Introduction2:10
Create realistic automotive renders in Unreal Engine 5 by importing, texturing, and lighting four complete scenes. Build scenes from scratch using HDRi, foliage, and race track elements for portfolio-ready results.

Importing and Texturing the Car36:35
Import and texture a car in Unreal Engine 5 to build a realistic automotive render, using Megascans assets, automotive materials, HDRI lighting, and material instances.
Building the Environment23:54
Assemble a realistic automotive environment in Unreal Engine 5 using Megascans asphalt, decals, and modular buildings, then fine-tune tiling, normals, and camera focus.
Lighting and Rendering16:13
Enable HDRi lighting in Unreal Engine with the HDR plugin and use a cube map backdrop to light the scene and create reflections.

Importing and Texturing the Car18:28
Learn to import a detailed G-wagon model into Unreal Engine 5, fix normals, and texture with automotive materials, logos, and glass for realistic car rendering.
Creating the Environment12:15
Create a realistic environment in Unreal Engine 5 using Quixel tundra assets, add mossy ground and varied foliage, and set up a cinematic camera for hdr lighting prep.
Lighting and Rendering9:01
Learn to set up hdris for lighting, adjust skylight and post-process effects, and render with path tracing for realistic automotive visuals in Unreal Engine 5.

Building the Scene13:00
Build a parking-lot scene in Unreal Engine 5 around a G-wagon, add extra cars, set up hdr lighting with Canary Wharf, and apply asphalt, lines, barriers, pipes, and metal finishes.
Lighting and Rendering11:01
Replace the landscape with a ground cube and apply asphalt tiling to craft an automotive render. Use hdri, skylight, and path tracing, plus post-process tuning for shadows, color, and contrast.

Importing and Texturing the Car28:53
Import and texture a green Porsche 911 GT3 into Unreal Engine 5 via Blender and FBX, fix normals and scale, then texture car paint, carbon fiber, tires, and lights.
Building the Scene, Lighting, and Rendering25:04
In Unreal Engine 5, build the scene with a cube floor, apply asphalt, add track decals and fencing, and set up hdri lighting for soft golden-hour shadows and path tracing.

Description

Unreal Engine 5 is very high in demand right now but learning it can be a little intimidating for beginners, which is why I made this course just to show you guys how to make hyper realistic Car / Automotive renders in Unreal Engine 5 very easily!

This is project based course and we will be making 4 high quality animations.

The Scenes that we will make are as follows:

Mustang GT in a City Street.
G Wagon on a Hill.
G Wagon in a Parking lot.
Porsche 911 GT3 on a race track.

This course is extremely easy and is made for Unreal beginners who have very little experience, however, you are expected to know how to navigate the UI of Unreal Engine and use basic tools. Some experience with Blender 3D will also be helpful.

In this tutorial, we're gonna be covering the basics of Importing Models, Texturing, Lighting and Rendering so you can take your 3D Art skills to the next level.

The good thing about this class is that this class will show you the raw process of a 3D artist in creating art. We will be solving all problems and making all creative decisions together!

So what are you waiting for? Just start this class today and take your Unreal skills to a whole new level!

Project:

The project is quite simple! You need to first watch the whole course and then make your own 3D scene of a car! You can either use the same 3D models that I used, or you could use others! You must use all the techniques and skills taught in the class to make sure that you are actually learning something new! You get extra points if you model the car yourself too because that will really enhance your modelling skills as well!

Be sure to change things up by using your own unique colors and lighting setups!

Good luck!
