Best Courses to Learn VFX for Video games and Cinematic using Unreal or Unity.

3 min readOct 5, 2025

I have chosen these courses based on the year of research on what the best courses are. I have spent more than 3-6 years looking at what the best courses are from Unity, Unreal, VFX, Blender Modeling, Sculpting, or Animation.

Note: keep in mind I didn't choose these courses randomly, it took me years of research and testimony review from a professional animator, 3D artist, who recommended these courses, and lastly, I used my brain and my eyes by looking at the way they teach, the result whether it's if its character animation, impact VFX take any of my emotion as player from here I finaly deciding if they are worthy of your time.

Note: I'm not an animator or VFX Artist, I'm a long-time gamers who know what good animation looks like or VFX effects hit hard when impacting on ground, etc. This is my opinion, I hope I help you reach your dream.
