Transitioning from Legacy Production to Unreal Engine
100.01-Introduction to Unreal Engine
Learn how to set up Blueprints to act as templates for all other Blueprints in the project. This parent/child setup has many advantages and is key when working on large projects. The course demonstrates the concepts and techniques by walking through the complete process of creating a modular light switch.
At the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Set up a project for scalability to your target platform
- Create a parent Blueprint with specific properties that can be inherited and used in child Blueprints
- Set up a Blueprint Interface system to send/receive information and function calls between Blueprints
- Use Action and Axis mappings to allow for device specific controls
- Possess and control pawn Actors with a Player Controller
- Utilize the Line Trace functions for general purposes
- Create a Blueprint communication system through multiple Blueprint Interfaces

Blueprint - Introduction
Transitioning from Legacy Production to Unreal Engine
Introduction to Unreal Engine
Learn how to use Blueprint to create production-ready tools. Make your pipeline easier by adding your own tools to the Editor.
At the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Extend functionality with utility actions
- Extend the Editor with utility widgets
- Build a texture creator with a render target
- Build a simple camera switcher with construction scripts
Recommended Prerequisites:
Creating User Interfaces with UMG and Blueprints
Learn how to use Editor Utility Widgets to create custom tools within the editor and to automate tasks. We will create a bunch of simple but useful tools that will help you layout elements in a scene, organise your project and quickly navigate the engine. In this course we will be using Blueprint scripting.
At the end of this course, you will have a new procedural and dynamic Editor Utility Widget which can select meshes. Bonus content, time permitting, will show you how to manipulate the editor viewport to focus the camera on your selection. The objective is not necessarily to learn how to create a specific tool, but to think about how to create useful tools for your own projects.
