"Summer of Unreal" Engine Training
Escape Studios - Authorised ATC
Last year's "Summer of Unreal" was the largest Unreal Engine training ever attempted across Europe.  Escape Studios helped over 1,000 industry professionals to learn the Unreal Engine animation tools.

About Unreal Engine
Unreal Engine has become a core part of the Escape games, vfx and animation courses - and fundamental in helping us train our students towards becoming industry ready talent. 

Unreal Engine in Animation
The games industry has long been used to real-time rendering, but the advantages of the technology are now being rolled out for VFX and animation.  The animation department at Escape Studios first began rendering with Unreal Engine in 2018 with the award-winning short Planet Mars, directed by Sebastian Kuder. 

Unreal Engine 23rd - 27th May 2022
Our students will benefit from five days of free training; most will already have some knowledge of 3D software, but we start with the basics and work our way up.  Classes are taught live online and will run from 23 May to 27th May.
