73%, yeah…

I’m crawling through the Survival tutorial which I will be finishing regardless of it’s poor quality.
Some great stuff in there, but I wish the teacher would get his priorities sorted.
For example, we are taught how to change the shadow colors – who the hell cares, seriously! – but not a word about creating water.
I guess water is simply a BSP with water texture, but anyway it’s so basic, how can he not say a word about it?
He covers an incredible number of useless options – the post-processing volume alone has like 200 options or so – but at this point I would be totally unable to create basic levels from scratch.

So, I started making a word processing document where I take note of everything I see which might be useful in the future, because remembering everything is downright impossible.

I can only wish the next course – which is in C++ and consists of 600 videos or so… – is better structured.
It’s ok, I’m making my way through, but boy! so much time wasted, I wish I had a ‘to the point’ course instead of that horrible mess.

The maps I’m creating at the moment are gorgeous though, I’ll be publishing some screenshots when I have something worth showing because everything looks photorealistic, UE4 is pretty much movie quality, it’s stunning.
