Blender to Unreal Engine 5 - 3D Props - Medieval Windmill [Video]

Overview of this book

In this course, we will be creating a medieval windmill, an intricate medieval asset requiring mechanical knowledge full of life through 3D animation. Our focus will be on creating realistic and fully functional subcomponents for our windmill, which will include an intricate set of wooden supports, balconies, stairs, a waterwheel, and windmill arms. You will learn how to use keyframes to key in different animations to the parts we want to animate. These will include our medieval windmill’s waterwheel, windmill arms, and windmill sign. Next, you will learn how to take control of your scene’s aesthetics through an HDRI system for lighting. You will also learn how to create your own materials using the shared textures and learn all about the gamma, hue, saturation, and some world Blender nodes. Finally, we will deep dive into Epic’s all-new Unreal Engine 5. You will learn everything, right from importing animations from Blender to having them work correctly in Unreal Engine 5 to render in real-time and creating our own portfolio gradient skybox! By the end of this course, you will be able to create your own 3D medieval windmill asset for your game.

Section 1
HDRI and the Eevee Renderer
This lesson will introduce you to the Eevee Blender renderer. Eevee replaced Cycles renderer in Blender 2.8, and this lesson will be an introduction to using it. You will also find out how to use HDRIs as backgrounds for your 3D models such as this medieval windmill.
