Unreal Engine: Physics Simulations

This course empowers learners to apply core physics principles and implement dynamic simulations using Unreal Engine’s built-in physics tools. Beginning with foundational setups, students will construct physics-enabled levels, manipulate gravity, and configure object behavior to achieve lifelike motion and collisions. Through a series of progressively challenging lessons, learners will develop skills in working with physical materials, such as friction and restitution, and assign them to objects to control surface interactions. As they advance, they will employ physics constraints to restrict motion, and deploy force actors to simulate real-world effects like explosions and wind fields. By the end of the course, students will have the confidence to synthesize physics systems into interactive environments, ready for use in games, simulations, or virtual experiences. With a blend of guided instruction, practice quizzes, and graded assessments, this course supports both conceptual understanding and technical execution
