What you'll learn
In this Unreal Engine tutorial, we'll learn how to utilize Construction Script to more easily build interesting levels. Construction Script allows us to dynamically spawn Static Meshes in a line, grid, or create materials for those meshes. We'll also learn how to automate repetitive tasks to save time in building levels, and how to create Dynamic Materials. By the end of this Unreal Engine training, you'll know the fundamental skills you need to start using Construction Script in your projects. Software required: Unreal Engine 4.7.5.
