## Module 1: The Foundations & Project Launch Before we touch the pixels, we set the stage. Epic Games Launcher: This is your command center. Use it to manage engine versions (UE 5.4+ is standard now) and access the Marketplace/Fab for assets. The Project Browser: * Templates: Start with the Third Person or First Person template. It includes a pre-configured character and basic physics. Quality Settings: Choose Maximum and enable Starter Content—it gives you materials and meshes to experiment with immediately. ## Module 2: Mastering the "God View" (Navigation) If you can't move, you can't build. Practice these until they are muscle memory: The "Gamer" Control: Hold Right Mouse Button (RMB) + WASD to fly through the level. The "Focus" Key: Select any object in the Outliner and press F. The camera will zoom directly to it. Orbiting: Hold Alt + Left Mouse Button (LMB) to rotate around a selected object. Transform Gizmos: W: Move (Translate) E: Rotate R: Scale
