The Unreal Engine for Filmmakers course is primarily focused on creating final-pixel, production-ready CGI, VFX, composite shots, and animated films in Unreal Engine, while the NexGen Filmmaker course is focused on using Unreal Engine as a previsualization tool (3D scanning real environments, planning lighting, composition, staging, blocking, etc.) for live-action shooting.

Please check the LightForge Resource Hub and watch the Troubleshooting video on that page. It explains the problem in detail as well as several fixes to the issue.

First, go into the Movie Render Queue. Then, click the dropdown arrow under the “Settings” column, then click the Gear icon next to the “Search Assets” box.

Ensure that you have both “Show Engine Content” and “Show Plugin Content” checked.

When you’ve done this, the LightForge render presets should show up within the Movie Render Queue if you have LightForge enabled in your project.

If they still do not show up, you can also find the Render Presets in your downloaded folder under LightForge > Content. You can copy the .uasset files in this folder into the Content folder of any Unreal Engine project of the same version and they will show up in that project.

Keep in mind that LightForge is currently only supported on Windows computers. If you are on a Mac, please contact us.

Yes. Many students have already enrolled and completed the course on a Mac and had no issues! However, keep in mind that there are currently some features of Unreal Engine which are not supported on Macs, due to their lack of support for Hardware Ray Tracing. Epic Games is working on providing support for these features in the near future, however there are still a few unsupported features including: Path Tracing, Hardware Ray Tracing and Nanite. These will not impact your ability to complete this course!
