Description

Do you dream of having the opportunity to work in one of the most promising markets today, and being able to learn how to compose beautiful realistic scenes for games, architecture, cinematography, marketing and advertising, and still be well paid for your work?If the answer is yes, then I invite you to come with me because this course is for you.In this course I will teach you how to create a realistic environment for films and games.We'll show you how to compose, light and get a good look at the render to present to your 3D studio or directors.National and international studios and production companies need a specific 3D artist for the construction and development of worlds, scenarios, environments and 3D locations.The idea of ​​this course is to prepare you for the market, as the demand for this type of 3D artist is increasing.I will guide you through the Unreal Engine 5 tool, informing you what is really necessary to carry out and build the project, thus discarding activities that we do not use in our workflow, that's right, I will introduce you to our work method which is based on practicality, simplicity and authenticity in projects.In the end, you will compose a realistic scene and have an excellent portfolio.If you have any questions during the course, feel free to ask, as my role as an instructor is to help you reach your full potential so you can create incredible, breathtaking scenes.Welcome to this wonderful world of 3D arts.
