3D Design in Unreal Engine: Create a Realistic Environment
Design detailed and explorable 3D worlds in Unreal Engine!
In this class, your instructor, Lucas Ridley, will walk you through how to create a realistic environment for any video game characters to explore and interact with in Unreal Engine. From sculpting your landscape and adding foliage and lighting to designing a navigable level layout, you’ll leave this class with the skills needed to create entire worlds for 3D video games.
With Lucas by your side, you’ll:
- Create a basic landscape using Unreal Engine brushes and sculpting tools
- Apply textures and materials like foliage and grass both manually and procedurally
- Build a navigable and challenging level within your landscape
- Discover the differences between a career as an environment artist versus a level designer
Plus, Lucas will show you where you can find foliage, rock and thousands of other free assets, materials and textures to add to your own landscape.
Whether you want to explore a career path as an environment artist or level designer or just create a playable environment to add to your design portfolio, learning how to design a navigable landscape and fun level design will take both your video game design skills and your 3D design abilities to the next level.
To take this class, you should have a basic understanding of Unreal Engine and how to navigate around it. In addition to the Unreal Engine software, you’ll also need a computer and a three button mouse.
Instructor bio:
Lucas Ridley is a professional animator whose work has appeared in films by directors like Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis, as well as in major game studios. Originally from Kentucky, his career has taken him around the world, from Los Angeles to London, contributing to blockbuster projects while also pursuing personal creative work.
Lucas brings that industry experience into teaching, where he focuses on making animation approachable and frustration-free. His goal is to give learners clear, practical guidance to help them build confidence and create with independence.
PMP Exam Prep: Ways of Working for Technical Projects
Pass the PMP® Exam. Linked to the Technical skill area of the PMI Talent Triangle®, this course focuses on the technical aspects of successfully managing projects.
Topics will delve into the core skills of scope, cost, and schedule management and integrating these concepts to develop a master project plan. Participants will also need to demonstrate an understanding of quality, risk, and procurement management and use techniques such as earned value, critical path methodology, and general data gathering and analysis techniques.
This course focuses on the technical skills of successfully managing projects. Topics will include:
1. Estimating
2. Reviewing project management methods
3. Planning for scope, schedule and cost throughout a project
4. Demonstrating some understanding of quality improvement, risk management, and procurement management
5. Applying the concepts of earned value analysis and critical path scheduling technique.
Regardless of the type of project you're working on, staying up to date with proven methods to manage your projects will allow you to get work done as effectively and efficiently as possible. The flexibility demonstrated through implementation of these tools allows project managers to switch between traditional methods when needed or gain new ways of working for different projects.
Making the switch from “traditional” project management to agile is not always straightforward, and it can be particularly challenging for organizations who are accustomed to a predictive environment. However, with the right guidance and support, the transition doesn't have to be overwhelming. This course will help learners gain valuable insight into applying the adaptive techniques (iterative, incremental, or agile) that can make the transition smoother should you choose to do so in your real world projects. Adaptive techniques may feel unfamiliar and cumbersome at first, but with an open mind and some perseverance, the rewards can be great.
By the end of the course, you will be exposed to the tools and techniques to ensure your projects are utilizing the most appropriate methods, tools, and techniques that meet the needs of your project–and meet the expectations of your stakeholders. Learners will discover that project managers can quickly adapt to any new situation they face by focusing on the goals they want to achieve and the value they expect to deliver. They should embrace change and recognize that there will always be new ideas, methods, and technology available for them to adopt.
Additionally, upon successful completion of this course, learners can earn 8 contact hours of project management education which are recognized by the Project Management Institute (PMI). A total of 35 contact hours in project management education are a requirement to those looking to achieve the Project Management Professional (PMP®)certification. Learners will finish this course with increased knowledge of the better practice tips to engage stakeholders and be more than ready to continue their project management and PMP® journey, which we hope completes your certificate with us.

This course equips security and data protection leaders with strategies to securely manage AI within their organizations. Learn a framework for proactively identifying and mitigating AI-specific risks, protecting sensitive data, ensuring compliance, and building a resilient AI infrastructure. Pick use cases from four different industries to explore how these strategies apply in real-world scenarios.
Create an Advertising Concept Testing Study in Qualtrics
By the end of this project, you will discover how to create an Advertising Concept Testing survey in Qualtrics. This type of study will help you measure your target audience’s perceptions of your advertising campaign or a series of campaign ideas prior to finalizing creative and launching a final campaign.
These studies are extremely beneficial in allowing companies and agencies to gather important feedback from the prospective target market. This allows the creative team to adjust the overall concept, imagery, color scheme, and even advertising copy prior to presenting the campaign to the client or executive team. This type of feedback can be vital when it comes to avoiding financial waste and being sure your campaign is relevant for the specified audience(s).
Upon completing this project, you will be able to deepen your understanding of ad concept studies and design an Advertising Concept Testing survey in Qualtrics.
Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.
Google Analytics 4 is the measurement engine behind nearly every modern marketing decision — and knowing how to set it up, read its reports, and act on what it tells you is one of the highest-leverage skills you can develop as a marketer or business owner. Without confidence in GA4, you're guessing about what's working; with it, every campaign and content decision is grounded in real data.
In this course, you'll build a working knowledge of GA4 from the ground up. You'll set up tracking using Google Tag Manager, configure the Google Tag, and create custom events that capture the actions that actually matter to your business. You'll move through every major report category — acquisition, engagement, monetization, user, retention, and advertising — and gain the skills to segment data with comparisons and audiences so you can extract real insight, not just summary totals.
By the end, you'll be able to set up GA4, navigate its reports, and turn analytics data into decisions you can defend.
