UnrealEd Classes

Welcome to The GRAVEL UnrealED mini-course! We will meet four times, between 1:30-3:30 on Mondays in Room 405, Walter Library. Heres a tentative schedule:

Week 1: Static Worlds. Intro to UnrealEd, brushes, clipping, static meshes.

Week 2: Simple motion. Triggers and Movers. Terrain editing.

Week 3: Advanced motion. Emitters and Karma objects. Bots.

Week 4. Scripting. File structure, packages, Unreal Script.

The course will be done at a very introductory level. By the end of the course, you will not be able to get a job at EA, but you will have a pretty good idea of what UnrealEd can do. The idea behind this course is to give people a good handle on Unreals capabilities, and to direct them to websites where they can learn more advanced material on their own.

This is is the first time I've taught this course, expect some rough spots!
