Let's create a portfolio.

• You can take the course even without a tablet .
• Please install Blender, Unreal Engine 5, and Photoshop before learning.

Q. To what level can you learn Niagara?

Working with the Niagara Scratch module, you'll learn the basic principles so you can create effects and apply them yourself.

Q. I want to become an effects engineer. Should I listen while attending the academy? Or should I listen before attending the academy?

There is no need to go to a separate academy. Since this is designed for those who want to get a job as an effector, all the content learned at the academy over 6 to 8 months is packed into the LV1 and LV2 content.

Q. I have developed with Unreal, but I have never created effects. Can I take the LV2 course?

If you have no idea how to create effects with Unreal, you should take the LV1 lecture. The LV2 lecture is based on the assumption that you know how to create meshes, create textures, and adjust the timing and color of effects with Niagara.

Q. How soon after taking this course will I be able to get a job?

This course is just the beginning of getting a job as an effector. Depending on how many effects you create each week after taking this course and how much you study effects each week, the speed of getting a job will differ by 1 to 3 years. The academy does not consider each individual's learning speed. For those who are more eager and can learn faster, the academy takes too much time.

I have created this course by condensing the content I learned in 6 months at the academy. Ultimately, the speed of employment is determined by how many effects you can produce.

Q. I'm considering between 3Ds Max and Blender. Which tool would be more helpful for my work?

In the video, the mesh was created using only Blender, but you can also use 3Ds Max. Many companies actually use 3Ds Max. Rather than sticking to just one tool, I recommend that you master the tool you are most confident in, and then learn other tools. To become an effector, you need to get used to handling various tools freely.

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

Please download Photoshop, Blender, and Unreal 5 Engine.

Q. I've been making some effects. Can I get some advice on the effects I've made?
