This course is for you guys out there who are wanting to try unreal engine for the very first time. In 1 hour and 40 minutes you will go from installing unreal engine 4 to exporting your very first animation in unreal engine 4. This course is a 0 to hero meaning you will go from knowing nothing inside unreal engine to being able to export a cg animated movie. Some of the topics we will cover will be the epic marketplace,importing animations,retargeting animations,manipulating cg in blender and reimport it back to unreal,working with cameras,using the cinematic sequencer,working with hair groom assets,ray tracing,movie render queue i mean i can go on and on.I covered alot of stuff in this short course. And best of all, we will not be using any blueprints whatsoever. Lastly, i tried my best to only use free assets so you guys can follow along but I did purchase an animation to use for this tutorial to spice things up and I bought hair as well but dont worry i used free animations too.

Mahmoud Jobe –
This is exactly what I have been looking for. Amazing tutorial, especially for a beginner like me, but also for someone who only wants to learn Unreal Engine to make short films. Please make more of these tutorials!
Matthew Isikhuemen –
For a beginners crash course, I highly recommend this course. comprehensive and straight to the point
Haile-Eyesus Murrell –
There was a lot of good information. It just needs a bit more focus and some better explanation on why to do something. Good course overall.
Paul Lyon –
Fantastic course. I knew a bit about Unreal and Sequencer but this really helped with the animations and solid rendering!
Grim Future Studio –
Author explain everything that you must know as beginner. But this course is too short and simple, so it’s just a normal one nothing more.
Bill Kirsch –
I’m only on Section 2, but some of the steps are not fully explained. Specifically when you delete the countess and leave only the sword. You Delete something and the sword disappears for a split second and then it re-appears. After a bunch of trial and error I found that I delete what you deleted and hit CTRL-Z and it seems to put me where I need to be. Love the course so far!
Me –
A am a complete beginner to Unreal, so this was a good start. But I was unable to afford the paid animations and hair. Also, I wish some more aspects were explained. Sometimes the instructor would mention a bunch of technical terms (especially in the last lesson that covered rendering/exporting) and I didn’t fully understand what they were or what they did. I also had some problems with “stuff” disappearing every time I would save my project and come back the next day (like my sequencer would disappear, or my cinema camera would vanish or turn into a wireframe view) but I probably just need to find more tutorials to increase my knowledge of the interface.
Michael Colombo –
Yes definitely. Good pace and great enthusiasm from the instructor. I learned a lot!!
Todd A. Pruden –
The course content is minimal but the instructor uses their time effectively to attain their learning outcomes.
Andrew N –
Great course! Good for filmmakers who want an overview of Unreal without getting swamped with information and detail.
Royce Adkins –
Sometimes hard to follow along. Not for beginners
Nowis Valvert –
A good introduction to UE sequencer and the “export to Blender” part is really enjoyable.
