You will also make use of Datasmith, a tool designed to translate your 3d rendering projects into real time (projects can come from 3ds Max, Revit, SketchUp, etc.) The course will be split into several large sections, with some sections coming later as software and techniques evolve.
SECTION I:
In the first part of the course, the focus will be on transitioning an existing 3d rendering project into real time UE4. You will learn to achieve photo realism with your materials, lighting and post-processing, all using built-in real time tools. From there, students will generate photo realistic animations and renderings that render in REAL TIME! No more waiting for overnight renderings. Change your camera motions, object animations, camera / lighting effects all with immediate feedback.

We will explore interactivity in this section and start learning about blueprints. Students will also learn to use the UE4 widget system to create interactive menus, buttons, etc.
SECTION III: Students will optimize their project for VR navigation using a headset. We will look at specific interaction blueprints for VR, and approach the project in a way that gives the best interactive and immersive experience.

I liked being able to go back and rewind the videos to cover a topic again.

By Matthew Kuan on 9/14/2020

The instructor has wealth of knowledge in digital 3D arena. In this course, he often cramp to much information without precise explanation in presenting information. This can cause confusion for beginners learning UE4.
His speech is fast and slurry not deliberate and precise. it could been better if he taken more time to go about this course.

Good lecture

By manu koshy on 7/24/2020

Came to this course as a sketchup user, and enrolled because it said that it included the sketchup wprkflow too. However, everything explained is in relation ONLY to 3DS max. The instructor is not very clear in his explanations or workflow, leaving a lot that you'll have to figure out for yourself or have to look up online, and the version of unreal engine being used seems a little outdated. Also, it's very hard to get replies from them. The main instructor doesn't seem to reply and instead his assistant tackles the questions. And he take a very long time to reply. I had sent a question asking about the lack of any sketchup support in the course, in spite of it being mentioned in the description, and recieved an answer from the assistant after 4 days saying that he would pass on the information to the main teacher. I replied to his comment asking him for a definitive direction forward, and 7 days later, still no reply from them. It's unfortunate that this has happened, but it needs to be said. This course isn't for absolute beginners, and definitely not for sketchup users.

All you need to do is look through the comment section here, to see there are multiple reasons this will push you to the point of frustration.
Missing project files, and working files that don't match are enough to make this course useless.
the amount of times I had to pause and go searching for something because Adam doesn't explain it is crazy. I'm all for breezing through things, but this is a tutorial, and you are breezing through everything.
If I could give any advice, I'd say take the time to put together an air tight course that at least comes with all the elements needed to follow along, and don't assume everyone knows everything. This is a "lesson" after all.

This is an amazing session thanks for the knowledge

By Brad Morgan on 6/16/2020

Fantastic course so far! Adam never fails to mention the small things that most tutorials gloss over.

This was exactly what i was looking for, i am a novice with unreal and i learned a lot. took me a lot of hours to follow along and try out the things myself with detours. I am sure i will rewind this course in the future to certain parts to remember how and what to achieve the best results. Thanks for making this very detailed tutorial.
