Korshub's take
Overview
This is not a conventional motion graphics course — it treats Unreal Engine 5 as an abstract, real-time VFX simulation tool, closer in spirit to Houdini or TouchDesigner than to typical motion design workflows. You'll use Blueprints as a creative coding environment to generate procedural visual effects.
What You'll Cover
- Configuring a project for motion graphics or interactive art
- Using Blueprint code in non-traditional, generative ways
- Building dynamic materials that interact with Blueprints
- Optimizing physics and graphics performance for showcasing
- Turning Unreal Engine into an offline renderer
Who It's For
Best suited to those with Houdini or TouchDesigner experience curious about Blueprint-driven generative work — not recommended for traditional animators or complete beginners to Unreal Engine.
Key takeaway: a creative-coding approach to real-time VFX that pushes Unreal Engine well beyond conventional game development use.
About this course
This course is not really about motion graphics, it’s closer to Houdini VFX motion design. You will be using Unreal Engine as an abstract VFX simulation tool that is generated in real-time. If you are an animator, I generally do not recommend this course. It is more of a creative coding course suited for people with Houdini and/or TouchDesigner experience wanting to see how things are created with Blueprints.
If you are a complete beginner I recommend taking some of my free courses before taking this course, as I skip over concepts that are for new Unreal Engine users. If you think the course is different to what you expected, you are entitled to a refund within 30 days of purchase here on Udemy.
Along the way, you can expect to pick up tips and tricks that will help you in your future real-time generative animation projects, interactive art / installation art projects etc.
