UMG Basics (How To Create UI) - [UE4 Basics Ep. 5]

Hello guys welcome back to another video in the Unreal Engine 4 Complete Begginers Guide. In this video we will focus on UMG or Unreal Motion Graphics. UMG is Unreal Engine's user interface system that allows you to create user interface for your game. You can create a wide variety of UI, all with blueprint!

You are one of the few unreal tutors who actually does the stuff we care about, and I want to make a suggestion, it'd be great if you could make tutorials on make a full video game that includes level designing, UI, character creation and several elements that make a game. I'm sure it's not above your skill cause I've seen a few of your videos and they are very good. Hope you take this into consideration

Thank you for this very nice intro to the widget system.

[TobiasNilsson]

Thank you very much sir! This was great, you are focused and to the point. The paid courses I have looked at are crap compared to your narration and execution. Very well done!

[admiralgeneral]

Great, pls make a tut how to make a professional menu, I mean when you playing games like watch dogs the menu buttons etc. are looking awesome! Thx

[obeeey]

Still wish unreal had something more similar to css for styling there’s just not a lot of control with umg

[Punchmememe]

Great work thanks for the information helps allot!

UI artist trying to get a handle on some umg, so I can be more useful to my studio for an upcoming project.
I'm great when it comes to 2D art and would have a lot to learn if I were to be able to use umg professionally, but this helps. I'll be checking out more of your vids...
Thank you! :]

I noticed the menu widget is overlaid over a blank level, could you instead overlay it over a level with content and have the level visible (but not interactable) if you wanted a dynamic background.

Thanks Alot Michael! tNice tutorials is a great video, I've been looking for an alternative to Logic pro x for a wNice tutorialle now because logic pro x and apple

[Tripeefy]

is it possible to make a complete android app with this widgets and umg tool instead of the video game ? like a informative app or a slide show or something ?

[osiris]

I'm not near my studio yet, im so curious if it lets us customize the scroll bars.

[yantrs]

I started making soft recently, I was wondering if you wanna do any features.

[goldduck]

help, I'm definitely starting to get the hang of it. Just thought I'd share.

How you start setuping can you do a video on that

[GabeGettinRich]

I’d pay money for a detailed tutorial on animating a metahuman without retargeting. From the ground up. Not the making the metahuman part, I think that market is covered. Every Metahuman integration is always retargeting though and never being done in the blueprint class from scratch. That’s frustrating because then nobody is covering making a player select screen cause there isnt multiple playable characters.

[Phoenix_VR]

Thank u for this yet another great tutorial, I have a very good FPS template and wanted to merge it with a vr project, my main issue was the menu is anchored to corner which conflicted with VR view port....and I didn't know it was an anchor issue....will try to fix it using this anchor settings.

What's not to like in this video, all explained in how to create UI!?

[JaskanFactor]

A tip for those who do tutorials. Dont speak too fast and this video is good on that.

But also its just as important not to go around clicking all over the window too fast, if you expecting people to follow you and learn.

And for me final straw on this video was the endless loud fast mouse clicks very distracting

I learnt from this too for when i want to teach, and the point is not to act like you had too much red bull and extra strong coffe, it creates an atmosphere not most conducive to learning.

Go easy on the mouse clicking and move that mouse cursor around at pace for a tutorial, else its a stressful waste of time.

Thanks for sharing
