Udemy – Product Rendering in Unreal Engine 5.6 | Beginner’s Guide
What you’ll learn
Build a complete product-rendering workflow in Unreal Engine 5.6, including materials, lighting actors, camera setup, and render settings.
Create professional studio lighting setups in UE5 by studying real photography techniques and accurately replicating them digitally.
Match a product reference image with precision, including camera angle, contrast, hue, saturation, exposure, and overall mood.
Integrate CGI with live-action images, matching perspective, lighting, reflections, and depth of field for realistic compositing.
Use DaVinci Resolve for product-rendering post-production, including color correction, grading, and film-emulation workflows.
Prepare hero assets for rendering by adjusting models/UVs in Maya or Blender and optimizing materials for realistic results.
Develop creative and commercially viable product compositions, focusing on brand colors, message clarity, and visual storytelling.
Create photorealistic droplets and fine details directly in Unreal Engine without simulations or external tools.
