Unreal Engine – Quickstart

Unreal Engine is the world’s most open and advanced real-time 3D creation tool. Continuously evolving to serve not only its original purpose as a state-of-the-art game engine, but also to empower creative types across many different industries the freedom and control to deliver cutting-edge content, interactive experiences and immersive virtual worlds.

This introductory workshop will cover the basics needed for understanding the uses and applications of Unreal Engine for real-time 3D projects. Instruction will begin with the assumption that you know little to nothing about Unreal. By the end of this workshop you will have a better understanding of uses of Unreal Engine for the film, TV and games industries and get a brief demonstration on how to get started with this revolutionary product.

Prerequisite: Working knowledge and experience with graphics software is best.  Unreal Engine requires that you have a 2020 or newer Mac or PC with 8 GB of VRAM and at least 16 GB of RAM.  A large screen monitor (2 is best!) and the use of a full keyboard with a 3-button mouse is essential, especially for anyone using a laptop.
