Unreal Engine 3 Video Tutorials


videos.jpg

Often there's no better way to learn a tool than to watch it being used. So, our developers put together a series of video recordings on how to use different UE3 toolsets and typical workflows.

Accessing the Videos


Each of the links below points to a tutorial, grouped by topic or specific feature.

The video tutorials are linked to a media repository from this page. Simply right-click and save the video to your local hard drive. Even though they are compressed, some of the files are quite large, so to reduce bandwidth consumption, we'd appreciate you having one person download all the videos and store them in a directory that's accessible to the whole team.

NOTE: These video tutorials were made using the Unreal Development Kit. For more information on UDK, go here.

Please right-click and save each file to your local storage space.

Engine Tutorials


The file format is Windows Media Video (.wmv). No other codecs are required.

Skeletal Mesh Pipeline - Using UDK

Jeremy Ernst, Technical Animator at Epic Games, takes you through the Unreal Engine Skeletal Mesh pipeline. From getting your model from your 3D package into the editor, and getting it ready for your programmers, you will learn the steps to make your assets ready for your game.

Each compressed archive contains one video:

Video Training Modules

Often there's no better way to learn a tool than to watch it being used. With every Unreal Engine license, we provide an on-site training session for content developers, but it's not always feasible or possible for your entire team to attend. And of course, we're always adding new features to the engine, and we might add a tool after visiting your team.

So, we've made a series of video recordings of our training team using our toolset. We used a video capture tool that provides excellent resolution, so you can actually read the text on the editor windows, etc.

Accessing the Videos

Each of the links below leads to page of related training modules. For example, the VTMCascade page contains both a basic training module and a module that covers more advanced features.

The video training modules (VTMs) are attached to the bottom of these pages. Simply right-click and save the video to your local hard drive. Some of the modules are quite large, so to reduce bandwidth consumption, we'd appreciate you having one person download all the videos and store them in a directory that's accessible to the whole team.

For the development of these videos, we use an off-the-shelf tool called Camtasia Studio. To view the videos, you'll have to install their TechSmith Screen Capture Codec (TSCC). We've only tested this on Windows XP Pro with Windows Media Player (versions 9, 10 and 11). If you have any difficulties viewing these videos, please let us know.

Training Topics

Note, VTMs are were made in 2005. The techniques and concepts shown are still the same, though the tools workflow and visuals might differ.

  • VtmEditor - UnrealEd features such as BSP, static mesh placement, lighting, level optimization
