Created by: Rahmat M
Video Game Developer (Unreal Engine & C++)

What Will I Learn?

• Build fully drivable vehicles with custom physics in Unreal Engine 5.
• Implement deformable vehicle bodies that react to collisions.
• Develop interactive vehicle mechanics like door opening and runtime possession.
• Set up advanced vehicle collision and damage systems.
• Add breakable glass and realistic windshield effects.
• Apply realistic shooting mechanics with bullet decals and damage control.
• Create dynamic UIs that adapt to vehicle and character possession.
• Create destructible vehicles with realistic breakable parts.
• Customize 3D vehicles by importing your own models.
• Add vehicle entry and exit animations with door interactions.
• Design a complete sound system with engine, collision, and glass-breaking effects.
• Implement drifting, braking, and engine start sounds.
• Build vehicle damage textures for a realistic experience.
• Reuse the code and effects for new vehicles created in Blender.
• Master Anim Graphs to handle vehicle animations and interactions.

Requirements
