A current Sound Director's guide for game company job seekers, Unreal Practical Game Sound Development Skills: Intermediate-Advanced Course

🌿 Class Introduction This course teaches Unreal Engine's Procedural Content Generation (PCG) system with a practical, hands-on approach. You'll learn step-by-step techniques to automatically place complex terrain, roads, trees, lighting, and more, building an efficient environment creation pipeline without repetitive tasks. Rather than simply listing nodes, this course maximizes production speed through a structural approach that can be directly applied to your projects. 🚀 💡 3 Reasons Why This Class Is Special ❶ Production-Focused PCG Approach Focuses on **'project-centered design'** rather than feature listing. By integrating core systems like Landscape, Splines, and Level Instances, you'll build automated pipelines and experience production efficiency at least 3 times faster than manual work. ⚡ �② Complete Integration of PCG Graphs × Blueprints Exposes PCG parameters to Blueprints, creating a structure where artists and programmers can work together seamlessly. With system-oriented PCG design that controls density, meshes, and materials, you'll secure powerful scalability even in large-scale projects. 🧩 ❸ Automation, Efficiency, and Scalability From spline-based automatic placement of roads, streetlights, and fences to implementing material and vegetation changes based on terrain slope. Using 'Difference' and 'Distance' nodes, you'll complete real-world environment automation logic, such as automatically removing forests around roads. 🌲

This course is designed to help you get a job as an effects designer. You can get a job faster and at a lower cost than at an offline academy.

Working as a game designer, you often face moments of uncertainty about how to plan sound design and how to collaborate with the audio team. Questions like "What makes good sound?", "Why does my game lack impact?", and "Why don't scene transitions, UI, combat, and environmental sounds connect into a cohesive experience?" are among the most challenging areas for designers with limited experience. This course is designed for designers with these concerns, explaining sound design principles in a designer's language and helping you understand step-by-step, aligned with actual workflow, what role sound plays in games and how it should be designed. Focusing on core concepts that make up game sound—such as sound direction, impact, feedback, layering, ducking, and trigger design—along with real-world examples, this course is structured to be concrete and practical so that even junior designers without audio expertise can easily understand and immediately apply what they learn to their work. After taking this course, you'll grow from a designer who relies on vague intuition and says "just do it like this" to one who understands various game sound techniques and can proactively lead audio quality.

This course teaches the complete professional workflow for creating high-quality 3D environments using Blender, 3ds Max or Maya, and Unreal Engine 5. Designed for beginners, it guides students step by step through the entire process, from reference gathering and project organization to blockout, modular asset creation, sculpting, UVs, baking, texturing, lighting, and final scene polish. Students will learn industry-standard techniques used in game development, including procedural material creation with Substance Designer, texturing with Substance Painter, vegetation creation with SpeedTree, and environment assembly inside Unreal Engine 5. By the end of the course, students will have a fully finished environment and portfolio-ready screenshots and videos.

This lecture helps you learn about basic terms, concepts, and frameworks frequently heard when using Unreal Engine, and internalize them through practical exercises in simple game development using the engine editor.

Even non-majors, non-developers, and graphic artists can easily learn Unreal Engine. Grow as a Technical Artist through Unreal!
