Unreal Engine is the world's most open and advanced real-time 3D creation tool for photoreal visuals and immersive experiences. It is free to use for creating linear content like films, and for custom and internal projects. It’s also free in many cases for game development. 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.
In this course, you will start by looking at how to generate ideas. After that, you will see the basic idea behind blocking out your scene. Next, you will learn how to use Quixel Megascans in Unreal Engine 5, set up great lightning, atmosphere, fog, and more.
Finally, you will be rendering a final image from Unreal Engine 5.
By the end of the course, you will be confident enough to use Unreal Engine to create environment design. You will be able to create a complete 3D environment from scratch and master how to use Quixel Megascans library and how to think and get inspired to create beautiful scenes.
No matter what field you are in—games or films—you will be able to create stunning 3D scenes after completing this course.
