What you'll learn
In this series of tutorials we'll learn the very basics of working in Unreal Engine 4 by going through the basics step by step. We'll start out by learning how to create and open projects. Then we'll discuss the UI and break it down to make it easier to understand. After that we'll start working in the editor by learning how to navigate the viewports, place objects in the level, and manipulate those objects. From there we'll break out into some of the other commonly used editors like the Materials editor, blueprint editor and matinee editor. After we've laid a solid foundation, we'll jump into a quick project to solidify what we have learned. Software required: Unreal Engine 4.2.
