This course takes you from the absolute beginning of moving objects in a world, setting lighting, and such (though taking a specific introduction to Unreal Engine 5 is quite helpful) to creating cinematic scenes with realistic characters from Metahuman.
By Anthony Rizzo on 6/17/2025
He is good at explaining the steps he's showing, but there are some in-between steps that aren't so clear, like how to access certain menu functions, sometimes it seems like it was edited out, which was confusing and caused me to google basic UE5 functions or find out by trial-and-error, making some "5 minute" lessons closer to 20 minutes or more. But overall it's been helpful!
By Morten Andersson on 5/1/2025
the previous episodes are for users with 0 experience with UE, but this course is rushing through the basics so fast that these users will not get much benefit from it, and experienced users do not need it.. would be better to just remove imo.
By Olivia Oliver on 4/18/2025
I'm amazed by how much I've learned in such a short time. This course made Unreal Engine 5 so much more accessible, and I can’t wait to apply it to my projects.
By Guus Saar on 4/17/2025
Really well-paced and informative. The instructor does a great job explaining both the creative and technical aspects of creating cinematic scenes in UE5.
By Aris Lucio on 4/13/2025
I’ve taken a few Unreal Engine courses, but this one stands out. The instructor didn’t just teach tools—he taught storytelling through visuals. I’ve already recommended it to a few friends.
By Orlando Gian on 4/12/2025
Clear, detailed, and visually engaging. This course gave me exactly what I needed to start using UE5 professionally. The advanced sections were especially valuable.
By Gus Monte on 4/12/2025
Absolutely loved this course! I came in knowing almost nothing about Unreal Engine 5 and now I feel confident building my own cinematic scenes. The instructor explained everything clearly, and the visuals were stunning.
By Dmitrii Vasilev on 2/26/2025
Good course, nice explanation of animation's retargeting, and working with sequencer. But a lot is lacking, first of all structure is not very good, some topics doesn't have anything to do with cinematics , like foliage for example, and don't get me wrong its good to have some extra knowledge but it's doesn't explained properly though. It would be better to spend this time on the main topic cause it's lacking a lot, for example there is a lot of sequences you make throughout the course, but in the end you render only one picture... It would be much better if you render complete cinematic, and fix all problems and shortcomings that's pop up on the way, but instead i left alone with the forums and chats looking for solutions myself.

Ich denke der Kurs beinhaltet leider nur oft die basics. Manche Abschnitte haben mir sehr geholfen bei Problemen. Aber insgdesamt würde ich mir mehr background wünschen. Es wird da leider vieles nur kurz angeschnitten.
