Begin your journey into game development by exploring the powerful Unreal Engine.
Created by Epic Games, Unreal Engine is one of the most popular engine choices available for games – being used both by indie developers and AAA game studios like Square Enix, Electronic Arts, and more. Its amazing graphical rendering power makes it popular in multiple other industries as well, such as film, causing proficiency with it to be high in demand. In addition, though, Unreal Engine also offers visual scripting through its Blueprints Visual Scripting system, making it a great choice for those who have never coded before.
Through this course, you will explore the foundations of using Unreal Engine in terms of its editors, Blueprints, materials, and more. Not only will you develop a strong sense of what tools are available with the engine, but also how you can begin developing your own games with it.
You will learn how to:
- Install and navigate Unreal Engine
- Manipulate assets with rotation, scaling, and more
- Use Blueprints to visually script mechanics
- Work with Unreal Engine physics
- Alter lights and materials
- Create levels and export games
