Our Verdict
An excellent starting point for mastering Unreal Engine's landscape editing tools! Although some content may not be fully up-to-date with UE5, the course excels in providing rich and valuable information through its well-structured syllabus. You can rest assured that essential techniques and concepts remain highly relevant today. Some nuances specific to newer versions of Unreal Engine will warrant further independent study or exploration.
