Stylized VFX in UE5

If you are comfortable with working in Unreal Engine, but want to expand your knowledge in Stylized VFX using Unreal Engine, this course is a good fit for you.

Before starting this class, you should have basic knowledge about:
- Hand-crafted VFX textures
- Hand-animated 2D FX flipbooks
- Meshes to be used in VFX
- Materials or shaders for VFX

If you are not there yet, don't worry our Beginner Bootcamp will bring you right up to speed!

This is a hybrid class with both live classes and pre-recorded lessons. 

1-hour long live lectures are held every Monday at 07:00 PM CDT (GMT-5)

In addition, students are invited to daily lab hours and a supplemental review session each Thursday. These sessions are not mandatory, but will help you progress your skills with fellow classmates. 

Recorded lessons provided with your All Access FX Course subscription can be watched at any time.

Dedicating an average 14 hours per week, you will see substantial growth and progress in your VFX skills.

If you are able to invest more than 14 hours per week, that's great too! You'll find an over-achieving approach can get you even further in this class.

There are no strict requirements. It is suggested you have a type of animation software (Adobe Animate, Toon Boom Harmony, etc), a digital painting tool (Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint, or Krita), and an installed version Unreal 5.6.1 or higher. 

There are a variety of software options, both paid and free, for you to use in this class. 

We recommend planning ahead for the 8 weeks. Do what you can to clear your schedule and make sure you connect to the Community Discord.

Don't worry about doing too much VFX work in advance, so you'll avoid burning out before classes start.

For those who want to practice, our All Access class includes introductory lessons for all required skills. You will unlock the All access content with your purchase of the Stylized VFX in UE5 class.

The course is designed to be an intensive 8-week training. While we understand life can get busy, we recommend waiting for the next session if you can't dedicate your time for this session.

Keep in mind that while you keep the curriculum materials for up to a year, you will not have access to mentor feedback after the Class ends.
