Contenu des livres UE4
Vous trouvez ici le détails du contenus des chapitres de livres traitant d'Unreal engine 4.
Le but de ce document est de pouvoir retrouver rapidement un chapitre traitant d'une thème en particulier.
Si un projet est mentionné, il est possible qu'il soit disponible en téléchargement gratuit (avec les sources) dans la partie "Projets" du site.
Cet article est un document de travail mis à jour régulièrement, et j'essaye de le garder le plus efficace, clair et structuré possible.
Si certains éléments sont difficilement compréhensibles ou un peu brouillons ou étranges dans le contexte, vous pouvez les ignorer.
Les commentaires sont volontairement brefs et peuvent paraître parfois un peu durs pour leurs auteurs (et je m'en excuse par avance), ils ne reflètent que mes premières impressions.
Je remercie d'ailleurs toutes les personnes qui m'ont permis d'accéder à leur ressources soit gratuitement (youtube) ou bien temporairement (livres, ebooks, abonnements payants..), ainsi que tous les auteurs pour leur fantastique travail.
