INTRODUCTION

Unreal Engine has changed the game for arch viz artists and other industries. The ability to create stunning renderings, animations, VR, etc., all using real time, is a huge leap forward for 3d artists everywhere. It can, however, be difficult to learn and understand without the right instruction. Software that is extremely powerful (like Unreal) also tends to have a steep learning curve if you don't how or where to start. That is why this course is designed to get students up and running quickly, so they can dive right into professional projects. With project resources provided, and a complete walkthrough of all the essential tools, students will be equipped with ability to create their own real time masterpieces in no time. This course is designed to give students a strong grasp of the software, so they feel comfortable creating, and to do it quickly and efficiently.

COURSE STRUCTURE

Unreal Engine is ever evolving and it has updated features constantly. It is impossible to teach every aspect of every version. That is why this course aims to teach the core software, and core real time principles. It should provide a good foundation for what students are trying to create, regardless of the exact version they are in. The first portion of this course is taught using versions of UE4, up until 4.27, and provides great fundamental skills in Unreal Engine that translate well into newer versions. The more recent project and section is done using UE5, and specifically showcases some of the new features using that version (Lumen, Nanite, etc.)

COURSE OUTLINE

In this course, you will learn everything you need to know about architectural visualization using real time technology with Unreal Engine (UE4 and UE5), the most advanced and professional real time tool available to arch viz artists (It's also free). You will also make use of Datasmith, a tool designed to translate your 3d rendering projects into real time (projects can come from 3ds Max, Revit, SketchUp, etc.) The course will be split into several large sections, with some sections coming later as software and techniques evolve.

SECTION I:

In the first part of the course, the focus will be on transitioning an existing 3d rendering project into real time UE4. You will learn to achieve photo realism with your materials, lighting and post-processing, all using built-in real time tools. From there, students will generate photo realistic animations and renderings that render in REAL TIME! No more waiting for overnight renderings. Change your camera motions, object animations, camera / lighting effects all with immediate feedback.

Topics included:

  • importing using datasmith
  • UE4 materials
  • Lighting techniques and settings
  • Perfect light bakes
  • Fixing Errors
  • Photorealism
  • Animating Cameras and Objects
  • Level Sequencer
  • Lighting with HDRI
  • Foliage / Landscaping
  • Much More

SECTION II:

In this section, students will convert and optimize their scene for desktop navigation so that it can be shared with others, and navigated in real time on any computer. We will explore interactivity in this section and start learning about blueprints. Students will also learn to use the UE4 widget system to create interactive menus, buttons, etc.

SECTION III:

Students will optimize their project for VR navigation using a headset. We will look at specific interaction blueprints for VR, and approach the project in a way that gives the best interactive and immersive experience.

SECTION IV (newly added):

This newly added section adds a completely new project created with all the latest techniques and tools in Unreal Engine 5. Students will use Lumen and Nanite to leverage Unreal Engine's unique ability to create real time global illumination. Follow along in this portion to explore the latest in real time technology, and create stunning results with architectural animations.

You won't find an easier, faster way to get up and running with Unreal Engine. Jumping right in to professional level projects, with clear instruction and resources provided, is the fastest way. Unreal Engine is the premiere real time technology for arch viz and other industries -- offering the most accessible and powerful tools -- and you can be up and running in just a short amount of time by following the concise instruction in this course. Enjoy!
