Description
Even if you've never created or modified a video game before, learn how to do it using Unreal Engine 5.
The AAA studios and independent game creators all over the world use the free-to-use Unreal game creation engine.
It's a big, strong beast, but we break it down into manageable pieces so you can tame it.
No coding or Unreal prior expertise is necessary because we start off very simply! Your potential with our online lessons will astound you.
You'll make 5 Unreal games since we think project-based learning is the best approach to learning Unreal Engine.
From scratch, learn the robust industry-standard language C++.
You'll feel very comfortable with the fundamentals of coding and game production by the end of the course, and you'll be eager to learn more.
What is an Unreal Engine?
The 1998 first-person shooter game Unreal served as the debut of Epic Games' 3D computer graphics game engine.
The use of Unreal Engine is free for internal projects, custom work, and the creation of linear content.
Additionally, game production is free, to begin with; a 5% royalty only applies once your game reaches more than $1 million USD in sales.
Unreal Engine is a full suite of development tools for games, real-time training and simulation, architectural and automotive visualization, linear film and television content creation, and broadcast and live event production.
What will you require?
- PC that can run Unreal 5 64-bit (recommended).
- Or a Mac with the most recent MacOS Big Sur.
- 8GB more RAM.
- at least 2.5 GHz on a quad-core CPU.
- A graphics card that is DirectX 11, 12, or Metal 1.2 compatible.
- 50GB or so of spare disc space.
- No prior coding or Unreal experience is necessary.
Who can enroll in this course?
- Capable and assured when using a computer.
- Artists that want to make their game engine assets come to life.
- Developers that desire to go from developing to coding.
- Complete novices who are willing to put forth a lot of effort.
- Programmers already in the industry who desire to switch to game development.
- Those eager to discover UE5's fascinating new universe!
- People who have a passion to learn UE5
