Testimonials
The Ultimate Lighting Course was the essential breakthrough that shattered my early career frustrations and expertise ceiling in Unreal Engine lighting. This course provided a thorough, practical mastery of key features like light actors, Post Process Volumes, and the Viewport Visualizer, fundamentally transforming my ability to create both physically based and stylized lighting solutions.
In the first 10 minutes of the course, I learned things that I hadn't learned in months of watching YouTube tutorials. Thanks for the wonderful course, I will look forward to it.
Tilmann Milde = Insta-buy! Also Fast-Track is a great standard of quality in tutorials too. I was looking forward for more "Lighting Academy" and years later I find this. Right now I am downloading and eagering to start with it.
Very good and professional course. I regret however that on some videos you can't see the settings window when Tilmann Milde changes them and for someone like me who doesn't have perfect English this is annoying.
Amazing course that has expanded my vision on lighting and cinematics. I definetly recommend watching this course.
