This course will take you through key concepts regarding Unreal Engine’s Blueprint scripting system as well as Metasounds. As someone using Unreal Engine every day professionally, I have a good sense of what people should know and be comfortable with when embarking on this sound design journey in Unreal Engine. This course will give you the confidence and abilities to work on other people’s games and be able to navigate a project and hit the ground running by placing sounds in Blueprints and Metasounds. The concepts taught in this course have scalability in mind, and would be acceptable in a professional environment.
While sound design, itself, is not a focus of the course, there are sections where you are asked to create some sounds to use in the game. However, if you do not wish to do so, all sounds used by the instructor will be available to download when needed. The course does not require you to have any prior knowledge of computer programming or visual scripting languages. All of these things are taught on the assumption that the student has not used software such as this before. Some computer science topics are mentioned, but only in order to facilitate your ability to embed your sound design into Blueprint scripts.
