Unreal Engine is the world’s most open and advanced real-time 3D creation tool for photoreal visuals and immersive experiences. Unreal Engine is a complete suite of creation tools for game development, architectural and automotive visualization, linear film and television content creation, broadcast and live event production, training and simulation, and other real-time applications.
This course will cover in detail topics on how to create AAA vehicle in Unreal Engine 5.
Starting with the basic setup of the vehicle, we will be using the free Matrix demo scene to kickstart our environment. Then you will add car engine sounds, edit the environment and customize our car, and add logic to our speed meter to work with the car.
Following that, you will add friction to your car, set up the car engine, and create and tweak the car’s suspension and steering. Next, you will be tweaking and fine-tuning car stats.
After that, you will be adding car impact, skidding sound, and creating a particle system for tire smoke. Finally, you will be creating checkpoint logic, setting up timers, and testing our game demo.
By the end of this course, you will be confident enough to use Unreal Engine to create functional vehicles. You will be able to create a complete 3D vehicle and its environment from scratch with the help of added assets provided.
All the resource files are added to the GitHub repository at: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Unreal-Engine-5---Make-AAA-Game-Vehi…
Import and export cars from Blender to Unreal Engine 5
Explore, create and tweak car engine, friction, and suspension
Create the perfect steering for your car
Make Enter-Exit logic from the vehicle
Add different sound effects to the engine based on speed, effect on the impact and skidding
Create HUD for your vehicle with shifts and speed meter
The course comes bundled with all the resources - sounds and the complete blueprint set up in the first video itself. If you have some difficulties, you can always explore the setup from the files.
You would need a basic to intermediate understanding of blueprints along with the Unreal Engine 5 interface and basic knowledge of the engine. You will need to download the free Matrix demo scene from the Epic Games marketplace to follow along the course.
This course is meant for intermediate and expert users of Unreal Engine 5 as the basics of Unreal Engine 5 won’t be covered.
