Even if you don't know anything about Unreal, Blender, Photoshop, or effects, this is a lecture that teaches you everything from the very beginning. You can learn Unreal + Blender + Photoshop at once for effect production, and I think it's a very informative lecture. There are often parts that are skipped due to video editing, but it's at a distance that you can follow along sufficiently. And if you post a question, the instructor will kindly answer it. Lastly, the instructor's voice is so pretty!!

I was looking for a lecture to listen to on creating basic effects and came across this one. Above all, there were almost no lectures based on Unreal 5, so I chose this lecture. Although the lecture content is not much, it was easy to understand even for beginners because it was explained step by step from the beginning, so I was able to follow along comfortably. I also want to try Houdini, so I will wait for the Lv4 lecture~~

From movies to games ✨
the world of VFX that breathes life into the screen!

Effects that determine 70% of the game screen!

Effects in movies (<Thor>)
Effects in games (<League of Legends>)

👉 You will personally create the
most basic yet essential effects
actually used in real game companies.

'Effects' are not well known to many people.
As a result, it is a field that is not easy to learn.

However, effects are so important that they account for more than 70% of the game screen.
I want to share the fun of effects—where you can create whatever you imagine and freely express your own personality—with many people.

In this LV1. Beginner Effect (VFX) course, we will create the most basic effects together from scratch, learning everything from the various tools required for effect production to how to use the latest Unreal Engine 5.
I hope to see more people in Korea creating creative and wonderful effects 😊

A course designed with the fundamentals in mind

It's okay even if you're new to Unreal Engine, have no idea how to use 3D tools, or can't use Photoshop at all. I will teach you everything from start to finish.

I will teach you the fundamental principles of effect creation so that you can continue to apply them to create various effects even after completing the course.

Latest technology perfectly suited for practical work

We do not use the Cascade feature, which is currently discontinued for development in Unreal Engine. Instead, we utilize the ‘Niagara’ feature, which will be essential in the industry moving forward, with the ultimate goal of achieving effect skills that can lead to employment.

Check out the Q&A! 💬 nhé! 💬

Q. I know nothing about VFX; can I still take this course?

It is possible! This course was created for those who know nothing about effects, and I will teach you everything from A to Z. If there is anything missing from the explanation during the course, please leave a question in the [Community]!

Q. What level of proficiency will I achieve after taking this course?

You will acquire very basic level effect-based skills. As this is a foundational course, the curriculum is designed to focus on strengthening the basics of effects.

Q. What kind of work can I do after learning VFX?

You can pursue a career as an effect designer at a game company. Additionally, you can work in various roles across the VFX industry, including film and animation.

Q. Can this be applied to Unity as well?

Unity is not significantly different from Unreal Engine. If you understand the overall process, you can create stunning effects just as you would in Unreal Engine. However, learning Unreal Engine effects specifically to learn Unity effects is the wrong approach. It will be helpful if you study with the mindset of understanding the general process of VFX production. 🙂

Q. There are many other graphic tools out there; don't I need to know all of them as well?

Of course, the more graphic tools you can handle, the better. However, there is a world of difference between just having a superficial knowledge of a tool and being able to apply it properly. Rather than dabbling in various tools, being truly proficient in one is much more advantageous for getting a job.

Q. Is there anything I need to prepare before taking the lecture?

Please download Photoshop, Blender, and the Unreal Engine 5.

Q. I have some experience making effects. Can I get some advice on the effects I've created?

Try applying for [Mentoring]! You can receive 1:1 or group feedback with me.

      Even though it's an Unreal lecture, it's not that hard, and the explanation of Blender and Photoshop is good. The tips are small, but they're good information. What's disappointing is that when I listen to the lecture or move on to the next lecture, I'm a little surprised every time the screen I learned from the previous lecture isn't the one I saw. I go back and look at it to see what I missed. ㅎㅎ; There weren't many of these, but even when there were, it was a little confusing for the lecturer. Still, the instructor taught well, so it didn't feel difficult. I'm looking forward to the next level, and I listened to level 1 well.

            First of all, the instructor teaches well. However, I thought that the instructor only implements the targeted effects for the expensive price. Because of the price, I expected more from the lecture content, and I wanted to hear a more detailed explanation of the system Unreal Niagara is made of, but that was not the case, so I was disappointed. For those who are aiming for an effect career, it might feel like, "Why bother?" considering the lecture price while attending an academy, and for those who are thinking about becoming an effector, it seems okay to take a bite. Conclusion: The instructor teaches well. However, I feel that the price is ridiculously expensive compared to the lecture content.
