Unreal Engine 4 - VFX for Games - Beginner to Intermediate (Udemy.com)

It was a great learning experience and taught by a passionate teacher.

This guy really knows what he's doing. He takes you step by step thru the basics.
One note of caution, if you're not using Photoshop and substituting it for something like Gimp and you're totally new to this, get ready for a good bit of Google-ing. Not a ton, but enough to be slightly frustrating. If you know what you're doing there, don't worry, you'll be fine.
All in all, I was glad to have this course recommended to me. Enjoy!

Halfway through the course and I already feel much more comfortable with sketching VFX ideas and then trying to reproduce them with Niagara in UE4.

This was a wonderful starting place for vfx fundamentals as well as a good primer on the UE4 Niagara system.

I had a small amount of experience with creating VFX but not with unreal engine before starting this course. The content of the course is perfect. Starting right from scratch makes it much easier to understand the entire process of creating VFX. The Blueprints for the project are very quickly glanced over though if you have little to no experience with blueprints it makes little sense. Providing those resources is a big help. some constructive feedback is that more often than not, you will explain what we need to create a certain behaviour, E.G 'We want to convert this to a float and then turn it to a curve'. however you will complete this action quickly and not give much information on where to carry out this change. I found my self pausing and going back often as you progressed quickly. Overall really good course content and information.

I think the technical level and pacing is good, a bit slow for me but I realize I learn these things quickly. My only issue to far is the English pronunciation. But for the most part I get used to it. Although at some point it had me confused for a while when the lecturer kept saying "models" when he was referring to "modules".

Great!

Really great content. This series has helped me go from zero VFX experience to being able to create some impressive effects. I definitely recommend this course. The instructor moves very quickly so I slowed the video down to 75% and even 50% sometimes which made him sound like he was drunk but it's fine once you get used to it.

Very easy to follow with a great learning curve.

I'm not really getting to the most desired objective yet, such as actually making it in the Unreal Engine.

I just wanted to learn VFX through an actual course rather than one YouTube video. This is exactly what I was looking for

I like how the instructor give the lesson it is easy to learn
