Unreal Engine 5 – The Intermediate Course by David Nixon

Learn how to make video games with Unreal Engine 5. If you’ve already learned the basics of Unreal Engine and are eager to learn more, this is the course for you. For monetary reasons, almost all courses are beginner’s courses. This course is for those desperately seeking something more advanced on Unreal Engine. Continue your journey towards being a professional video game developer with Unreal Engine 5: The Intermediate Course.

Learn How to Make Video Games with this Unreal Engine 5 Course for Intermediate Game Developers

Continue your game dev studies with one of the most up-to-date Unreal Engine courses. This course is regularly updated to cover one of the most recent versions of Unreal Engine 5.

I also spent a great deal of time before the course was first published to plan out all the lessons so that:

1. nothing is covered without the prerequisite knowledge needed to be covered first
2. lectures and sections are self-contained without jumping from topic to topic

In other words, I strived to structure the course in the “ideal” order to reduce confusion to a minimum. At this point in your studies, you should understand how difficult it is to achieve goals 1 and 2 simultaneously, as so many various topics are closely interrelated, so I’m very proud of what I accomplished with this course.

Learn How to Be a Professional Video Game Developer Using Unreal Engine

This course was designed for those looking for a professional study path for Unreal Engine 5. This might line up differently from your goals. You may prefer to avoid attention to detail to play around a bit. But if you’re interested in getting as good as possible, I’ve designed this course to give you what the others won’t.

This course covers the details that other methods skip, which must be clarified when learning more advanced topics. By the end, you should thoroughly understand intermediate concepts of Unreal Engine and be fully prepared to move on to more advanced topics.

Intermediate-Level Game Design Concepts

If you are familiar with, at a basic level, concepts such as Projects, Levels, Actors, Meshes, Collisions, and Blueprints, then you are fully prepared to take this course.

The course will cover the following topics in thorough detail:

• Materials & Textures
• Landscapes & Open Worlds
• Skeletal Meshes & Animations
• Intermediate Blueprints

Materials and Textures – How to make striking, professional-looking materials for your meshes. Includes topics such as material inputs, normal maps, blend modes, shading models, material instances, water materials, material functions, texture masking, UV mapping, texture coordinate node, world position offset, and decals.

Landscapes and Open Worlds – How to make breathtaking landscapes and huge, sprawling open worlds with seamless loading while achieving incredible numbers of frames per second. Learn about manage mode, sculpt mode, paint mode, landscape hole materials, landscape auto materials, splines, landscape grass, foliage mode, world partition system, level instances, level of detail (LOD), and nanite.

Skeletal Meshes and Animations – How to animate skeletal meshes in an interactive manner and blend smoothly between animations. Learn about skeletons, sockets, animation sequences, animation blueprints, state machines, blend spaces, cached poses, combine profiles, additive animations, aim offsets, animation montages, notifications, animation curves, morph targets, and animation attributes.

Intermediate Blueprints – Recap the fundamentals of Blueprints, then build upon that knowledge to achieve great skill and flexibility when scripting your games. Topics include advanced data types, data tables, spawning actors, referencing actors, functions, function libraries, macros, local variables, construction scripts, debugging, event dispatchers, and blueprint interfaces.
