This course is designed to enhance your game development and design skills using Unreal Engine 5. Building on foundational knowledge, this course delves into the creation of realistic materials and textures, teaching you to use various textures and understand blend modes and shading models, including how to tackle challenging concepts like normal maps and UV mapping. It also covers extensive training in crafting vast landscapes and open-world environments, where you'll learn about landscape sculpting and painting tools, auto materials, and the implementation of advanced features like world partitioning and Nanite technology. We then cover animating skeletal meshes, offering insights into animation assets, blending animations for seamless movement, and utilizing advanced animation tools like sockets, state machines, and blend spaces. Finally, in the Intermediate Blueprints section, your blueprinting knowledge is taken to the next level.
