• Models / Materials can be used in both 3ds Max and UE4 (also in .fbx and sketchUp)
• All models are UVW mapped / unwrapped as necessary

SECTION I :

In the first part of the course, the focus will be on transitioning an existing 3d rendering project into real time UE4. You will learn to achieve photo realism with your materials, lighting and post-processing, all using built-in real time tools. From there, students will generate photo realistic animations and renderings that render in REAL TIME! No more waiting for overnight renderings. Change your camera motions, object animations, camera / lighting effects all with immediate feedback.

Topics included :

• importing using datasmith
• UE4 materials
• Lighting techniques and settings
• Perfect light bakes
• Fixing Errors
• Photorealism
• Animating Cameras and Objects
• Level Sequencer
• Lighting with HDRI
• Foliage / Landscaping
• Much More

Who this course is for :

• Arch Viz artists that want to be on the cutting edge of the latest technologies in the industry
• UE4 enthusiasts who want to use real time for architecture
• Anyone who wants to better understand how real time and VR can be integrated into their 3d workflow
• Architects and artists that need a better, more effective way to communicate their ideas
