The Real Unreal

The Real Unreal
This course introduces students to the Unreal Engine and will transform any user with little 3D experience to a complete power level user with a solid understanding of the fundamental basics of working in the Unreal Editor. You will learn how to create and set-up a project, customize the user interface, prepare your own assets and import assets from external sources. We will cover viewport navigation, placing and manipulating actors, asset preparation, naming conventions and material creation. We will look into the PBR texture pipeline, what/how/why we use the different types of textures and how they get represented in Unreal. We will take a look into using the power of Blueprint’s to create a custom turntable showcasing an asset. Midway through the course we will shift into production mode and focus on creating a small scene fully assembled with basic lighting and post processing.

Testimonials

It helped a lot. I learned three new tools including Substance Painter, which was really helpful in my job. I learned things about Unreal that I will be able to use in the future.

Louise

It helped me a lot to get more comfortable in Unreal, I started with my own game before the course already. But now I feel very confident to continue with the game and don’t need to worry that I get stuck at some point.

Mitch

Clinton was so generous in giving everyone constructive criticism and every comment he’s made improved my work.

Chang

Great teacher. Really solid directions and explanations around ‘why’ you use the tools your doing as opposed to just outlining general best practices.

Dave

At the end of the course, I feel that I understand the basics and can have some confidence moving onwards in learning — Clinton is excellent at explaining answers from a wide range of questions; from very intricate and complex as well as for someone brand new.
