Developing Metaverse: Your first VR Game in Unreal Engine

not a good course, especially the bit about adding your own hand model. Instructor very hard to understand, skips around a lot and barely teaches you the reasoning behind what they do. Don't "provide me with your hand model already rigged", i want you to walk me through how i can do it myself...

some of the features are not found in unreal engine 5 ad some assets are not opening, the main was destructible mesh does not shown but overall teaching was good

A little bit hard if you are new to the Unreal - but a lot of very tips&tricks how to optimize Unreal for VR. Highly recommend!

I'm genuinely torn between giving this course a 4 or a 5 star review. I followed the course through to the end - The content is excellent and very solid introduction to working in VR, particularly for the lower powered Quest 2 headset. Pros: I loved the lighting hack and the optimization methods absolutely needed for Quest 2 when working with materials and learnt some new tricks here - really cool as I've worked with Unreal for desktop games but not experienced on having to heavily optimize for lower powered mobile devices - really good! Cons: Although Dmitry does a really good job overall but Dimitry, seriously - please slow down on future courses you may publish!! Generally thinking through how you approach a problem and how you modify assets and materials is good and your knowledge shines through but when its comes to instructing others, it's not just the 'look over someone's shoulder approach' that counts - You need to follow a more even pace and signpost a bit more when instructing others i.e. instructors on the very best courses do the two things, not one. I would look at what some of what the top rated unreal engine instructors with bigger audiences do with their unreal engine courses - Of course, real world solutioning is a little different but following a course is a slightly different experience and needs more thought on how you instruct others, not just how you solve issues yourself with 'someone looking over your shoulder'. Even though I'm not an unreal newbie (I've created mini-games on my own and have followed 3 courses before this one) , I had to stop, rewind more times than I would have liked or play the video at a slower speed, not down to lack of confidence, just to make sure I'm following the instructor exactly before experimenting on my own. I know its easier said than done but other instructors on other unreal courses are able to get a better balance. Also, this is not a beginners course and although I highly recommend this one for anyone starting out with developing for Quest 2 and VR in particular. However, for beginners you would be much better off, following an introductory course in Unreal and getting into the swing of the UI and with blueprints before embarking on this one and although Dimitry gave some really good tips , beginners starting off on their journey would be much better served learning good coding habits in Unreal just like in other platforms with more time on better encapsulation / code re-factoring etc. which were absent to a large extent on this course + beginners would struggle with bad habits starting out on their own projects if they good habits are not thought to them starting off and I have to say that Dimitry solved problems logically but had some messy blueprint organisation - You can always look past this when you are prototyping and have been shown some good habits previously. However for beginners, this makes adding additional logic and developing games more problematic with regards to maintenance as you go beyond a small prototype. I've been there and I'm sure many others have been there too. Again, this point is just being made in the interests of the beginner. I wouldn't except any counter arguments about extra instruction making the course too long and if there are concerns about this, don't pitch this course as a beginners course + I also say that others courses are longer because good habits are being taught as well as good techniques + simply put, it takes a while to master anything in Unreal anyway. Overall though I'm really glad I took this course and am not trying to be harsh here. I'm genuinely giving a considered review to help others and I'm happy to talk further with Dimitry on any of the points I've raised. Well done Dimitry as I appreciate its always harder than it looks and I'm glad I learnt some new techniques from you!

No logic approah. Just do this insert this or add/remove smthng type of tutoring. I expected some more insightful style of teaching. Not bad but not so very good either..
