Unreal Engine enables game developers and creators across industries to realize next-generation real-time 3D content and experiences with greater freedom, fidelity, and flexibility than ever before. UE5 is arguably the world’s most open and advanced real-time 3D creation tool.

Leverage game-changing fidelity

Bring incredibly immersive and realistic interactive experiences to life with ground breaking new features like Nanite and Lumen that provide a generational leap in visual fidelity, and enable worlds to be fully dynamic.

Build bigger worlds

Unreal Engine 5 provides the tools and assets you need to create truly expansive worlds for your players, participants, and stakeholders to explore, using content that scales.

Animate and model in context

New artist-friendly animation authoring, retargeting, and runtime tools—together with a significantly expanded modelling toolset—reduce iteration and eliminate round-tripping, speeding up the creative process.

Unreal Engine is used for :

Games
Film & Television
Architecture
Automotive Design
Broadcast & Live Events
Simulation & more

This Fundamentals of Unreal Engine 5 Bootcamp is designed for trainees who have some knowledge of 3D space whether used for animation, image manipulation or CAD for example, but may have little or no knowledge of Unreal Engine.

The Bootcamp will take place over 2 weeks, with tutor led classes in the morning and projects set for the afternoon, culminating in a student showcase on the last day.

By the end of the two weeks, trainees will have a good grasp of Unreal Engine and should be proficient in its use in a work placement environment.

This Bootcamp is not suitable for seasoned users of Unreal Engine.
