This step-by-step Unreal Engine 4 tutorial for beginners will show you how to get started for the first time. Now obviously I can't cover everything in an hour long video. It would take hundreds of hours to cover all that UE4 has to offer. But, if you've just downloaded the engine and you've yet to open it, then this video will teach you how to navigate around the user interface, some short cuts to make your life easier, and some tips and tricks to get you over the tough hurdles that a lot of beginner's run into.

I'll first be showing you how to create your first UE4 project using Unreal Engine 4.25. Epic provides a number of templates for you to get started.
We'll then spend some time going over the Marketplace and why it's VERY important for you to familiarize yourself with what's available to you for FREE from day 1. There are a lot of awesome assets that you can use in your games. By learning how to use the Marketplace, you'll be setting yourself up for success early on. This is why we start with this lesson first.
After that, we'll learn some basics about levels and how to navigate them. You'll learn how to move, rotate, and scale objects. You'll learn how to add new objects into your levels. You'll learn how to create landscapes and set up some basic lighting for your outdoor worlds.
We'll then take a look at the most common classes that nearly all of your games will have. Character, game modes, pawns, actors and more. The more familiar you are with the classes that are present in the engine, the easier it will be fore you to find enjoyment early on.
And that's what this Unreal Engine 4 beginner's guide is all about: helping you to not feel overwhelmed by how much power is at your finger tips. The sooner you can learn to navigate around the interface, the sooner you'll be able to start making your dream game.
I recommend you follow along as I go through the video and pause it when needed.
