about the course

What will you learn?

This Unreal 5 Modular Environment course teaches students how to break down references and develop a list of reusable modular assets, utilizing trims, tileable and unique texture sets, and working with multiple workflows to determine the best industry-standard method. With this list, students will use Maya and Unreal Engine 5 to create a fully realized environment with portfolio screenshots.

The class will cover Unreal Engine 5, Maya (or equivalent), Substance Painter, Photoshop, Marmoset, and more. By the end of the course, students will understand modular construction and workflow creation of assets, knowledge of the Unreal 5 engine and current-day workflows for asset creation, create proper PBR textures, and generally master material creation for Unreal. Students can also compose, light, and render a scene in Unreal Engine 5. The class will cover: – Unreal Engine 5, Maya (or equivalent), Substance Painter, Photoshop, Marmoset, RizomUV

Course Structure

What will you learn?

Students will learn to observe multiple references and break them into repeated textures and assets. They will then begin with a basic block out of their scene, creating and using modular pieces to fill it up.
Throughout this process, it will be essential to break up the textures into main textures, secondary, and decals. They will also look at the tools that make for the best use of modular workflows.

Students will take the plans they made in weeks 1 and 2 to break up their models and their respective textures into two lists: ones they would like to tackle as tileable and the others as unique.
Students will learn optimization, performance issues, and concerns when constructing scenes in Unreal Engine.
Students will also learn about texture density and proper pixel distribution. We will also begin to discuss nanite asset creation.

Students will learn how to create textures using Substance Painter for tiling and unique texture sets. We will add interesting “story” elements to textures (such as wear, decay, scratches, dust, etc., that tell the story of the texture): albedo, roughness, specular, metallic, and normal maps.
Students will also learn about managing PBR texture values, and ensuring materials follow the proper PBR rule sets.

How to create more advanced shaders that can be used for color variation and exposing parameters in material instances.
Students will also look at creating a master material to control most of the assets within the scene. These features will help make modular pieces look more unique and have less “tiling” inside the engine. It will also cover additional material workflows that can further expand production efficiency.

How to add secondary details to your scene, such as wires/cables, signs, small props, and storytelling: Students will also focus on developing the visual story elements within the scene.
Lastly, students will create additional modular models that can be used as secondary details “on top” of large modular pieces for variation and asymmetry within a scene.

In week 10, students will use everything they have learned to add any additional details, decals, props, and lighting to “finalize the scene.”
Students will also learn how to take the highest quality screenshots within the Unreal Engine 5 and see how “post-process” volumes can add great interest to our scenes. Students will have 5-10 final images of the scene they created and a handful of textures/reusable assets for future scenes.
