Hi everyone!
I'm looking for an old tutorial series by Karl Lewis (@karllewis7965 on YouTube) about creating an immersive first-person shooter in Unreal Engine 4.
The series was published on his website, karllewisdesign.com, and covered topics such as true first-person character setup, hand IK, aiming down sights, projectile firing, procedural recoil, and manual shotgun reloading.
Unfortunately, some of the original pages appear to be unavailable, and I haven't been able to find complete archived copies through the Wayback Machine.
I'm trying to find the entire tutorial series, including all parts, articles, screenshots, diagrams, and any downloadable project files that might have accompanied it.
Here are some of the parts I've identified so far:
Part 1 – Intent, Setup & True First Person Character
Part 2 – Hand IK and Deadzone Rotation
Part 3 – Aiming Down Sights
Part 4 – Firing Projectiles and Controlling the Pump Action
Part 5 – Procedural Recoil Animations
Part 6 – Manual Reloading Controls
If anyone has saved copies of these articles, PDFs, screenshots, backups, or knows of another website where the series is still available, I'd be extremely grateful if you could share them.
Even incomplete copies or archived pages of individual parts would be very helpful!
I'm particularly interested in preserving the original tutorials rather than finding generic alternatives, since the specific implementation details are what make this series valuable.
Thanks in advance!
