CGMA – Shading and Material Creation in Unreal Engine

本课程的目的是教学生如何学习基础知识并习惯基于节点的着色器系统，无论是在Unreal Engine还是其他纹理创作程序或引擎中。他们将在虚幻引擎Unreal Engine中为视频游戏创建材质和纹理。学生将学习在模块化的基础上创建材质，并了解通过行业中的视频游戏制作使用的各种高级材质，例如顶点绘画、植物着色、景观材质系统和其他复杂的着色器。在课程结束时，学生将了解如何创建在生产中的许多团队中使用的各种类型的主材料，例如；道具、环境、角色、特效和灯光/电影。

Title: CGMA – Shading and Material Creation in Unreal Engine

Info:
Create master materials in Unreal Engine

Unreal Engine, Substance Designer/Painter or any other Program to create textures

The objective of this course is to teach students how to learn the basics and get accustomed to Node Based shader systems, whether in Unreal Engine or in other Texture Authoring Programs or Engines. They will create materials and textures for video games in Unreal Engine. Students will learn to create materials on a modular basis and learn about various advanced materials used through Video Game productions in the Industry such as Vertex Painting, Foliage Shading, Landscape Material systems and other complex shaders. By the end of the course, students will have knowledge on how to create various types of Master Materials used across many teams in Production like; Props, Environment, Characters, FX and Lighting/Cinematics.
