Unreal Environments by Joe Garth

Release date:2021

Author:Joe Garth

Skill level:Beginner

Language:English

Exercise files:Yes

Lesson 1
Planning
In this lesson, you’ll learn the basics of Unreal and begin crafting your environment idea. You’ll find references, build a library of assets, and assemble those assets together into one convenient staging area. By the end of this lesson, you’ll have all the tools you need to start building your own environment.

Lesson 2
World Creation
In this lesson, you will build a new level in Unreal Engine. Utilizing various sculpting, set dressing and lighting techniques, your level will progress from a completely flat plane to a beautifully laid out vista.

Lesson 3
City Design
Now that you’ve created a natural environment, you’ll learn how to quickly build a sprawling city. Blueprints, shaders and different kinds of set dressing can generate an incredible amount of variety in no time at all. You will finish by setting up a polished scene, which can either be turned into gameplay or a rendered image.

Lesson 4
Polishing
Now you will polish the environments and shots you’ve created throughout the course. This not only means making them look prettier, but also making sure they perform well while the environment is being run in real-time. At the end of this lesson, you will have a completed 2D or video piece, as well as a playable environment.
