Description

Welcome to Unreal Engine 5 Beginner’s Guide to Building a 3D Environment course. In this course, we will start from scratch with a simple grey box and then learn how to sculpt out environments. In this course, you will learn how to build a 3D environment by making full use of the Quixel library and all its categories, including 3D assets, surface detail, textures, and 3D vegetation. Next, you will learn how to sculpt out terrains and generate mountains using height map textures. Later, you will learn how to create a reusable water system with waterfalls and how to set up atmospheric sunset lighting. You will also learn how to create fire simulations for the fireplace and bring life into the work by adding birds and fireflies to the environment. By the end of the course, you will be able to build an intricate riverside environment with a fisherman’s hut and a wooden walkway, ready for a new 3D modeling adventure. The course resource pack includes eight unique texture maps to help you set up your own water system and an example texture map of a mountain height map texture.
