MAYA, SUBSTANCE, MARVELOUS AND UNREAL ENGINE 5

This course will cover a very large number of topics, but the biggest topics are as followed:

Creating interior environments using both modular and unique structural assets
Creating assets in a very fast and efficient way.
Doing cloth simulations using marvelous designer.
Creating procedural textures.
Creating advanced materials in unreal engine 5 that add everything from procedural dust and dirt, vertex painting control and generic dirt control.
Creating various types of ivy foliage.
Doing advanced lighting and post effects in unreal engine.
Doing gravity simulations in maya.
Doing level art in Unreal Engine.
And so much more.

The general takeaway of this course is that at the end, you will have the knowledge on how to create exactly what you see in the product images, and you can apply this knowledge to almost any type of environment or asset.

44+ HOURS!

This course contains over 44+ hours of content – You can follow along with every single step – This course has been done 100% in real-time except for a few small time-lapses for very repetitive tasks.

This course has been divided up into easy-to-understand chapters. We will start by creating our blockout assets and already build our environment in Unreal Engine 5, we will then focus on creating our procedural materials, Unreal shaders, and final structural assets.

After this, we will put our full focus on creating all of our assets in a very fast and efficient way. We will also create a special shader for these assets that give us control over procedural dust, dirt, and much more.

Then we will start by creating our foliage using speedtree, we will place all of our assets and foliage in our environment, add some extra decals and then we will move on to the lighting and post-effects.

Finally, we will finish off by polishing our environment and taking it to final.

I will also show you how to create some final portfolio screenshots and flythrough videos.
