Blender 3 to Unreal Engine 5 — Dungeon Modular Kitbash

About this course

Updated in May 2025. This course now features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. This course offers a comprehensive approach to modular environment design, focusing on creating a dungeon kitbash pack in Blender 3 and importing it into Unreal Engine 5. You’ll start with Blender basics, covering mesh tools, UV unwrapping, and modifier stacking. As you progress, you'll dive into 3D modeling techniques, building assets like walls, arches, stairs, pillars, and dungeon doors, while learning how to structure assets efficiently for game development. Next, you’ll explore lighting techniques, utilizing HDRI and custom textures to enhance your environment. You'll work extensively with Blender's asset manager and modifier tools, streamlining your workflow and creating variations of meshes. In Unreal Engine 5, you’ll learn to import and apply your assets, set up dynamic environments, and improve visual fidelity with advanced materials, lighting, and post-processing. This course is ideal for 3D artists and game developers looking to level up their skills in both Blender and Unreal Engine 5. Basic familiarity with 3D modeling and game development is recommended, but you'll also get an introduction to foundational concepts and practical techniques.
