CGMA – Organic World Building in UE5

A 10-week course in which students will create a fully textured, game-ready environment in UE5

In this course, students will create a game environment from scratch in Unreal Engine 5. Lectures will cover the entire process from start to finish: reference gathering and blockout, sculpting organic assets, creating textures and shaders, incorporating set dressing, lighting and adding atmosphere, and post-processing and rendering the scene. Along with Unreal, students will use Substance, ZBrush, and SpeedTree to create their environments, as well as learn how to incorporate scans in a 3D environment workflow. By the end of the course, students will better understand level and environment workflows, and have all of the tools needed for a polished and presentation-ready game environment. Lecture videos will use Unreal Engine 5, but students may use UE4 or UE5.
