Unity Tech Art: Realistic Lighting For Game Development (Udemy.com)

Another excellent course from the GameDev.tv team! Especially beneficial if you are working to become a technical artist, but also very useful knowledge to have if you are in or wanting to break into another branch of game development. If you're into VFX, you will love the shader graph section! Looking forward to seeing more updates to that section :-)

This was a very well taught,well paced and informative course about aspects of Unity's lighting, shading and rendering processes that you simply can't find all in one place elsewhere. And, it's constantly being evolved and updated. I recommend it highly to any Unity developer seeking deeper insights into how to achieve performant , Triple A graphics in their work.Thank you Wilmer.

Very good introduction to lighting in Unity!My only feedback would be to tackle a bit more in-depth the artistic aspect of lighting. For example, it would be good to show a breakdown of a more complex environment lit in Unity (not necessarily lighting it from scratch, just explaining how the concepts apply to it). Other than that I would be interested in seeing content specific to the High Definition Render Pipeline and maybe contrasting it with the Universal Render Pipeline.

If you ever wanted to understand how lightning in unity works, or just wondered what are those paramaters doing, this is the perfect course. I would say this is probably a must have.

Best for Lighting Beginners, Artists. Thoroughgoing about Basics Lighting and Post-Processing. Something is too simple however.

This is an excellent course, clear, concise, and thorough. It's value-added because it includes very useful presentations on post-processing and shader graphs.

Very good beginner course. The instructor went at an easy to follow pace and there are interesting links in the material for more advanced digging into the topics.

This course teaches fundamentals of today realtime graphics as applied to Unity. The same concepts you can use in other game engines to make your game look cool. Also there is great overview and tutorials on ShaderGraph which allows you to make animated Visual Effects and materials. The course is continue to improve with advanced topics like culling techniques and lighting pipelines overview.Overall I learned a lot to improve graphics in my games. Teacher has a great knowledge of the stuff.

Although a bit short, since the course is somewhat incomplete and could receive changes in the future. I learned a lot more about Unity. Would highly recommend once you have some basic understanding of Unity.

I've been tinkering with Unity for a couple of years and while I don't consider myself a novice, I've been avoiding many settings related to lighting due to a lack of understanding. Wilmer does an excellent job of clearing those muddy waters in this course, and I now have complete confidence when making adjustments while baking light maps, or using mixed lighting in my 3D projects. Here, in a progressive and concise way, he has successfully laid out a foundation of principles to be practiced for years. If anything regarding lighting in Unity is unclear to you, I highly recommend this course.

You NEED this course! If, you want to really understand how the lighting systems in Unity work and make them as efficient as possible. In my opinion, each of the sections in the course are worth the asking price of the whole thing.Just as importantly, you WANT this course. The instructor is that rare blend of experienced expert who knows the topics in great depth but also has gift of being able to explain complex material in a clear, concise and accessible way. He is also very active in keeping the course updated and in the Q&A forums (quickly answering questions and providing quality critiques) almost a year after the course was made.The provided resources are top-notch and combine with the well laid out course progression to take you from knowing little or nothing about the subject to being fully competent and able to move forward with confidence.I give this my highest recommendations and look forward to starting another one of Wilmer's courses that I have already purchased.

A really great resource to learn more about lighting in Unity. This course has greatly improved my basic understanding of lighting in general. I now have a much better idea of where to start and how to tweak my lighting to achieve the effect I am trying to achieve.The shader Graph section was especially interesting as I have never works with shaders other than the ones in Unity by default. It really opened my eyes to whole new set of possibilities.
