Description

Unreal Engine 5 is one of the most powerful and in-demand tools in the game development industry today. However, it can be intimidating for beginners to get started. That’s why this course was created — to help you confidently learn Unreal Engine by building a fully functional, realistic racing game from scratch.This is a hands-on, project-based course where we will walk through every major step of game development. By the end, you’ll have your own racing game complete with core gameplay systems and a polished feel.What You’ll Learn:Rigging a car model in Blender 3DMaking the car drivable in Unreal Engine 5Texturing and applying materialsIntegrating AI opponent cars to make the race competitiveSetting up a game environment using a realistic pre-built city, complete with roads, buildings, trees, and lightingSolving problems and making creative design decisions as we go — just like a real developerThe course is beginner-friendly, though having some prior experience with Unreal Engine or Blender will be helpful. Throughout the course, you'll be exposed to real development challenges and solutions, giving you insight into how a game comes together from the ground up.Final ProjectAs a final challenge, you’ll build your own version of the game — set in your own city or using a theme of your choice.You can use the same 3D models used in the course or bring in your own assets. To reinforce your learning, be sure to apply all the techniques covered in class. You are encouraged to experiment and make the game your own.Bonus challenge:If you choose to model the car and buildings yourself in Blender, it will further sharpen your modeling and customization skills.Add your own touches with custom lighting setups, materials, and colors to make your project stand out.This is more than just a tutorial — it’s a complete learning journey where you and I build the game together from start to finish.Enroll now and take your Unreal Engine skills to the next level.
