UE5 Scenebuilding Crashcourse: Part1

This short 3 part scenebuilding crashcourse is aimed at rapidly accelerating users to high level realtime visual production in UE5.
Part 1 is about getting started with Unreal Engine 5 // preparing for building scenes by collecting inspiration and free assets from various sources. For learning this process I recommend using Midjourney (www.midjourney.com/home) to generate a scene target for yourself. MJ runs via Discord (discord.com/) and uses a database of images via generative AI to create 2D images.
To engage with the process of scenebuilding I’ll provide a very brief intro to the essential functions of the engine (which can be installed via this link: www.unrealengine.com/en-US/do...) and recommend a variety of sources to acquire models including Quixel (which is built into the engine, but can also be access via their webpage: quixel.com/), The Epic Launcher/ Epic Marketplace (www.unrealengine.com/marketpl..., Sketchfab (sketchfab.com), and Kitbash 3D (kitbash3d.com/).

While this video series showcases the full process of a scenebuild, the intent is to help empower viewers to generate their own content with the tools, even moving beyond initial inspiration images. I highly recommend that you take ownership of your process rather than trying to replicate exactly what I or a generative ai produce.
