What Will I Learn?
- Understand essential Maths need for game development
- Apply maths directly into use cases rather diving into theory (Practice with our example projects)
- Properly edited short videos which saves your time
- We cover Vector Math, Basic Trigonometry, Cross/Dot Product & Quaternion Rotation in this course
Requirements
You need to have basic Unreal Engine experience with Blueprints
Basic knowledge of Mathematic
Description
Learning Math can be challenging. But most of the time we just need to apply Math for games & 3D designs.
So, we don’t need to dive into theory in the traditional way. Instead, we can understand these Math concepts & simply apply them to do what we really need.
For example, if you need to find a speed for a given direction of a car, you can simply use the dot product. But you don’t need to know how to calculate dot product or try to learn the Math proof behind it.
In this course, we will learn about basic Math for games & 3D by doing real-world Unreal Engine projects.
Although we take an examples first approach, at the end of the course you will have a clear understanding of:
Basic Vector Mathematics
- Basic Trignometry
- 3D Spaces
- 3D Rotation & Orientation
- Cross Product
- Dot Product
- Quaternion Rotation
Projects based Approach
When you signed up, you can download an Unreal Engine app with all the projects we are doing
It has a set of Completed projects which we build through the course
It also has a set of Practice projects in which you can work to understand the concepts in detail
Structure of a Typical Lesson
First, we will give you an introduction to what we are doing
That’s a walkthrough of an Unreal Engine project & some high-level overview of what kind of Math we are using
Then you can watch a tutorial on how to create the project from scratch
After that, you can try it out with the provided practice project
In the end, we will ask a couple of questions. (Here, our goal is to encourage you to work on practice projects)
