Program Information
Basic Unreal Engine 5
About the Course
This program focuses on the skills and techniques required for interactive game design as well as high-quality real-time 3D animation using Unreal Engine without requiring in-depth knowledge of programming. Throughout the program, participants will learn to build game mechanics with Blueprint, create dynamic animations using Sequencer, and integrate Lumen and Nanite for comprehensive visuals. The curriculum is designed for game designers and animators aspiring to specialize in developing complete prototypes with compelling narrative visual elements.
