Description

What's in the course?This course shows you how to block out a level for a multiplayer hero shooter map - all inside unreal. Unreal Engine 5 now has solid built-in modeling tools that enable you to quickly model layouts without ever leaving the editor. It's no longer necessary to import models from programs like Maya or Blender. That back and forth cycle can add up to waste quite a bit of time better spent actually building the game. Who is it for?Aspiring level designers, game designers, modders, or indie developers may find this course helpful in their journey towards a career in the game industry or tighter level design in their solo projects. Some familiarity with Unreal Engine 5 will be useful but not required. Nearly every studio looking to hire are seeking candidates experienced with using the Unreal Engine. Learn the industry standard tool to increase your chances of success in the game industry.After taking the course:If you struggle with designing appealing, gameplay-rich multiplayer maps, this course will demonstrate how to efficiently advance through the steps of designing a solid first pass of a multiplayer map layout. In addition to theory, you'll acquire technical knowledge of how to use UE5's modeling tools. Don't wait to sign up, start today and become a better multiplayer level designer after a few short hours of learning.
