3DS MAX + UNREAL ENGINE 4: EASY REAL TIME & VIRTUAL REALITY FOR ARCH VIZ (or any kind of 3d project)

Welcome to this course, where you will taken from total beginner, to creating your own virtual reality projects in no time.

This class is designed for those of you who are ready to take the next step with your 3d projects. Whether you are a game creator, an architectural visualization specialist, or just aspiring artist, this class is right for you.

COURSE STRUCTURE

When this course was first designed, it was intended to show the exact process of taking your 3d models from static image, to a fully interactive and navigable scene. Originally, this was all done via the real time rendering capabilities of Unreal Engine. The great benefit to you as a student is that the instructor cuts through all the nonessential stuff in order to get you up and running quickly. Unreal Engine can seem like a daunting software, but not in this course. During this original portion of the course you will learn the following things:

  • How to prep your 3d models. The instructor uses 3ds Max, but various different 3d packages will suffice
  • Importing your project into a game engine, Unreal Engine 4, which is totally free 
  • The basic interface, and getting around in Unreal Engine
  • Lighting, Materials and rendering for real time
  • Animating in real time, and exporting full animations that render in just seconds!
  • How to export your project for navigation on any computer using basic arrow key navigation + mouse.
  • Basically, create your own custom video game level!

Since this portion was created, Unreal Engine and real time technology have advanced a great deal. Also, some students will want to dive into the software even deeper. This is why more updated sections have been added that deal specifically with Virtual Reality via a high-end VR headset (Occulus Rift, HTC Vive, etc). During this second portion of the course, you will be able to explore your projects in an entirely new, and extremely immersive way (You will need a headset in order to the most out of this part of the instruction). The exciting things that will be learned in this portion of the course include:

  • Change your existing real time project into a fully immersive / interactive Virtual Reality project
  • Learn how to customize objects using blueprint scripts with no previous knowledge of coding
  • Create interaction using blueprints, i.e. pick up objects, turn on and off lights, change materials dynamically, etc.
  • Download source files and develop a VR project from start to finish.
  • Create your first scripts!
  • Immerse yourself in your own project using the best technology available for communicating your design ideas.
  • Export your VR projects for others to view.

The course is dated but the content is still relevant and a good baseline for what to expect when building a VR environment. UE only gets better so this workflow may have some modifications which is to be expected. The walkthroughs are methodical and helpful and the instructor makes it very easy to reach him with questions, if needed.

By Patv on 10/1/2020

Really amazing course! I was looking to have a base in UE4 and learn more about VR and this is exactly what you deliver. The videos are clear and short which makes it easer to learn (you easily learn piece by piece every day) Good class, the place to start with UE4 and VR!

By Christopher Corrigan on 7/29/2020

Perfect crash course for Unreal, and appreciated the extra sections added on to the end to address how workflows have shifted with later versions of the engine. Have already started implementing things for our firm. Basic familiarity with the engine UI would be helpful when taking this, but I don't think it's required. Definitely geared towards people who already have SOME kind of 3D>render workflow that they're familiar with. Instructor references 3DSMax; doesn't match what we've traditionally done (Revit/Sketchup/Octane) but I was able to follow along without issue. Course is structured so you can focus in on the relevant parts you need for your process.

Good Experience

By Phil Mcclean on 7/5/2020

Really helpful just to get the basics down in my head, i`m totally new to Unreal and your course so far is proving great to follow without jargon.

Adam moves a long at a nice pace, and he seems to be not a super-user and so he doesnt rush passed details, etc

By Fred Maher on 5/15/2020

All good so far

By Ashutosh Asthana on 5/15/2020

Very less information and only basics are covered...

By Diego on 5/11/2020

muy malas explicaciones, no tiene una estructura el curso

By Fernando Maggiolo on 4/13/2020

So far, really clean explanations.

By Adrian Pruett on 4/4/2020

Really awesome instructor who isn't afraid to make a few of the kind of mistakes I would as a beginner and correct them so I learn how to fix problems as well. Halfway through and has really been informative and up'd my game.
