Unreal Shaders Mentorship
With Kurt Kupser | Lead Shader Artist
Currently On Break - Check Back Soon!
Mentorship Info
In this month long mentorhship, the artist will be mentored on leveraging shaders in Unreal Engine 4 to create their assets and environments. To start, the mentor will work with the artist to understand their learning objectives and current skill set, and develop a plan from there. We can start to build a base material library for your projects, deep dive into creating a shader for a specific material, or break down how to tackle a tricky hero asset.
At the end of the mentorship, the artist will have a better understanding of how to incorporate shaders into their art using industry standard techniques and level up their technical understanding of Unreal Engine.
