Very easy to understand, especially with the screenshots.

Thank you, Marcos, for writing this definitive guide!

After buying 8... or so books on Unreal Engine can say this is best blueprint book I have. 1. Blueprints are readable in book. This is no joke issue several other most other books the blueprints are grainy black and white. Or so tiny the print press was not able to print the text in nodes. I used a shop magnifier on other books even zoomed in the details were unreadable. 2. Would say decent enough explanation of WHY something is being done versus just do this or do that. Which is a huge problem with UE tutorials. I'm half way in about to start on more advanced topics. Will comment further as to how well that goes. Expensive book I feel like removing star from 5 but won't since its 550 something pages double size most other books.Note: Keep away from some of the older blueprint books the images are completely unreadable, and the code spills over to following pages which this author did no do. A function's code for example is contained on one page. So far so good.Edit as promised reviewing second half book , harder to cover the other more advanced topics but still gave good starting points and overview. Of the 6 books I have this is best blueprint one.

This is an AMAZING guide. Hands down! I have spent the last week watching Youtube videos that didn't really help, they have their place, but they can be super confusing. This written manual is step by step and I am absorbing so much new knowledge for Unreal 5. Thank you again! I really appreciate your hard work. Make sure to continue releasing updated manuals and I will continue being a customer. Take care!

“Top pick for UE5 text for instruction of both high school and college level classes.”This is an excellent book and resource. This review is from a teacher of video game programming, who has been teaching Unreal technologies in college and CTE settings since 2005. In my assessment this is the best book I have read covering both essential and some advanced topics in Unreal Engine V 5.x Blueprinting.Providing a working starting point is crucial to providing a timeline specific group of assignments which can be fit within the academic constructs of a class.The author (Romero) has provided in this resource an updated and systematic approach to a topic so dynamic and flexible, that learners could easily get lost without such a guide for the ride.Blueprints Visual Scripting for Unreal Engine 5 (Third Edition) is a fantastic way to get solid foundation so that your abilities and understanding are based on a proven methodology. Many potential professionals become lost in a world of randomness in their efforts to learn this technology from a make do process of googling with needless errors amidst their trials. Follow this process and get a proper introduction. These activities do what they are supposed to do, and they encourage customization.While I really appreciate the organization, a specific favorite of mine is the full color images. Visual scripting needs to have good pictures and this book has that going for it. Another solid mechanic of this approach is the specifics of hands-on instructions. Within my experiences the motor of repetition will drive memory and, the intertwining of related important elements is a spiraling reinforcement as a learner engages with this text. The content goes beyond the introductory level and the progression encourages getting a standard working and goes on to promote bringing ones own ideas into play.The electronic version has advantages for indexing, searching, and accessing digitally. That being said, I appreciate the hard copy as a ready reference. (TIP: Hold one chapter between your thumb and finger, use a highlighter to color a couple of inches along a two-inch part of the edges of just that chapter. Move on to the next chapter holding it the same and shift the color to build your own chapter by chapter visual delineation. Viola, quick at-a-glance access by chapter.)One suggestion for improvement is for the Quiz Answer Section. In the edition I have it is in the Appendix, page “531”. The Quiz answers are listed in shorthand. ,That is to say in the format “Chapter ##, title of chapter, 1-a; 2-b; 3-a; 4-a; 5-b.My suggestion is to restate the important information with the best answer.For Example:Chapter 15, Blueprint Tips: 1-b False. (Actually, the Get Node may be created using CTRL+drag. TIP: A way to remember this is if you want to Set a value, “when you will ALTER its value, you can ALT+drag to the graph resulting in the SET node ready for one to ALTER the value. The CTRL key may be used similarly, for a GET as in you are “leaving the control of the value up to everything else” and so you can “hold the control” by using CTRL+drag to create a Get node to retrieve without modifying the value).The goal of such a format is to reenforce specifics and helps to cement in the learning. Again, just a suggestion.This is an excellent resource for learners as well as those teaching others the remarkably powerful elements within the UE5 ingredient known as Blueprints. This edition uses an improved systematic approach with proven granularity on the step-by-step portions. Plenty of clear images implement a show don’t just tell approach. Full color is a key of identifying elements of blueprints, no prior programming experience is needed, yet those with experience will equally benefit from this source to provide both foundational and spiraling reinforcement of the powerful ways someone can use blueprints to make an unreal engine creation.Experienced Blueprinters will appreciate the best practices and tips as well as the extended support via extra support and goodies (GitHub. Digital color versions of images, etc.) provided to purchasers. As the Table of Contents lays out, some of the advanced topics are likely of interest to many readers who wish to move beyond basicsHaving used earlier editions of Romero curriculum in the instruction of hundreds of high school students, and seeing their successes including State and National competitions, this is an update to a winning combination. Success = ((Unreal_Engine + Romero) * Effort )I have found this book as useful as the Buzz and Zac days when the evolution of the Unreal toolset was similarly widening, and the capabilities positioned developers at a pinnacle of opportunity including so many ways to step off in many possible directions, and it is wise to learn from others and avoid the pitfalls of randomness (i.e. googling and searching forms and YouTube) and embrace this excellent text.This is my top pick and look forward to the ongoing evolution of dedicated students who engage, experiment, and express themselves in their work. Be safe, be smart, be kind. Make something Unreal for a better tomorrow.
