Edge BY PEARL ACADEMY is now an Unreal Authorized Training Center

Unreal Engine is the world’s most powerful real-time 3D creation tool used to build games like PUBG and the recent Star Wars Mandalorian series. Developed by Epic Games – the makers of Fortnite – Unreal Engine powers diverse fields like Game Design and Development, Architectural and Product Visualisation, and Virtual Production. 

Unreal Engine is now used to provide holistic and real-time experiences to customers across a wide range of industries such as movies, games, advertising, hospitality, architecture, and live events. This has created a huge global demand for talented 3D artists and UE-trained professionals. Irrespective of what creative field you are in, a foundation in Unreal Engine is vital for a career in Game Development or Virtual Production.  

EDGE is the first institute in India to offer Unreal Engine Master Certificates in Virtual Production. Apart from these, it offers courses such as Master Certificate in Videogame Production, Meta Game Design and a three-month Bootcamp program on Unreal Engine. 

 Our Master Certificate in Virtual Production is a fully integrated training program that you can join even if you have no prior experience or background in Computer Graphics (CG), Visual Effects (VFX) or Game Design, but you must be a passionate storyteller and a hard worker. 

 The Master Certificate in Meta Game Design will help you understand and learn how to build content for game engines, master the art and technology of visualising futuristic digital worlds, and creating your own multiplayer experiences for the web and VR. 

 The Master Certificate in Videogame Production will teach you to create your own videogames. It will prepare you to face any creative challenge that might arise in the course of your job. 

You can use our Bootcamp program to learn how to leverage the power of Unreal to get ahead in your animation and gaming career. 

 Our Unreal Authorized faculty members include Mazdiar Santoke, Raj Salagre, and Prashanth P. 

 Santoke has worked in a number of Hollywood, Bollywood, and South Cinema projects as a VFX Artist, while Salagre is a gaming enthusiast and specialises in Game Design, Level Design Augmented Reality, and Architectural Visualisation with Unity and Unreal Engine.

Congratulating EDGE on the achievement, AVGC veteran Ramesh Anumukonda, Consultant, Epic Games Education, said, “Edge offers the best mentorship and masterclasses.
