Description

IMPORTANT:  Everything you'll learn in this course can be applied to the new release of Unreal Engine 5.  The new features of UE5 such as LUMEN and NANITE are not covered in this course yet, however.  You can even switch the layout of UE5 back to classic UE4 if you'd like to make it easier to follow along.  (I prefer the slick new layout of UE5 myself)


Keep in mind that Unreal Engine 5 requires a powerful computer to run efficiently, so be sure that your computer is powerful enough to run the program.  Unreal Engine 4 runs much faster on less powerful computers, so many people are staying with this version until they can upgrade their machines.


Unreal Engine has become a leading resource in the creation of games, animations, television shows and illustrations!  In this course we will take the absolute beginner from knowing NOTHING about Unreal Engine 4 and 5  to a workable understanding of:

  • Scene setup

  • Importing assets & characters

  • Lighting setup

  • Basic material setup and application

  • The Sequencer (Unreal Engine's animation & editing timeline)

  • Setting up a simple animation

  • Importing audio into the Sequencer

  • Rendering your movie out to a movie file for further manipulation

STUNNING CINEMATICS!
