Custom sculpted landscapes

Landscape painting

Foliage painting

Level editing

Editing collision to create a fully playable world

Basic lighting, post processing, fog, and atmospheric effects

Why take this course?

If you're new to Unreal, or want to get started creating highly detailed and professional outdoor landscapes, then you've come to the right place!

In this course I'll teach you all the amazing tools in UE5 that can be utilized to create levels and landscapes, and we'll put that knowledge to use by creating an entire island level, step by step!

---------------------------

If you don't have any experience in Unreal Engine 4, or 5, I've got you covered!  I've dedicated part of this course to teaching the basic knowledge needed to complete this course.  You'll learn how to install the engine, how to add objects to your new projects, and even how to navigate the engine and edit levels!

Once you learn the basics, or if you already have some experience, we'll hop into learning all of UE5s landscape tools!  I'll teach you how to sculpt terrain, by going in depth into all the parameters available in the engine, as well as how to create a custom landscape material that we'll use to paint highly detailed textures onto our island.  I'll even show you how to paint realistic foliage onto your levels.

But we won't just stop after having created our island!  I'll even show you how to implement some of UE5s realistic water system, and how to set the mood of your scene with lighting, post processing, fog, and volumetric clouds.

After that, I'll even teach you how to make your level playable by customizing object collision, and adding invisible walls to keep players on the right path.

Very nice course. I really like that you explain a lot. Many other Coaches just say people where to click without explaining what it does. Thanks!

Could have been more detailed. Although some functions were explained but no example were shown to understand eg Use of heightmap, Custom textures to sculpt. Some of the main elements were explained in a rush. But for a begineer it can be a good start.

Good Course I learnt a lot from this. But please give some tips for how to run Unreal Engine 5 smoothly on an IGPU. I'm running this on amd ryzen 5 vega 8 laptop. Reducing shadows and disabling lumen helped but not much.

Really good course to ease anyone into UE Enviroment creation, and get good fundamentals for creating your own :)

It's a good course to get you Started, but in my opinion, it doesn't really get into the specifics of certain settings, which may be good because it won't scare you away, however you may find yourself doing some extra research for have things explained even further. I think this course is good if you've taken another Unreal Engine Course previous to this one, maybe not from this instructor, but from someone on Youtube, like Unreal Engine Sensei. What I did was that I took his free course, and then I took this one. That way, I can focus on the creation process of this course, while not really worrying how settings work, because Unreal Engine Sensei covered that. However, you can take this Course by itself and I think you'll be fine, but do plan to research certain settings on your own. What I do appreciate are the little tips he provides during the Course, such as creating the landscape material, like setting the Sampler Source to Shared:Warp, because UE won't recognize more than 5 textures unless it's Shared:Warp. This was really helpful, and they're other tips like that along this tutorial. All in all, I'll rate this course a 4.5 out of 5 stars. Thank you for taking the time to create this lesson for us. I hope you make more in the future.

Very great course on getting up to speed with the terrain tools in a quick start workflow. Highly recommend!

Unfortunately he skipped the procedural texturing of landscape by steepness part which was exactly what I was hoping to learn from this course. The rest is solid basic knowledge and very helpful though.

TOP experience. The tutor is great and he goes straight forward to the point. The course is infact very useful and it does not mess around with useless things. I strongly recommend!

It was a good match. I'm not a beginner with Unreal and I'm sculpted landscapes and dealt with foliage before, but it was in a haphazard way and this course is going a long way to teach me basic things that I didn't know about and how to smooth out my art pipeline.

The course is not bad, but it is far from being a realistic scenario as the course promises. It could just be a scenario creation course for beginners, it would be fairer.

Helped me to not only be able to start my journey in creating landscapes but also thoroughly went over a lot of the tools needed to do so.

Really good info. Audio is very low in level. I have another tab open with audio at 10% max volume and this tutorial is the same level. Deffo need to compress/limit the audio. Thanks though, good tutorial.
