Once I register, will I automatically be a participant in Summer of Unreal 2022?

No. After your registration we ask you to fill out another form in which we need some data about you (e.g. your LinkedIn profile, industry, work experience). We will check this and confirm your registration if you meet the requirements and belong to the target group. Students, for example, will not be accepted.

Are there any costs for me to participate?

No. Participation in the Summer of Unreal is completely free of charge. Note, however, that to participate you must have your own sufficiently sized gaming PC (which can be costly).

What happens after my registration?

After your registration for the Summer of Unreal you will receive an automatic email confirming the receipt of your data. Afterwards we ask you to fill out another form in which we need some information about you (e.g. your LinkedIn profile, industry, work experience). We will check this and confirm your registration if you meet the requirements and belong to the target group. After that you will receive all further information and your personal access to the community in Discord.

What software do I need besides the Unreal Engine on my PC?

We use ZOOM and recommend that you install ZOOM. Most of the communication takes place in Discord. If you don’t have a Discord account yet, please create one. The use of both tools is mandatory for the participation in Summer of Unreal.

Can I participate only on the days I am interested?

Epic Games and INCAS Training must give preference to those who are willing to commit to the spirit of the entire course. Only those who achieve more than 80% attendance will receive a certificate and the coveted graduation badge, proving your successful participation in the Summer of Unreal. Continuity is also important within project teams. Your absence could hinder your team members.

What happens if I miss a day?

The Summer of Unreal thrives on the community and on everyone sticking with it on a regular basis. If you miss a day or two, it’s no big deal. Usually you can catch up on missed training sessions as a recorded video. But: If you miss more than 20% of the sessions, we can’t give you a certificate of successful participation or the coveted completion badge.

How do teams and teamwork function in joint project implementation?

The participants will be divided into groups of about 20 people for the realization of their own (first) Unreal project and assigned to their own mentor. This mentor will introduce you to the still secret Summer of Unreal project and will support you and everyone in the group to the best of his or her ability in the project implementation. In the last week, all teams internally select their best result to present it to the jury and all other participants on the last day. Maybe to get a place on the winner’s podium.

Do I need to have worked with the Unreal Engine before?

This is not necessary. However, you must have experience with the basics of 3D DCC software, graphics editing or animation.

I live outside EMEA, can I still register?

No. Summer of Unreal is limited to participants who are citizens of and currently reside in an EMEA state.

Are the trainings recorded?

We will provide you with the relevant and knowledge transferring parts as a video recording. What is recorded live will only be made available to course participants for a limited time after the end of the Summer of Unreal. We do not market or sell recorded material. It is there to help participants catch up or review parts of the course to improve their learning.
