Course Overview
This course focuses on creating and developing procedures and functions inside industry standard 3D applications and game engines using visual scripting methodology. Students will learn the fundamentals of visual scripting in several 3D applications and game engines through the creation of materials, blueprints, effects, dynamics and event controls. Topics also include creating events and triggers (including collision-based events), developing loops and conditions to execute functions, and performing the required mathematical calculations.
