Course Description

This course is intended for those with a more comfortable understanding of the Unreal Engine who have an interest in creating Particle FX or Visual FX. In this course, we take you through the process of setting up a complex particle system that warps a character in through a teleportation device, as well as an amazing look at "phasing" the character in to view! We'll look at creating the holographic projections you see in the scene, adding texture and distortion to the sequence, and then wrap up the series with an in-depth look at setting up a basic render and animating the camera and lights so that you can make your very own cut-scenes and cinematics!

Learn tips and tricks of creating dynamic animation and games design.
