Description
Gaea is a world-class terrain creation software widely used in the gaming and film industries. In this beginner-friendly course, you'll be introduced to the fundamentals of Gaea, learning how to create realistic terrains from scratch and import them into Unreal Engine.
UPDATE 25th October 2024: Videos on Gaea 2 are in the making, the first video is already included in the course (How to install and use the Gaea 2 plugin for Unreal Engine).
This course is ideal for beginners interested in 3D environments. You'll start with the basics of Gaea and get a brief introduction to Unreal Engine. A significant portion of the course focuses on using Gaea's graph-based node editor, allowing you to harness its power to create stunning terrains.
No prior experience with Gaea or Unreal Engine is required. Both software options offer free versions, making this course accessible to anyone eager to explore terrain creation.
You'll discover how Gaea's node-based system enables non-destructive creation and how procedural generation techniques can effectively mimic natural formations. After completing your work in Gaea, we'll move on to exporting the terrain and importing it into Unreal Engine 5.
Please note that this is a Gaea-focused course. It does not cover foliage, materials, etc. in Unreal Engine. However, by the end of the course, you'll have a terrain in Unreal Engine, ready for further decoration.
Who this course is for:
Beginner to intermediate artists
Game developers and environment artists
3D modelers and digital artists
