Unreal Engine is a popular game engine that is widely known for developing high quality 3D games and VR simulations. However, it is not limited to just game development, and it has many features that can be utilised in other areas as well, such as animation and cinematics. Unreal Engine offers a powerful toolset that enables animators and filmmakers to create high-quality animations with ease.
The use of Unreal Engine in cinematics and animations is steadily growing and more directors and artists are using the tool to create short and feature length animations.
This course is ideal for beginners or those with no to little experience of Unreal Engine who want to get up and running making animations in the software. Whilst providing an introduction to the software, the user interface and an overview of the animation workflow. This course focuses on providing a hands-on approach to creating animations and cinematics inside of Unreal Engine. The attendees will be provided a solid foundation and be ready to go on to create longer and more advanced animations after attending this course.
One of the key features of Unreal Engine that makes it ideal for animation and cinematics is its high-quality real-time rendering capabilities. With real-time rendering and playback, animators can see the results of their work without having to wait long periods for the rendering process to complete. This allows for a more efficient workflow, as changes can be made on the fly and the results can be seen immediately. Additionally, Unreal Engine’s advanced lighting and shading systems enable animators to create realistic and cinematic environments that can enhance the visual appeal of their animations.
The Unreal marketplace, Metahumans and Quixel Megascans offer a wide variety of high-quality assets that can be easily imported and used in any animation or cinematics. Unreal also does not limit users to just one style and the art style, colours and models are all very flexible and dependent on what the user requires and can create. Assets can be built outside of the application with any 3D modelling software and imported into the engine.
Overall, Unreal Engine provides a powerful and versatile platform that can be used to create high-quality animations for a wide range of use.

Unreal Engine 5 Zero to HERO course is created for developers, teachers, and students that are new to Unreal Engine 5. In this project-based workshop, the disciple is introduced to the Unreal Engine 5 workspace and typical project work procedures.
Assumed Knowledge
Attendees require only a very general knowledge of C++ but it’s not necessary.
Unreal Engine only exports video out as image sequences – so an editing software such as Davinci Resolve (which has a free download option) or Adobe Premiere is required for editing and playback of image exports. A free program called DJV can be downloaded to view back image sequences in real time (but has no editing features).
This course uses pre-made character animations and whilst it will provide an overview of how these are created, it will not give training on character animation as this is a different skill set and uses different tools such as Blender or Maya.
