In this lesson, you'll learn the basics of Unreal and begin crafting your environment idea. You'll find references, build a library of assets, and assemble those assets together into one convenient staging area. By the end of this lesson, you'll have all the tools you need to start building your own environment.

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.

Is there an issue with Lesson 2 World Creation? I'm now locked out of it and it's asking me to log in??? I'm already logged in but when I go to my course/dashboard and click on it, it has a LOCKED image. I sent support an email. Is anyone else experiencing that?

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

Is this area for questions to be answered or not? See a lot of questions without any answers (that would seem pretty straight-forward) but am assuming Joe or someone from Learned Squared are supposed to help address. Anyone?
Joe Garth 2 years ago instructor
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.

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.

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)
Mario Ramirez Galan 2 years ago
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.

When I try to save my work UE says this: You do not have sufficient permission to save the following content to disk. Any changes you make to this content will only apply during the current editor session.
/Game/Maps/Asset_zoo/asset_zoo
Can anyone help me?
Thanks

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.
Joe Garth 2 years ago instructor
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.

This entire course is just a ¤#%#! ad for Brushify! Losing a lot of respect for you LearnSquared, this is a far far stretch from the courses with Ash in the beginning. VERY awkward.

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
Joe Garth 2 years ago instructor
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

For some reason I can only use the arrow keys in the viewport. (not WASD)
I can only use the WASD keys in the 'play' mode. Anyone had this as well? I am using 4-24 to be sure its a stable version.
Joe Garth 2 years ago instructor
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?
