Before you dive into the world of 3D animation, get to know your teacher, Giorgio Macellari. Discover how he became a motion designer and creative director and hear about the experiences and influences that have shaped his career and continue to inspire him today. Begin with an overview of the final project, install Unreal Engine 5 on your computer, and explore the interface. Learn how to work with the program’s main features before seeing the latest additions, like the new modeling mode and the new illumination system called Lumen. Once you’ve got the basics, it’s time to plan out your project. Put together a mood board to gather ideas and create a storyboard to give your project direction. Next, Giorgio teaches you how to model different objects, arrange them in your scene, and add the perfect lighting. He also shows you how to animate your objects and manage multiple cameras. Finish up the course with the post-production phase. Make some final adjustments to your project and render it into a fun and colorful animated bumper.
