This course teaches learners how to utilize real-time ray tracing techniques for architectural visualization in Unreal Engine. By the end of the course, students will be able to adjust lights for real-time ray-traced shadows and global illumination, use ray-traced reflections and translucency options, and debug ray-traced scenes. The course covers topics such as enabling ray tracing, working with physically based materials, adjusting lighting, and optimizing ray tracing settings. The teaching method includes a product demonstration by a Technical Artist, with a focus on practical application and hands-on learning. This course is intended for individuals interested in enhancing their skills in architectural visualization using Unreal Engine.
