Class overview

This workshop takes you on a journey that starts in Autodesk Revit and ends in UE4, experimenting with Revit data and more complex geometry from 3ds Max. Learn how to use Datasmith to import data and how to embellish a scene with PBR materials using Unreal Engine’s Material system. Explore lighting and how tools such as Lightmass and the Sun Positioner system help bring projects to life. Finally, you’ll package the project into an executable that you can view on any Windows-based system.
