Learn the fundamentals of modeling with a focus on best practices for VFX artists. We’ll explore how to use UV layouts effectively to support your real-time effects workflow.

Get comfortable inside Unreal Engine. This session covers the editor interface, how to import assets, and the basics of lighting and post-processing to prepare your scenes for visual effects.

Discover how VFX artists use the Material Editor. You’ll learn to treat UV space as a creative playground and start building shaders that react and evolve in-game.

Dive into Niagara, Unreal Engine’s powerful particle system. We’ll break down its internal structure and explore how and why particles behave the way they do - from logic to visual output.

A deeper dive into shader techniques. You’ll create a stylized bonfire using everything you've learned so far, and integrate it into a playable level for context and polish.

Level up your Niagara skills by creating a semi-realistic tornado effect. Animate key parameters using the Sequencer and bring your scene to life with motion and atmosphere.

Throughout the course, you’ll also work on your final project: designing and building a stylized portal using all the techniques you learn week by week — combining shaders, particles, animation, and scene integration into one showcase-worthy effect.
