I've been making films and doing visual effects on indie films for over 15 years. When I discovered Unreal Engine 4 I was blown away by it's realistic real-time rendering engine! I immediately saw that Unreal Engine (UE4) was a game changer and that it had now become possible for a small studio consisting of a few artists to pull off a Hollywood quality feature length animated film!
In the past it would take hours, if not days, to render each frame of an animation, which made it impossible for an independent artist to complete a full length film. It would literally take years to render all the frames of a movie!
All this has changed with Unreal Engine 4 - the playing field has been leveled and it is now truly up to the talents and skill set of the artist/storyteller to create their vision. No longer will you be held back due to limitations of technology.
Join with me as we begin a journey in using this awesome tool-set - I think you will find it not only fun, but extremely satisfying on a creative level.

It's good, but a bit slow.

I'm pretty excited about the course. But, the thing is the plugin that the instructor used is not free at all. Why you're not mention about it at the first place? I thought it's completely free to use. But, when I saw the price on the marketplace. I'm quite surprise with the price of the plugin. Yes, and no. I want to use the technique that professionals used, but you should mention it earlier so that I won't waste my time and money to wait for purchasing the plugin for commercial use. My currency Is 4x more expensive than USD.
So, please mention it earlier on the video.
[EDIT]
I don't know how to reply the instructor. I changed my ratings to full stars because the instructor really do care about their students. :D .
Okay, let's see. I'm aware and I know you have included all the require tools to complete the course, and that's great! But, you need to know that my current WIP is on v4.20. It doesn't support the version. If I use the 4.17, I won't compile in 4.20. That's the reason. I've spent months on working on it. So, I thought it would be okay.
Anyway, I've purchased the Allright Rig v2.0 from the Black Friday sale, and I'm looking forward to the course. And, I'm start to fire up again to learn from the course!
Thank you.

good, but slow in redundant areas
By Bret Dunham
Have not learned anything yet. Also.. i tried to open project in 4.20.. failure.. need to re install 4.17 to follow along
By Kyle Tilghman
Solid reviewer, well spoken and goes at a good pace. The only thing I'd recommend for this instructor would be to recompile the project because there are already created objects for certain parts. For instance, the rig is already created and animations are already created in the first part of the Dweller. Overall though I can tell this is going to be a solid course.
By Reza Darooei
I give five stars to This course if I could I will give you 10 stars because of some reasons:
first, the course is so easy and lovely.
second, the Instructor Michel is so responsive person and so nice guy.
but I have complained about some lectures:
unfurtentlyI couldn't use this course after lecture 23 I tried too hard to find some workflow I could use allright Rig 1.3 instead of allrigh rig 2 but it wasn't so useful. I asked Alex I couldn't buy this plugin because of sanction but it doesn't useful too.and that is not your problem because you teach awesome.
thanks a lot for your lovely course

To be completely honest I just winged the coursed and just skimmed the surface. My main caveat is that you need to purchase 110$ plugin to get the most of it. Sure you can stay with allrightRig 1.3 (which is free), but that also means you are stuck with unreal version 4.17 as AllrightRig 1.3 can't be installed on later versions of the engine ( the cool Paragon characters are from 4.19 and above by the way). So, unless you plan to develop in older versions of the engine (which means not all assets from UE Marketplace be available to you), I will suggest thinking twice before you buy. And by the way, If you bought this course as part of a 2 courses bundle - you CAN'T refund it as well. So, Watch out when Udemy offers you this deal (Two courses bundled together in a discount).
However, if you do want to shell out the 110$ and buy allRightRig 2.0, you may find this course very helpful as the instructor seems very knowledgeable and good at delivering his knowledge. It also seems he is driven by sheer love for animation (which is great if you are willing to shell out those additional 110$ for the plugin).
All the best whoever reads this.

THIS IS SOOOOO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By Marcin Nawrocki
great course, so far everything explained in detail,
By Sighman
This was a good fit for me but the supplied project was not prepared very well. It is missing the allright plugin and the project itself was in a finished state rather than a starting state. Also, the project file was bloated with unnecessary files that made it a very large download. Otherwise I would give it 5 stars because I have a huge DAZ library and now I have a way to use it in UE4.
