Book Downloads

1. Download and install UE4 version 4.8.3
The book and the levels are intended for use with UE4 version 4.8.3 available here.
For other versions, see Additional Downloads below.

NEW! We've provided updated versions of all the levels to 4.12 - see links below.
There are some changes so we'd still recommend working through the book with 4.8.3, but if you want to use 4.12 then see the README file included in the Additional Downloads link below.

2. Download and install the GAB macro library
Several of the book projects require some additional nodes that we have built specifically for your use. These are contained in a Macro library which you need to install first.

PC: Manual install - here
Open the GAB_Resources.zip file and put the GAB_Resources folder in your Engine/Content folder. Depending on the install this will likely be in one of these locations:
C:\Program Files\Unreal Engine\4.8\Engine\Content
C:\Program Files\Epic Games\4.8\Engine\Content

MAC: Automatic Installer - here (Unzip and install)
MAC: Manual Install - here
Put the GAB_Resources folder in your Engine/Content folder: Depending on the install this will likely be in one of these locations:
/Users/Shared/UnrealEngine/4.8/Engine/Content
/Users/Shared/Epic Games/UE_4.8/Engine/Content

3. Download and install the demo projects or exercise level
As you work through each chapter download the appropriate chapter's demo project and complete the exercises in the exercise project.

Demo Projects and Exercise Project Link - here

PC: Right click on the downloaded zip file and 'Extract Here'. Then drag and drop the project to the Unreal Projects folder: C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Unreal Projects

MAC: Put the downloaded zip file in the Unreal Projects folder then double click to expand: /Users/UserName/Documents/Unreal Projects

NOTE: The Unreal Projects folder does not exist until you have created your first project so you may need to initially create the folder yourself.

4. Restart the Epic Games Launcher to see the projects in the launcher library

5. Install the Substance plugin
The book projects require the Substance plugin so when you first open one of the projects the launcher may ask if you want to install it. Say yes and when this is complete you can reopen the project.
