The course is so cool! So much information and the presentation is great! I got many answers on the problems, I tried to deal with. And what’s even more important, holistic approach of lighting the scene, from the begining to the finish of polishing the shot.
Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the wonderful course, William!

How many things did change in UE5? How is it different with Lumen and Nanite in UE5? And what’s the difference between Lumen and hardware RTX?

Maybe there will be an update for that course for UE5.
