Have you ever dreamt of constructing a medieval windmill and importing it into a dynamic game engine?

'Mastering the Art of 3D Modelling: From Blender to Unreal Engine 5' does just that!

Discover the art of designing an elaborate medieval asset, teeming with life through 3D animation, in this over 21-hour class divided into 107 comprehensive lessons. Master techniques utilized by professionals and understand an important part of Unreal Engine integration in the course's objectives.

By delving into this class, you'll:

Unearth your curiosity about 3D modelling;
Understand what you can acquire from the course, and;
Identify how this course can elevate your 3D skill set.

Modelling Segment:

Transform your concepts into realistic game engine assets in an unparalleled way. Focus on creating functional subcomponents for our windmill, including wooden supports, balconies, stairs, a water wheel, and windmill arms. Towards the end of the class, you will build a base for your model, perfect for an appealing portfolio shot.

Texturing and Material Segment:

Obtain a wealth of knowledge with over 100 2k and 4k texture maps, and basics of crafting your materials using these textures. Grasp all about the gamma, hue, saturation, and some world Blender nodes.

Animation Segment:

Understand the importance of realistic motion effects, learn to use keyframes for animating parts of the windmill, and understand the weight distribution to bones for authentic animation. By the end of the class, you will be able to export a fully functioning windmill to any game engine of your choice.

Lighting & Rendering Segment:

Manipulate your scene's aesthetics using an HDRI system for lighting, Blender's in-built functionalities, and portfolio rendering skills. This course provides in-depth guidance on using Eevee for lighting, rendering, shadows, exposure, and colour management, as well as Blender's Cycles renderer.

Unreal Engine 5 Integration:

Explore Unreal Engine 5 in-depth, importing animations from Blender, and understanding the basics of rendering your game's asset in real-time. Learn how to use textures created specifically for Unreal Engine and create clean UI files.

Class Resources & Bonuses:

The class resource pack contains over 100 2k and 4k texture maps with UE5 versions. You will also find a class navigation tool (i.e., a course handbook) that will help you streamline your learning process according to your needs.
