Nvidia Omniverse Create - Yes, this is digital as well as a playable game demo
Unreal Engine Metaverse Foundations has been created to help those in industry to develop the skills needed to create immersive virtual environments that can be used for contextual reference and global collaboration.
​​​
Throughout this course, participants will engage in many hands-on projects to create various virtual worlds. While there will be many types of exercises, our focus is on the aerospace and automotive application of this technology.
The Unreal Engine editor is key to designing realistic environments.
You'll learn to create landscapes, structures, manipulate lighting, and add textures,

Unreal Engine Interface
From the Unreal Engine 5 Tech Demo
To help your learning and proficiency with the various tools, additional projects are also available outside of class to reinforce skills and explore concepts at your own pace.
​
Learn about ArchViz (Architectural Visualization) and how other software like Twinmotion that allows architects and designers to create real-time 3D renderings of their projects.
Twinmotion Interface
Model from our Blender Industrial Design Course
Learn how Blender 3D design software can be used to create and texture assets that can then be used inside the environments you design in Unreal Engine.
​
This, and other software are all a part of a fairly complex workflow or pipeline that you'll learn about as you work through the course projects.
All these software tools enable faster and more detailed design of your virtual environments.
​
Using these as collaborative elements, designers, architects, and other professionals can showcase their ideas and concepts with ease.

With advancements in 3D design software, virtual and augmented reality technologies, the opportunities in the metaverse concept will continue to expand, providing new prospects for work, study, socialization, entertainment, and commerce.
And of course Artificial Intelligence is playing a part in this workflow. We'll use AI generated images in class as reference imagery for models or entire scenes.
