Summary

Throughout this chapter, you took a look at the tools you will use to bring our level idea to life. Blender is a freely available open source creation suite that supports the entire asset development process. Created using the Python programming language, Blender is flexible enough to run on almost any machine and is entirely cross-platform; it runs in Windows, Mac, or Linux. Next, you took a look at the design process you will use and how Blender and Unreal Engine 4 plug into it. Lastly, you set up Unreal to begin our first project. As you move to the next chapter, you will build your first level that will play host to your first original game asset. Can you feel the excitement!?
