Planning

Hi, the system used for recording is:
AMD Threadripper 1950x, 64GB DDR 3000, Nvidia GTX 1080TI, project installed on an m.2 nVME drive.

This is 3 year old hardware now so you should be able to find it for quite reasonable prices. Also expect things to get even cheaper with the release of RTX 3070 and Ryzen 5000.

No worries at all Support Team! Thanks for following up. Much appreciated. Take care.

Hey Graeme, sorry about that, Joe mentioned, but you must have landed on the page as we were updating the site! Let us know if you run into any other issues, or feel free to hit us directly up on our support channel at [email protected]

Hi Joe

Yes. Seems to be working like before. Must have been a glitch. Thanks!

Hi, I know that this video was being updated recently. Is this issue still occuring? could you try to log out and log back in again.
Cheers,
Joe

Appreciated Graeme. I recommend going to the learn squared discord Unreal Engine section probably the fastest way to a response from myself/learnsquared.

Hi Joe,

Really appreciate the reply. I know you're probably pulled in many directions these days but I know from experience that people tend to get upset/frustrated when they purchase something and can't move forward with parts of the training/tutorial until "someone" answers (whether it be fellow artists or the content creator themselves). I would imagine Learned Squared could help you out by adding a point person to monitor and answer some of the simpler questions so it's not on you to answer and take up your time. For more deeper questions, maybe that's when you sort of get involved to resolve. Anyway, like I said the course is really good and as a newbie, learning so much from your course (rewinding many, many times!!! LOL). Thank you for putting this together for us. I'm just trying to help. Take care and keep safe.

Hi Graeme,
I'm trying to check the comments section every few days. Sorry if it takes me some time to get to you.
Cheers,
Joe

oh oh...now I'm locked out of my course! Coincidence...

Thanks for the reply! I think not everyone knows about the Discord server and have seen questions about accessing it, but no response. Maybe it might help to convey that a little more clearly so the comments area isn't flooded with technical questions. You can see all of the questions that are unanswered but don't see this type of message replying to them. So it might be best to let everyone know how to get answers resolved. At the moment, I've been figuring out most of my issues with some google searches but I'm sure I'll have more questions that is specific to the workflow Joe goes through. I'll use the Discord server for any issues I may have. Thank you for responding! Cheers.

Hey Graeme, we do our best to reply to comments here but prioritize support requests sent to our help desk which is [email protected]

What do you need help with? For any technical support, we recommend heading to our Discord server to chat with other students to get the quickest response possible as we're not able to offer technical support here. To join the Discord, head over to your profile settings and hit Connect Discord to join the server.

I feel for you and others that are looking for answers. I provided feedback to them about this and hope they can improve in helping their customers in a better way. (at the bottom, under support, there is a feedback link). I hope it helps everyone. I do think it's a good course so far though and lots of learning to do!

I am new too. I came from Blender and I needed this course. I am afraid if I wanted my money back I wouldn´t have an answer from them. Right now, I feel I lost 165$

Sorry to hear that Mario. I'm pretty new to UE4 and need that kind of support. Especially going through some of the tutorials. So many questions but trying to figure out most of them instead of asking simple/basic questions. However, when it comes some important features of the tutorial, one would get really frustrated and disappointed without the help they are looking for. I know Udemy has great responses from the creators. I bet people will think twice about purchasing another tutorial from them. Too bad, really. It's also not $15 dollars (referring to some good Udemy courses I've purchased)

I emailed them complaining about the lack of help but I did not receive any response. It is impossible to learn something if you have a problem a nobody helps you. In mi case, I am very disappointed because it is complicated to find UE4 courses.

Thanks Joe. I really appreciate your message and explanation. I was frustrated because I couldn't keep making progress. I will contact you on discord soon to tell you all the question I have.

Hey, is the folder where your UE4 project is installed read only? Make sure that it's writeable by right clicking and going to the properties.
If you want to contact me on discord I might be able to help you trouble shoot the issue.

Sorry it took me a while to reply!

I think this course is more towards the artistic type. If you want to learn more about UE4 materials, check this: https://learn.unrealengine.com/course/2842589

Hi Magnus,
Creating a course like this without something like Brushify wouldn't be possible. You'd literally have to program a complete shader infrastructure from scratch. This is not a programming course, but a course that focuses on Environment Creation.
Brushify is also included in the Lesson files, so everything you need to create similar UE4 scenes to mine is right there. Of course students can choose to buy additional assets depending on the project they decide to undertake. They also don't necessarily have to be Brushify assets, that's why I created sections that walk students through what to look for when buying assets.
Cheers,
Joe

I recommend checking your action mapping settings in Project Settings:

However by default they should already be setup to work with WASD. Is this issue happening when you create a brand new UE4 project? or is this just in the lesson files project?
