make the transition from pure code to visual format.
That's awesome that even with some XP you still find it helpful
The way you break down every single step with detailed but comprehensive explanations is excellent, this has helped me a ton.
Thank you.
no worries, glad it helped
@@livinfreestyle6727 It truly has, i think that the most common type of tutorial is the "do as i do method" where the person guide you through a step by step process that leads you to a final result but often i have no idea how and why i'm doing what i'm doing and it's impossible for me to replicate once i've shut down the video, unless i were to blindly memorize every step. Even then if anything goes wrong, i find myself not knowing how to resolve the issue because i have no ground to stand on. The approach you're employing is much more pedagogical and i really wish all tutorials were like this and not just thoughtless "Get good fast" videos or overly complicated ones with no explanations. You're truly helping us learn strong fundamentals, i can't stress how qualitative what you're doing is.
Thank you very much for your time man, loved how you explained things and the whole calming vibe you gave me 😁
You're welcome. Glad the style works for you and thanks for letting me know
Thank you for explaining this is a way that anyone can understand. I myself am a developer and find that so many professionals when running a tutorial quickly forget the fact that a lot of those in the class may have never seen this kind of programming.
You have achieved your goal of imparting knowledge sucessfully.
Well done sir.
Thanks for the comment and appreciate the seasoned developer vote of confidence!
Amazing teaching 🙌
Thanks for the watch and dropping the comment
Thank you very much! I just started to understand your teaching compared the other channels. The way you explain the lesson is obvious and I don't need to rewind back. Already subscribed! and really appreciated it! Your are truly teacher.
glad the style clicks for you and thx for the sub
I'm begining to study to become a tech artist and I have never done visual scripting before so thanks a lot !
You are welcome and have fun with the learnings on your way to Tech Art
I cant express how much I appreciate the thoughtfulness that went into your teaching style. Thank you for making this!
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching
After hours of searching i have finally found a good video about the topic, thank you!
You are welcome and of course, let me know what kinds of other stuff you are missing and looking to learn
Hello, just want to say that Your tutorials are best from everything i've watched related to UE so far! I've surfed dozens of youtube channels with hundreds and thousands of subs, yet no one comes even close to Your type of describing and guiding from basics to advanced. Thank You so much for that!
That is some pretty feel good kind of feedback! Thanks for taking the time to send it and for checking out the videos. If you think of things that can improve any of the videos specifically or in general, don't hesitate to let me know and welcome to the channel!
This guy is absolutely awesome!! Thank You !!
You're welcome! and thanks for the comment and watch
So far hands down the best Tutorial I have come across so far on this topic!
That's great to hear! Thanks for watching
It's been a year since this video came out, but the way you explained everything will make me finish the whole playlist for sure. Thanks for getting us acquainted with the Blueprints.
PS - Loved the pace!!!
Glad the video helped and the pacing was just your speed. These foundational videos will hopefully apply for a long time and as you go through the rest of the videos let me know know if there are other things you're interested in learning
Thank you for this. Extremely helpful.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching and dropping comments
Oh my god!! just found this and it's amazing man! Immediately subscribed
Welcome to the community!
I've just found this channel. This topic is something I've been meaning to learn for several years but kept putting it off, now I'm here and will stay till the end. Great so far
Welcome to the channel! Thanks for watching
By very far one of the best content about unreal visual scripting. God bless you! Cheers from Brazil.
Muito obrigado!
Another great work!!!! Weldone Professor!
again, thank you for watching
You explained it like it was a piece of cake! I was always lost in unreal engine, everyone online was teaching most of the 3D part of the engine easily, but the blueprints part was really hard to understand. The was you explained it made it so easy to understand. Most of the time experts explain things like they are explaining to someone of their level, they fail to explain it to the level of someone below them, but you did that perfectly! You are indeed a real example of a perfect teacher. And, i loved that background music playing through the whole lecture. Thanks a lot.
Great to hear that the style resonated with you. Thanks for the watch and dropping comments.
Just finished this video. Loving the videos so far. Cant wait to watch more. Very informative, good pace, even with someone as me with some experience can still run back the basics and learn new things I didnt even know. Thanks for the great work!
That's good news. If you find stuff that seems you're missing, just let me know
Wow, this tutorial series is an absolute gem! Your expertise as a developer shines through, and I'm beyond excited to dive into Unreal Engine 5 with your guidance. It's such a privilege to learn from a seasoned professional like you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and making the learning experience so enjoyable! 🚀🙌
no problem, and if you think of other topics or videos that would help your learning journey, let me know
Incredibly well thought out first tutorial, and a thoughtful delivery. Thank you. Personally, I really like the background music!
Thank you for the feedback! I have gotten better about audio levels as the channel has matured. THanks for the watch and dropping feedback
Thanks for making this tutorial! It was very helpful and I'm looking forward to the next ones in the series. This was perfect for me, as I have a fundamental knowledge of traditional coding in C, Python, etc. Using a visual blueprint seemed awkward and your video is a great introduction in making the transition. Great job!
Thanks for the feedback and so glad to hear it was helpful. Based on your background it sounds like the latest Blueprint Interface Meta Tutorial might also be a good one too: ua-cam.com/users/liveoTST9didni4?si=iO4o_Lh4QyLtwqfI&t=196
That link skips straight to where I actually turned the Mic on 😅
Thanks for watching and if there's other stuff you'd like to cover don't hesitate to chime in
Thank you, Kevin. This was a really cool class. I just started using Unreal like a week ago and have been hooked to blueprints and visual scripting. Your class is awesome. Truly. I can't wait to learn all that I can. Thanks again for these classes.
Tip: you don't need to copy and paste. You can just highlight what you want and press Ctrl + D and it will paste everything you have highlighted to where your mouse is located.
Thanks for the feedback and the TIP!!! I have used ctrl+D for stuff in content browser etc, but dont think I have never tried here.
This is by far the best and truly beginner friendly tutorial I've found! Thank you so very much for devoting the time and effort to teach. It's well appreciated. You are right, UE is very intimidating. I come from a Davinci Resolve/fusion editing background and I still find it hard to learn. THANKS AGAIN!
You are welcome. Thanks for the watch!
I don’t know what you but it’s the most clear video about blueprints I found so far and with the ease I’m understanding the concepts even though I already knew most of the things in this video I doubt I’ll find someone who’ll be able to explain blueprints any better! Thank you!
You're welcome. I'm glad you found the vid clear to follow. Thanks for the feedback
OMG don't know what to say.. you are just amazing.. thank you so much for create a very good tutorial!
Wow! Thank you. More coming, just finished the next class and I think that will be live Sunday
Thanks for this. What a great and informative video! Excellent.
Glad it was helpful!
This channel is so underrated. Great content with a great teacher. Thank you!
Thanks for letting me know and for watching!
thank you so much for this i was searching for a good tutorial about 2 days ago and i found this now
glad you found us. Thanks for watching
Thanks you so much, this is GOLD
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching !
I have to say, trying to find tutorials online that actually break this all down into easy to understand (not follow along) bite size chunks is hard. But you slowed it all down and explained everything you were doing. Thank you so, so much for your time. Very much appreciated. ❤
you're welcome. Glad it helped and thanks for dropping the comment and the watch!
And I just got to add to this, I’m not a commenter normally, but after doing this I felt compelled. Your understanding of how steep the learning curve is, and apply your teaching with that in mind is so, so helpful and appreciated. Many out there take for granted the knowledge needed and forget the foundation understanding of the skills and knowledge that you seem to focus on, and deliver at such a welcome pace so well.
There are many of us out there who really want to pursue these skills, but don’t have the background to make it easier. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much. You’ve no idea how welcome your classes are!
Sorry I’ll leave it there! ❤
Hearing the vids are helpful is awesome. So extra thank you for stepping outside your usual zone and taking the time to comment. I'm not some big personality that's entertaining to watch. I"m pretty dry, pretty monotonic, so comments like these help inspire me to keep going and know that this style does land well for some. If you find gaps or there are other vids that would be helpful, let me know by asking questions or dropping comments. That's how I figure out where to focus time (plus voting) as well as figure out if I missed something important in a video to help you all fill in the gaps.
Haha you may consider yourself “dry”. I would say calm. The pace is perfect, for my level anyway and the way I absorb info. I spent weeks trying to find tutorials that are at the pace and level of explanation I need. And I found it! I will of course as I work through your tutorials comment if I feel the need. Thanks so much again.
Im just starting on this series but I really appreciate this first class. I have experience In Unreal for Archviz so this was a good intro for someone coming from an 'artist' type of background!
That's great to hear. As we find more topics that fit into the fundamentals we'll be expanding this playlist. Thanks for taking time to throw down some feedback
you're a great teacher,man
Thank you. Im glad my style clicks for some and appreciate you watching!
Great class/topic.
I just ran into your channel as I was looking for a blueprint tutorial. I understand the concept of using blueprint, but not how the functionality brings it together.
I don't have any prior knowledge of scripting/coding and have been looking for a good-paced tutorial to explain things in and out, and I think I found one.
Thanks for the lesson, I'll be continuing through to the end of the course.
Thanks for the feedback. If there are any videos you feel like might help along the way, let me know and we can add those. Also don't forget to check out the "live" section for our weekly live tutorials
Amazing video!
thanks!
UR welcome glad you liked it!
this video popped up out of nowhere into my feed(and thanks the youtube algorithm) I can follow along this massively helpful tutorials. I hope you bring in a whole lot of scripting stuff in future videos.
glad this was helpful., there is a whole playlist for visual scripting. ua-cam.com/play/PL2A3wMhmbeAq3WOT7kQ0EGby1YMb0zj5_.html
If you have other topics or gaps that you would like me to cover just let me know
This was so much fun, very good lesson, i learned a lot.
That's great to hear and thanks for watching!
That intro spoke to my soul 🫡
That's a high bar for the rest of them!! :) Glad it clicked and thanks for watching
Am saying this with my ❤, i can't thank u in words. U really saving me a lot of money with this. The level of knowledge is way better then paid ones. Thank u. Especially Waiting for cinematics with ue. ❤❤
Hope you find the others helpful as well. Thanks for watching!
You are the best Sir
Thanks for checking out the videos
you are just amazing.. thank you so much for create a very good tutorial
glad you found it helpful. Thanks for dropping the comment!
I switched from Godot to Unreal and you are the man!
Its good to hear this is helpful for those transitioning too. Thanks for dropping the comment
@@livinfreestyle6727 Anytime, I just need to figure out how to save the UI size since it always resets. I have to change the widget in debug, but I think this may be a linux issue.
Awesome!
Glad you think so!
Excellent tutorial, very helpful and clear to understand - thank you for taking the time to create this. I have a question though. I am trying to follow it step-by-step and at min. 31:45, where you bring in a "Spawn Emitter at Location" node, I see you can choose between 2 assets - 3DparticleOpacity and TutorialParticleSystem - which I do not have. Any hints, please ?
Are you using the 3rd person template? If so, it's possible the contents of that can change over time/version (ie depending on unreal version). So perhaps make sure you have the starter content. If not, let me know and I can point you to an easy way to grab a particle
@@livinfreestyle6727 thanks, that worked just fine !
OMG THANK YOU!!!
You're welcome. TY for watching
When I see and hear this guy talk, I just know he is the one
Love the reference, but also its the first vid! Plenty of time to mess it up :) Thanks for the watch and the comment
@@livinfreestyle6727 I know what u mean, I also have a YT channel, its hard to create content. My goal is to create virtual productions and cinematics, I believe Unreal is the future of film making.
I have watched and bought courses on blueprints for unreal. This class is by far the best one i have seen. Thank you for your content!!!
So great to hear that. Always working to make it better so if you think of anything at all that would improve or address gaps, don't hesitate to let me know.
@@livinfreestyle6727I have a question, I’ve spent the last 2 years (2-6hrs/day) learning Blender, Zbrush, Sunstance, UE 5, Photoshop, etc and have utilized free and paid course (Vertex School, Outgang, 3D Tudor etc) learning digital art in my free time. What kind of position or skill could I focus on to get my foot in the door at a Studio?
I would ask, what do you want to do? You are competing against people who love, live and dream about being a game designer, animator, concept artist etc. They know what they want and that's what they are studying hard. One of the things I see a lot is people "aren't quite sure" what they want to do, so you're asking a studio "where do I fit" as opposed to "I want that job" I'd say it's a very rare and special case for the studio to do the work to find a place for you.
Now if you are asking what position is the most desirable/difficult to find and potentially best chance of getting in.....lts hard. I'd say creative roles on both tech and art side are highly sought after. For example, anytime someone says they want to be a concept artist at dreamworks....that's like a handful of positions and VERY competitive. So it depends on the studio, size of studio, and what you want to do I'm thinking.
@@livinfreestyle6727 I realize I still have years of practice to even have a chance. Character artist would be my main choice but I enjoy 3d art so much I wouldn’t mind doing environments or texturing. I currently work a full time job but spend 4-6hrs a day 7 days a week learning 3d. I enjoy so many aspects u guess I should focus on character art specifically. I’m afraid that I’m trying to learn everything and need to focus on what I love.
It can be fun learning everything though :)
Perhaps it is thanks to you that I will be able to fulfill my cherished dream - Thanks a lot! :)
Glad to help!
good stuff, thanks !
You're welcome. Thx for dropping feedback
The best teacher so far , everything is perfect and clear . Remember like and subscribe for him cuz we dont have much teacher like this !!!!
Thank you for the feedback AND helping spread the word :)
very good course for starters
glad it resonates. Thanks for watching.
Thanks a lot!!
You're welcome!
best tutorial
Thanks for letting me know and the watch
this is great stuff Kev .. ❤
Thanks so much and for watching!
Its not just nodes and scripting what makes unreal complicated. I have used node based apps like Controllermate, Davinci, Fusion. This is a great video. But lets not forget that Unreal as an application needs to apply some UX fundamentals to the current state of the app. There are so many functions that do not need so much user input on so many area's in the UI to do basic stuff. I am sure they are working on it and it's not easy converting a game engine to a app that is easy to understand. But Unreal would benefit a lot from having different 'rooms'. For example in Davinci you can switch from Media to Edit, to Fusion, to Color Grading to Render. All different 'rooms' which are parallel to the same timeline. Unreal has too many functions to understand and control from a single UI. Thanks again for the video's.
I think I have some ideas on how to add a "Class one applied" to help get us setup for some more step by step learnings that will help, but, yes Unreal is a beast of information. Thanks for watching!
First time I got to learn so much
great to hear! Thanks for watching
Can't believe this level of teaching is absolutely free😮. Thank u so much sir. U saved me. I have a question for u i.e., can we use UE for creating short film in a cinematic way and how good UE can be on this?
You can definitely make short films in unreal. If you search you can find a bunch of them, but for example:
ua-cam.com/video/Pf4TwsBggdY/v-deo.html
Thanks for watching the video!
thank you so much
You are welcome and thanks for watching! New video hopefully coming later today/tonight (editing now)
Hey mate, Found your class after trying a few other beginner tutorials on UE5. Demonstrated great at a good pace to keep up with. How long have you been working in visual scripting?
It’s sort of fuzzy. Specifically visual unreal scripting approx 10 years, but I had worked with node graphs for programs like shake and nuke and was also a software engineer in a previous life. Which is why I said fuzzy. Glad you found the pace matched your style.
So. (Chugs Gatorade) Welcome to class.
This totally made me laugh. Thanks for watching.
Can you explain how to use the Chaos Cache blueprint so that fractures can be properly timed in the sequencer please? Thanks.
I think we can circle back and do a tutorial on this in one of our upcoming vids. Thanks for the idea
@@livinfreestyle6727 Really appreciate it, need someone with your experience to figure it out. It seems as if when the simulation is cached, it's no longer affected by forces, especially when trying to record both chaos and Niagara fluids together. Looking forward to what you come up with.
Subscribed.
thx
You’re welcome
I have no emitter. My drop-down says No results check filter.
Can you provide more info? I don't believe we are making emitters in this tutorial?
I found the problem, you need to go to the Settings wheel in the upper right of the drop-down menu, and tick the box for "show engine content" under the content section.
@@sam5345 Thanks
Hello Kevin I'd be grateful if you could tell me which version of UE you are using, its a bit off putting when I try to follow you and the page doesn't look exactly the same. Thanks in advance
Generally we are using Unreal Engine 5.3 now with some 5.4. These older videos are probably plain 5.0. I will do a better job of remember to say which engine version I am using at the start. The other thing is that editor preferences will make a difference in how things look. Finally if there is something you need help with or clarify just drop a comment or hop on discord
@livinfreestyle6727 ok will do thanks
so is there a way to have cube or sphere to scale up gradually instead of it scaling up instantly after a delay.
a few ways 2 to try out. "FinterpTo" and a timeline. I'm actually thinking this might be a cool topic for an upcoming livestream
good video
Thanks
Hi, we should watch first this reproduction list or "tutorial and training"? Greetings from Argentina!!
Hola Argentina! It depends on your level and what you are working toward. You can check out tutorial and training and if there are things you would like to learn more of, let me know and we can make some new videos. If you have specific questions hop in the live stream and ask away.
Hi
I really need know about physics pushing and pulling system like a little nightmares
We can add that to the list of tutorial requests for sure
@@livinfreestyle6727 i'm waiting for 👍
I teach ue 5.4 , thx u!
Any time!
The difference between asking for hundred of dollars as UnrealSensei or Tom Looman vs teaching for the love of art.
Thx for the watch and taking time to drop comments!
Confused as to whether I should focus solely on BP or also learn some C++... So much stuff to learn already (I'm also learning graphic design + After Effects on my own as a plan B, cuz game dev is hella difficulty especially solo and in your mid 30's) :(
The dude that created Bright Memory: Infinity only used BP and his game looks amazing and performs so great!
THere are actually many examples of BP only games out there. I believe Enenera is another one and looks awesome. This video is a great breakdown of C++ vs BP. ua-cam.com/video/VMZftEVDuCE/v-deo.html
My vote would be what is fastest. So if you know C++, you can use it, but if BP is faster then get your experience stood up and iterate from there. If you get your ENTIRE game built in blueprint and at the very end realize you need to hire a C++ or learn c++ for some performance reasons, that will be amazing! My bet is you are just going to naturally learn what you need along the way and always rememberr KISS (Keep it simple silly)
Is there a version of this without background music
There is not, but have been taking audio feedback all along and at least for the pre-recorded I think we've gotten better levels now. The live streams have been a little more up and down
Thank you so much, it is an amazing tutorial, however the music in the background disturbs a bit the focus and concentration, i could not follow you without being distractred.
THis has been noted and I've been taking audio feedback all along and at least for the pre-recorded I think we've gotten better levels now. The live streams have been a little more up and down, but working on it
@@livinfreestyle6727 thank you very much for you dedication !
the music is boring and distracting.
This was early on, has been noted and is constantly getting better
Everyone has the same tutorial which is somewhat overwhelming. I would a tutorial that shows you how to make a simple game from start to finish. these are you assets step 1... step 2 bring in your ground assets... step 3 character, step 4 animation or cut scene etc etc sigh.
I could use some help with clarity here. Are you saying you would like a tutorial that shows a simple game start to finish or that is what all the tutorials are and you're looking for other stuff?
@@livinfreestyle6727 I'm saying Yes I would like a tutorial on how to make a game be it simple or otherwise. Not everyone can pick up on learning from these tutorials (like me lol) So example I'm a video editor is i was to make a tutorial I would 1st show persons what video their learning to make with intro transitions etc then go into the software & get started & explain what the keys are for when I use them. I opened unreal engine & from veiwpoint to this & that like wow. Hope you got some clarity & thanks for replying.
@@livinfreestyle6727 I want to make a Ludo Dice game, a Chess game where I could add cut scenes & a card building deck game with rpg elements. I don't see NO!!! Tutorials on these kind of games. Do you have any I have sum nice ideas that I would like to bring to life & as I can't afford to hire people I have to try & build it myself. Thanks for the help.
OK, this is super helpful. Let me think about ways we can do this. It might actually be a fun challenge. "Make a game in an hour" see how far we can get :)
IM going to think about both these and see how we can do something cool around this
Music during a tutorial? NO.
over time I have been getting better about audio levels and there are some that do like it. I get it, it's not for everyone though
thanku brother
You're welcome!
Thanks so much, Kevin! I picked up UE5 as a hobby and while I have a background in programming, I found the switch to a more visual medium with blueprints to be a bit overwhelming. You're a very empathetic teacher and your excitement for the subject was infectious; I'm looking forward to following all your videos. Thank you!
Glad I could help, I think you will find the visual version of stuff quite fun and relaxing :) Thanks for watching and taking time to drop feedback!
