Spezialisierung für Unreal Engine Visual FX, Materials & Interactive Systems

This course is designed to equip learners with a deep, practice-oriented understanding of Unreal Engine’s Cascade particle system. Through a structured, multi-module approach, participants will construct foundational particle systems such as sprite emitters, implement GPU and mesh-based systems for performance and visual complexity, and integrate advanced emitters like beams, ribbons, and animated trails into real-time environments.

Beginning with basic particle generation and manipulation, the course advances into high-performance GPU effects, curve-based control systems, and physics-enhanced emitters that react to skeletal animations and scene geometry. Learners will apply modular workflows, curve editors, vector fields, and material systems to develop expressive, stylized, or realistic particle effects for games, cinematics, and interactive media. By the end of the course, learners will be able to design, assemble, and optimize custom visual effects using Unreal Engine’s powerful particle tools, aligning artistic vision with technical execution.

This course equips learners with the practical skills and conceptual understanding needed to apply and integrate dynamic audio systems within Unreal Engine. Through structured lessons and real-time demonstrations, students will explore foundational audio components, analyze spatial sound behavior, and implement interactive soundscapes using tools like sound cues, mixers, and audio volumes.

By the end of the course, learners will be able to: •Describe Unreal Engine's audio pipeline and playback principles. •Apply audio elements effectively across scenes using sound cues and mixers. •Demonstrate spatial audio manipulation through the use of Audio Volumes. • Integrate environmental responsiveness in sound design to create immersive game experiences. This course is ideal for aspiring game developers, audio designers, and Unreal Engine enthusiasts seeking to elevate their game audio design using proven development techniques.

This course empowers learners to apply core physics principles and implement dynamic simulations using Unreal Engine’s built-in physics tools. Beginning with foundational setups, students will construct physics-enabled levels, manipulate gravity, and configure object behavior to achieve lifelike motion and collisions.

Through a series of progressively challenging lessons, learners will develop skills in working with physical materials, such as friction and restitution, and assign them to objects to control surface interactions. As they advance, they will employ physics constraints to restrict motion, and deploy force actors to simulate real-world effects like explosions and wind fields. By the end of the course, students will have the confidence to synthesize physics systems into interactive environments, ready for use in games, simulations, or virtual experiences. With a blend of guided instruction, practice quizzes, and graded assessments, this course supports both conceptual understanding and technical execution.

This course empowers learners to build a fully playable and visually engaging Pinball Game using Unreal Engine’s Blueprint visual scripting system. Through a structured, hands-on approach across four in-depth modules, learners will explore essential gameplay elements from the ground up. Participants will apply core development techniques by configuring a responsive player environment, construct interactive objects such as bumpers, flippers, plungers, and scoring systems, and integrate collision-based physics and user-controlled mechanics.

The course further guides learners to develop advanced interface components including dynamic scoreboards, player stat displays, and end-game conditions. In the final phase, learners will design and optimize a professional-grade main menu and user interface to complete a polished player experience. Emphasizing both technical precision and design logic, the course challenges students to not only script but also evaluate and refine their gameplay systems for clarity, performance, and player engagement. By the end of the course, learners will have gained practical skills in blueprint logic, physics interaction, UI creation, game state management, and performance optimization, equipping them to build their own interactive arcade-style games or prototype mechanics for more complex projects.

This course equips learners with practical, hands-on skills to build and refine an interactive pinball game using Unreal Engine. Designed for aspiring game developers and intermediate Unreal users, the course walks through the complete workflow—from advanced level design to final gameplay polish.

Students will begin by constructing gameplay environments with spline-based level design and modular construction scripting. They will then apply Blueprint systems to create drop targets, scoring mechanisms, and responsive event-driven gameplay using dispatchers and custom logic. Progressing further, learners will integrate immersive audio and physics elements to simulate realistic ball movement, spinner reactions, and dynamic feedback. Visual fidelity is enhanced through lighting, material customization, and force-based gameplay adjustments. The final module focuses on high-impact polish, including decal layering, UI animation, high score management, and particle systems to reinforce interaction clarity. Each lesson is anchored in Bloom’s Taxonomy, guiding students to apply technical knowledge, construct modular systems, and integrate polished components into a cohesive, production-ready game. By the end of the course, students will have developed not only a visually and functionally rich pinball game, but also the critical Unreal Engine skills needed to scale and adapt these techniques to future game projects.
