Description

In this course, you will learn how to create vehicles using 100% blueprints and ready-to-use Unreal Engine 5 assets. You will see how you can import your own assets from Blender, Maya, or Max and set them up. This course is meant for intermediate and expert users of Unreal Engine 5 as the basics of Unreal Engine 5 won't be covered.

Unreal Engine is the world's most open and advanced real-time 3D creation tool for photoreal visuals and immersive experiences. Unreal Engine is a complete suite of creation tools for game development, architectural and automotive visualization, linear film and television content creation, broadcast and live event production, training and simulation, and other real-time applications. This course will cover in detail topics on how to create AAA vehicle in Unreal Engine 5. Starting with the basic setup of the vehicle, we will be using the free Matrix demo scene to kickstart our environment. Then you will add car engine sounds, edit the environment and customize our car, and add logic to our speed meter to work with the car. Following that, you will add friction to your car, set up the car engine, and create and tweak the car's suspension and steering. Next, you will be tweaking and fine-tuning car stats. After that, you will be adding car impact, skidding sound, and creating a particle system for tire smoke. Finally, you will be creating checkpoint logic, setting up timers, and testing our game demo. By the end of this course, you will be confident enough to use Unreal Engine to create functional vehicles. You will be able to create a complete 3D vehicle and its environment from scratch with the help of added assets provided. All the resource files are added to the GitHub repository at: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Unreal-Engine-5---Make-AAA-Game-Vehicles

What You Will Learn

Import and export cars from Blender to Unreal Engine 5
Explore, create and tweak car engine, friction, and suspension
Create the perfect steering for your car
