Learning for Tomorrow – EMEA Initiative 2022 Powerworkshop
Free 5 days power workshop for Unreal Engine 5
The “Learning for Tomorrow – EMEA Initiative 2022” is based on a five-day power workshop in which we give you a hands-on approach to UE5, from the basics of Unreal Engine 5 to creating your own animation sequence. We don’t just want to get you excited about the Unreal Engine in this workshop, we want to give you the opportunity to quickly work creatively and productively with the platform.
