Uartsy – Environment Creation in Unreal Engine 4

Uartsy – Environment Creation in Unreal Engine 4

Environment artists set the tone for the entire game world and are critical to building games that keep us entranced for hours on end. The best environments immerse us in the story and make us feel like we’re truly part of these fantasy worlds.

In this course from world-renowned artist and favorite ZBW instructor, David Lesperance, you will learn to create those stunning, memorable environments using the very same techniques and programs that the pros use, including Unreal Engine 4.
