It’s time to get Unreal! In this weekend course, we will look at how to get started with using Unreal Engine 4. The first day is focused on the background of Unreal, what it’s capabilities are and how it is being used in gaming, virtual reality, video, vfx and more. Day one ends with an interface tour and navigation. On the second day we will import meshes and textures, build materials, and look at the blueprint visual programming system. At the conclusion of the course students will have built a scripted environment to interact with.
No prior experience is necessary but students are required to bring a laptop with the latest version of Unreal installed. Sign up for an account at www.unrealengine.com and download the software for free.
