The final project of the course is the making of a short horror film, with video output, 360 video, and an executable program. The student will have available the open project in Blender and Unreal, so those who want to focus on animation, for example, without having to learn modeling, can do just the part that interests them.
No previous knowledge of the software is required, just a computer with a video card.
