One of Skillshare’s most popular animation teachers, Lucas Ridley first got into 3D animation when searching for a way to work on film projects with realistic characters, captivating settings and riveting storylines without needing to scout a location, get filming permits, hire actors and rent expensive equipment. Now a professional 3D animator and filmmaker, Lucas has been able to work on movies like Avengers Infinity War and Disney’s Aladdin as well as video games like The Last Of Us Part 2 and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League—right from his desk. After building a successful career, Lucas wants to share how you can use 3D animation to create your own films or video games. In this class, Lucas will teach you how to use Unreal Engine to make an entire video game using game logic, a timer and obstacles for any video game character to try to conquer.
