I have been working in Unreal Engine 5 since the early access version was launched back in 2021 and in this course I'll be sharing all the skills that I've gained over this period. By the end of this course you shall go from being a complete beginner in Unreal Engine to creating your own custom animations.

This class is for anyone interested in 3D animation, and all you shall require in order to take the class is a computer.

I shall provide the assets that we shall require in order to follow the class.

Feel free to reach out to me at any point during the course. I'll be available to answer all the questions

Let's kick off this journey together, see you in the first class!

Transcripts

1. Introduction: Welcome to this beginner course, where we'll go from knowing nothing about and re Lengin to creating the animation currently playing in the background. No pray experience is required. It might seem intimidating, but we'll go step by step in great detail. If you're not a beginner and want to jump straight to the animation bit, you can do that using the chapters in the description. At the end of this course, you should be able to easily navigate through and ll Engine five, create landscapes and water bodies, download three D assets from Quickle Bridge, download characters and animations, work with particles such as fire and explosions, and finally, animate and export high quality animations from the engine. As we go through the course, we'll see where we can get all sorts of free three D assets and animations for download. I'll include a link below to some of the free assets that I'll be using. The only limit is imagination when it comes to what you can create during and after the course. Please feel free to engage with me at any point through the comment section. I'll be available to address any questions. With that being said, let's get started. A 2. Conclusion: Congratulations on making it to the end of the course. Let's have a look at the final render. At this point, you have all the tools to start bringing your imaginations to life. If you found the case helpful, please consider subscribing as I'll be posting more tutorials on this channel. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my knowledge with you. Catch you on the next one.
