Unreal Engine is a three-dimensional game engine, with the help of which more than hundreds of games, cutscenes, cinematics, episodes of modern films have been created. It is a modern technology for the development of video games, which makes it possible to create universes and games that exceed the wildest imagination with impressive realism, and it also enables simulation, videos with amazing lighting effects, and the atmosphere of a virtual universe. Epic Games' Unreal Engine is used to create the world’s most popular games: “S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl”, “Hogwarts Legacy”, “Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order”, some Star Wars scenes, and many other unique products.

Students of the EP “Digital Art” got acquainted with the basics of working on the Unreal Engine5. Everyone tried the main tools for working with the landscape and objects: landscape Mode - Scuipt, Paint for creating a surface, worked with assets and Static Mesh in the Quixel Bridge library, and learned to configure Water plugins, also tried to control lighting and, as a result, everyone got their own fantastic world, their own location.
