With 10 comprehensive parts covering every aspect of creating stunning environments in Unreal Engine 5, you’ll learn everything you need to know to create an immersive and breathtaking environment that draws players in and keeps them engaged.‘Creating Stunning Environments in UE5: A Game Artist Bootcamp’ is divided into 10 parts, each covering a different aspect of creating stunning environments in Unreal Engine 5. Here’s a detailed overview of what you can expect to learn in each part.Part 1: Asset SetupFirst impressions matter, and in game design, the assets you use play a crucial role in setting the tone for your environment. In this part of the course, you’ll learn how to import assets, set up textures, and create seamless blends to create a cohesive environment that sets the stage for the game.- Importing Assetso Adding FBX meshes onto Unreal Engine 5 (chair, table barrel, bucket)- Setting up PBR Textureo Creating material shader for a basic PBR texture setup- Seamless texture setupo Creating an adjustable material for seamless textures that allow you to control texture scale and colouro Setting up wood, metallic and water materials, including transparency setupPart 2: Asset BlendingCreating a cohesive environment is essential for immersing players in the world you’ve created. In part 2, you’ll learn how to blend assets to create a realistic and seamless environment that feels natural and immersive.- Vertex Paint Material Setupo Creating a vertex-based blend material that allows you to paint moss onto castle walls- Physics-based object scatteringo Setting up collisions, enable physics onto objects and scatter them whilst simulating the scene, then save out location of the scattered rocks- Setup Distance Field Material Blendo Creating an opacity mask-based blending material which allows you to blend in textures of rock with the landscape using a dithering effectPart 3: Terrain Sculpting and TexturingCreating a realistic landscape is essential for immersing players in the game’s world. Here, you’ll learn how to sculpt and texture the terrain to create a lifelike landscape that will draw players in and make them feel like they’re part of the world you’ve created.- Sculpting Landscapeo Learning how to use height data information to generate terrain. We will also make use of UE5’s built-in sculpting mode. ‘Creating Stunning Environments in UE5: A Game Artist Bootcamp’ will see you sculpting terrain using basic brushes in combination with noise brushes and adjusting large-scale terrain with more complex tools such as the terrain stamping tool- Creating Landscape Materialo Making an attribute-based landscape material to texture the terrain based on weight painted data and height map blending- Texturing Terraino Learning to blend in terrain textures with height blended weight data for landscapesPart 4: Large Terrain Fog SetupAdding fog to your environment can create depth and atmosphere, but it can be tricky to get it just right. In part 4, you’ll learn how to use fog to add depth to your environment and create the desired mood and atmosphere, whether it’s a bright and sunny day or a dark and moody night.- Height Fog Useo Using the exponential height fog tool to create depth to the mountains based on their distance from the camera- Create Fog Plane Materialo Creating a material for a plane that makes controllable fog planes with custom depth masking and camera distance-based opacity- Volumetric Fog Setupo Creating another variant of fog material; volumetric fog. This will give 3 dimensional (3D) depth to the fog in the scenePart 5: Mastering Foliage CreationAdding foliage to your environment can make it feel more alive and immersive. In this part of ‘Creating Stunning Environments in UE5: A Game Artist Bootcamp’, you’ll learn how to add grass, shrubs, and trees to your environment and create a natural and beautiful landscape that feels like it’s teeming with life.- Using Foliage Tool to Setup Grasso Using Quixel’s mixer library to add grass and shrubs using the foliage tool and learning how to use its preset material instance to tweak the colours- Placing Larger Foliage Assetso Learning how to grab free Quixel tree assets from UE5 marketplace, how to set up wind system actor for them, and how to control season colour changes on trees- Painting Large Areas Using the Foliage Toolo Painting out a preset environment with clusters of foliage, and making the best use of the foliage toolkit by tweaking its values to place it around our nature scenePart 6: Creating Visual EffectsSpecial effects can take your environment to the next level and add an extra layer of immersion for players. You’ll learn how to create smoke, fire, and water animations to create a realistic and dynamic environment that feels like it’s alive and breathing.- Creating Niagara Smoke Particleo Setting up smoke particles for the chimney using UE5’s Niagara System- Creating Animated Fire Particleso Setting up a SubUV texture for fire animation of a particle with controllable colour variation- Animating Water Materialo Learning how to add animation directly onto water material for it to have constant panning motion and ripple distortionPart 7: LightingLighting is a crucial aspect of creating a stunning environment, as it can set the mood and atmosphere of the world you’ve created. In part 7, you’ll learn how to light your environment to create the desired mood and atmosphere, whether it’s a bright and sunny day or a dark and moody night.· Studio Lightingo Setting up a Skybox with a 3-point light system to get a controlled lighting environment within the scene· Night Sceneo Using UE5’s built-in environment lighting tab in combination with post-process effects to create night scene lighting· Night/Day Cycleo Using UE5’s built-in Sun Position Calculator plugin to get accurate sun positioningo Creating motion for the sun by tweaking its blueprint systemo Adding a star-lit sky which is only visible at night by making full use of automatic exposure which simulates brightness adjustments like your eye would havePart 8: Cinematic Camera TechniquesUsing cinematic camera techniques can create professional-looking shots that draw players in and make them feel like they’re part of the action. Here, you’ll learn how to use camera techniques to create stunning and dynamic shots that will keep players engaged and immersed.· Camera turntableo Setting up a camera attached to an object which rotates around a Viking boat using level sequencer animation· Handheld close-up Shotso Creating a camera shake motion from a blueprint template that randomizes the rotation of a camera to simulate shaking· Camera Transition Shotso Learning how to set up controls for post-processes and camera control in UE5’s level sequencer to create transitions between camera shots (blackout and blur out)Part 9: Breathing Life into the SceneAdding life to your environment can make it feel more dynamic and immersive. You’ll learn how to add motion to foliage, create buzzing bee clusters, and animate flying birds to create a natural and dynamic environment that feels like it’s teeming with life.· Foliage Motiono Using UE5’s wind node to create motion to the leaves· Bees using Niagarao Using the Niagara particle system to control clusters of bee meshes to make them buzz around· Birds Flyingo Learning how to import a rigged bird character with animation and setting it up in UE5 to fly across the airI am excited for you to share your UE5 environments for your portfolios with me. Go beyond the taught material and make your buzzing bee cluster simulations grander by modelling them and adding animation cycles to them using software, such as Blender.Part 10: Blueprint FundamentalsBlueprint is an essential tool for creating interactivity and functionality in your game. In this part of ‘Creating Stunning Environments in UE5: A Game Artist Bootcamp’, you’ll learn the basics of Blueprint and how to create asset prefab collections, interactable doors, and floating collectables to make your game more engaging and dynamic.· Creating Asset Prefab Collectiono Setting up mesh tiles as a blueprint and as a collection of items to be able to place them in a map that can be then real-time adjusted all at once· Interactable Dooro Changing UE5’s game mode to a first-person perspective.
