Learn to Build an Outdoor Environment with Unreal Engine 4 (Udemy.com)

Pas adapté pour débutant. Manque d'explications dès le début. Par exemple, il n'explique pas qu'il faut mettre les documents téléchargés dans le dossier content et la méthode qu'il montre pour importer le plan ne fonctionne pas avec les documents fournis. J'ai fini par trouver, mais en tatonant. Pour réaliser le sol, il montre rapidement comment il fait, et encore en laissant ses propres hésitations, sans expliquer pourquoi. On peut donc reproduire ce qu'il fait à condition de mettre la vidéo sur pause toutes les quelques secondes, sans comprendre le pourquoi. Manque d'explications et de pédagogie.

I do not think it is for beginners. Fast speech, useful mouse moves and clicks distracting attention, most of actions not explained and not understandable. Hope next time I will learn more from it. UPDATE: After seeing a half of the course I must correct my first meaning and tell that this course is very useful for me. I did not manage to get all the shown things and techniques, only cca 70%, but it is more than anough for me. Satisfied.

Pros: + Good insight into the foliage system and how it works. + Vertex painting terrain with materials. + Post effects overview. + Nice portfolio piece. Cons: - Biggest issue is how much of this needs to be updated to a current version of UE4. - No implementation or use of the landscape tool in what would have been a great project to learn to use it for. - Out dated tool instructions e.g the vertex painting doesn't work the same as it did I only worked it out from other peoples Q & A queries. - Assets used are poorly optimized and cause multiple crashes throughout importation. (I would recommend finding some other tree assets). - Some videos have a lot of dead air in when the teacher is deciding what to do, also some videos extends into a another with no announcement it is going to do so. - Poorly Edited videos. - Subtitles are trash for this. - No aftercare in q & a from the teacher. I'd say grab it if your interested in making something like whats presented but dont expect to be making large scale environments or landscapes once your finished.

Very much enjoyed starting from nothing and experiencing the steps in creating a visually inspiring image. My apprehension about what I could do has been reduced to only my imagination and not the abilities of the tools. Practice, practice and a little more practice, will result in impressive results. Thank you for opening my eyes, breaking down the barriers and introducing me to a new world of opportunity.

Проехался по всем фичам. Особенно понравился вертекс пеинт. Настройки для рисования кисти - это волшебство. Складывалось впечатление, что это я рисую в анриале). Большое спасибо! Некоторые вопросы не совсем понятны для новичка, так как темп художника. Иногда не успеваешь воспринять, какой инструмент используется, это моя проблема не знания инструментария. Я в любой момент могу повторить сделанное, или иногда отмотать и посмотреть снова, что не понял. Курс отличный, спасибо еще раз.

This was a frustrating course! It felt like a recorded stream of consciousness, rather than a structured course and while this would work well for youtube or twitch, for paid content it is incredibly frustrating! If I am paying for a course and the tutor makes a mistake ( or in this case many mistakes), rather than fumbling for five mins trying to make it right, they should stop recording, figure it out and re-record. The tutor is obviously very good in his field, but unfortunately this tutorial does not play to his strengths, the tutorial is full of incomplete and out of date information, particularly with regards materials and particle effects. He also often mentions optimising scenes for game levels as opposed to these portfolio shots, but no information is given on how we would even start doing that. The only useful part was the lighting and post effects, though the photoshop work is unnecessary imo, these titbits could have been condensed into a 15min vid. The tutor also seems to have disappeared and it's very disheartening to see all the Q&A questions unanswered unless responded to by a helpful student. Oh and also to add, the bonus content section is just a single page advert asking you to sign up for more courses.......

The 3 stars isnt a reflection of the teacher, he is knowledgeable and I thought his teaching style was excellent. The content is out of date though. It was done on an older version of Unreal, enough has changed to make you use google to fill in th blanks. The QA section has no engagement from the teacher or 3dmotive either, but to be fair I notice this a lot with 3d motive courses so again it probably isnt the teachers fault. I do think this tutorial still has some value, with a bit of googling here and there you can create a scene just like in the promo and learn some tips and tricks that arent covered in other Unreal courses. If you only have to buy one Unreal course though, Epic games have their own on here which is more up to date.

I'm not sure why this course is so poorly reviewed. I think there are two main issues most of the reviewers seem to have - instructor moving too fast and instructor not explaining enough. This course may move a little fast for a beginner but there's a pause button for a reason. Udemy has also conveniently included "rewind 15 seconds" and "slow down" controls to their video player so this shouldn't be an issue. As for how thoroughly everything is explained, I don't know where the instructor could've explained more thoroughly. Everything the instructor did was explained pretty well. He may have used terms that a (completely new) beginner might not yet know, but he still explained everything pretty well. Even for courses I thought were great I still found reason to take a star off. This is easily the best course I've ever taken online. Definitely worth. I would buy this course at full price.

If you are beginner you wont understand a word. Lecturer uses professional language and doing everything fast. Starting from the first minute you will have more questions than answers. You will basically watch a guy do his thing and talk along the way. You will have no idea why and what he is doing. But to the end of the tutorial you will learn some pretty awesome tricks.

My issues are as follows: First, some of the instruction is so "hodge-podge", meaning instructor does an activity, then amends it, then goes back and amends again. Would be more useful if he wasn't figuring it out as he goes, but instead follows a set plan that gets the final product he is after. All of the iterations (that weren't explained as to "why" they were done) could be edited out to reduce noob confusion. Secondly, the videos are very fast-paced for someone with limited UE environment building experience. Thirdly, it would be nice to know some of the "whys" and "hows" of the decisions made, or at least references to some supporting literature on materials in UE4, even if it is referring to another Udemy video. I'd like to know how you figured all of this out, not just blindly follow instructions. That's not learning. It seems that the course has been abandoned instead of updated to account for version changes. That seems to happen a lot in Udemy, but I guess you get what you pay for sometimes. I'm sure this could be a fantastic, five star course if a little more attention to detail was paid. As it is, I am really enjoying it. I'll happily post another final review of the course when I am finished.
