The Real-Time Artist Accelerator: Holiday Edition provides a structured learning pathway into Unreal Engine and Virtual Production. This bundle combines foundational training with technical artist progression, version control essentials, and real-time optimisation skills used in professional virtual art departments.
Learners move through each course in sequence, covering Unreal Engine navigation, scene construction, materials, lighting, performance considerations, and on-set virtual production workflows. The programme includes three live online masterclasses with industry practitioners and access to a Discord community for ongoing support.
Across six core courses and expert-led sessions, students gain practical experience building real-time environments, understanding production pipelines, and preparing work suitable for junior roles in virtual production and real-time 3D teams. This pathway is intended for creatives with or without prior Unreal experience who want to develop the skills required for entry-level positions such as Virtual Art Department Artist, Unreal Generalist, or Junior Technical Artist.
Who this is for
Creatives, filmmakers, designers, and storytellers who want to transition into real-time 3D, virtual production, or technical art. You don’t need to be a programmer. You only need curiosity, commitment, and the desire to work in the future of content creation.
Where this takes you
By the end of this pathway, you’ll be producing real-time worlds. You’ll understand the workflows behind virtual sets. You’ll have a portfolio that reflects real industry tasks. And you’ll be ready for junior roles such as:
- Virtual Art Department Artist
- Unreal Generalist
- Real-Time Environment Artist
- VP Junior Technical Artist
- Real-Time Previs Artist
- On-Set VP Support
Studios everywhere are building real-time capability. They need new talent. This bundle gives you the skills and structure to step into those opportunities with confidence.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need previous Unreal experience?
No. Intro to Unreal is designed for beginners. If you already know the basics, you will move through that module faster and get more value from the Technical Artist and Optimisation courses.
How much time do I need each week?
Plan for 5 to 8 hours per week. That is enough time to watch lessons, build scenes, and review or refine your work. The more time you put in, the more you will get out.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes. You will receive completion certificates for the pathway that you can share with employers or add to your portfolio and LinkedIn profile.
Does this guarantee me a job?
No course can guarantee a specific job. What this accelerator does is give you skills, workflows, and portfolio pieces that align with what real studios use and hire for. It shortens the distance between where you are now and where you want to be.
What if I cannot attend a live masterclass?
All masterclasses are recorded and made available to enrolled students. Live attendance is recommended so you can ask questions, but it is not mandatory.
