Course Description
In this Unreal Engine tutorial we'll learn how to create rain effects in Unreal Engine 4. We'll do this by creating rain drops and editing their functionality. Additionally, we'll create animated sprite sheet textures, water collision variables, lightning, and storm clouds. By the end of this Unreal Engine training, you'll be able to add dynamic weather effects to your games and immerse players deeply into your games. Software required: ZBrush 4R6, Maya 2014, Photoshop CS5.5, Mudbox 2014, Unreal Engine 4, Glueit Sprite Sheet Maker.
