Creating a Low Poly FPS Game From Scratch - Using Blender and Unreal Engine 4

Have you ever wondered how first person shooter games are made, or perhaps even if you could make one yourself? This course goes through the entire process of creating a low poly style FPS game from start to finish, thoroughly explaining every step along the way. No prior game development experience is needed in order to follow along, and the software used are available online for free.

You will learn how to create 3D models and setting up advanced first person rigs in Blender, as well as creating animations and exporting them to Unreal Engine 4. You will also learn how to design a basic level and implement different game mechanics such as shooting, reloading, player movement, and much more! 

All source files for the finished project are included, so if you ever get stuck you can simply have a look at the final results to see how they were made.

This Is What You Will Learn

Using Blender 2.8

• Creating 3D models based on the included reference images (arms, gun, bullet, target, and muzzle flash)
• UV mapping the models and creating textures for them
• Setting up a custom FPS rig with advanced controllers, and skinning the arms and gun model to it
• Creating a walk, idle, fire, and reload animation
• Exporting the models and animations from Blender as FBX files

Using Unreal Engine 4

• Importing the files and creating an organized folder structure
• Creating particle effects and a head-up display (HUD)
• Setting up a blueprint base for the player character
• Implementing game mechanics such as shooting, reloading, and player movement
• Adding a score system and interacting with the targets ("enemies")
• Creating a menu system and building the final game

And more!
