Aaa Game Environment Creation In Unreal Engine 5

Master Environment creation in Unreal Engine 5 with techniques used in AAA games

What you'll learn

Learn AAA Environment Set Dressing pipelines in Unreal Engine 5

Learn Art Fundamentals like color theory, design language, lightning and much more

Learn Design Theory to understand how to create good looking environments

Learn Lightning techniques to increase the quality of your scene

Requirements

Understanding of Unreal Engine 5 interface is good to have but not required.

This course is intended to work for beginners and the difficulty will increase a tiny bit as we progress through the course

Description

In this Environment Creation Course you will learn the techniques behind AAA level creation for games using Unreal Engine 5. We will create an environment from scratch and step by step we will build a game ready environment.Many people think that level creation is just drag and dropping assets. This is why many people end up with environments that don't look good and they don't know why. After this course you will know what makes an environment look good and how you can apply the same formula to every environment you create in the future.This course is different from other environment creation courses where instead of showing you how to do something I show you the why and the fundamentals behind art theory so you can learn a new skillset and apply that to any type of environment you wish to create be it in games, movies or any other form of visual art.By the end of this course you will understand the art fundation that is behind the environment creation process and leave with a skillset that will help you along your whole career as a 3D artist.We will create an environment in Unreal Engine 5 from scratch using free available assets to illustrate the process of creating a level in UE5. You will start by creating the blockout applying design principles and understanding how to make a good composition and how lightning the environment will affect the design from very early on.From there you will slowly start decorating the environment and apply different principles in art like color harmony, color balance, lightning, design principles and many more fundamentals.
