The Summer of Unreal is a free, 4-week bootcamp focused on teaching the basics of Unreal Engine animation tools.

This event takes place only once a year.

Through project-based learning sessions and free hands-on work, you’ll get a unique learning package from INCAS Training, the world’s first Unreal Authorized Premier Training Partner.

Developed in partnership with the Unreal Engine Team, Summer of Unreal is aimed at animators and digital content creatives in Europe, Middle East or Africa (EMEA) who want to take their business or career to the next level with real-time animation – a skill that is becoming more important every day.

Seats for attendees are limited. No Unreal Engine knowledge is assumed. We’ll start with the basics and then work our way from setting up a project to using fully animated MetaHuman in the training sessions, hands-on exercises, and your own project work. You will work collaboratively and creatively with artists from all over EMEA to find new solutions, learn and develop yourself.
