A complete and 100% updated course for 3D artists and architects who want to create ultra-realistic, interactive, real-time scenes with Unreal Engine.
Compatible with leading industry software:
- Autodesk 3ds Max
- Cinema 4D
- Autodesk Revit
- Beggining
- Architects
- Engineers
- 3D Freelancer
- 3D artists
- With over 60 hours of content, you’ll learn dynamically, practically, and in detail, blending theory and technique to transform how you work.
- And the best part: even if you’ve never opened Unreal before, we start from absolute zero — from installation and initial configuration to the most advanced techniques with version 5.6.
- Introduction
- Let’s get started! This is exactly where we kick off. In this stage you’ll learn where to download, how to install the software, which plugins we’ll use, configuration… Plus, you’ll understand how to create a project in Unreal, import projects from 3ds Max, Revit, SketchUp, explore its interface, navigation commands, file structure, and much more!!!
- Lighting
- “Light is the way!” It’s crucial to master the art of creating, configuring, and adjusting lighting properly in our 3D scenes. Adjust natural light, artificial light, bounces… You’ll learn to master Lumen, which is revolutionising how we do 3D for architecture — delivering incredible, realistic, real-time results without rendering!
- Materials
- Discover the secret to realistic rendering in Unreal! Learn to represent real-life textures in real-time without rendering, with incredibly realistic results. Master creating materials from scratch.
- Internal and External Scene
- You’ll learn to light and configure a scene that includes both the external environment with natural light and internal with artificial lights — all in one project.
- Animations
- Here, you’ll master full real-time animations, using the powerful Movie Render Graph — camera movements, transitions, animated elements, dynamic lighting, all with cinematic quality.
- Optimization
- Discover how to optimise your scenes for maximum performance — with techniques like LODs, Nanite, PCG, and optimised textures.
- Virtual Tour
- Create immersive, interactive virtual tours where clients can control lighting, change furniture and finishes — all in real time!
