The Hyperreal Hive is a dynamic online creative hub and membership for artists passionate about mastering character creation. It's a place to learn, connect, and grow your skills with industry insights and a vibrant community.

All course content and downloadable assets will be accessible through your dedicated member dashboard on the website.

Hyperreal members get full access to my flagship course, Hyperreal Character Creation in UE5, plus all future tutorials as they’re released, plus exclusive monthly masterclasses from leading industry artists, covering specialised topics in character art.

Available in the Hyperreal tier, these are the exact production files I use in my workflow — so you can dissect and learn from real projects.
Included with the UE5 course:

• VFace → Metahuman Texture Transfer Scene

• ZBrush Sculpt Scene

• Maya XGen Groom Scene

• UE5 Look-Dev Project

The course is drip-fed over 9 weeks, so you can follow the pipeline step by step without feeling overwhelmed. Each week unlocks new lessons, and you can check the full release schedule here.
After the course is complete, new tutorials and masterclasses will be added regularly — and you’ll always have on-demand access to the full library.

Payments are securely processed per month on your billing date. You can cancel your membership at any time through your account settings. You'll retain access to your tier's content until the end of your current billing cycle.

If you’re comfortable with the basics of UE5 but want to push your character art to hyperreal quality, this course is for you.

The course runs for around 10 hours of content, released gradually over 9 weeks so you can learn at a steady pace. You can see the full schedule in Hive News.

To follow along with the course, you will need access to Unreal Engine 5.6. Access to industry-standard software for asset creation (such as ZBrush and Maya) is also recommended.

To follow along with this course, a computer with a dedicated graphics card is essential. Unreal Engine 5 is a powerful real-time engine, and a decent GPU is required for a smooth experience, especially when using features like the Path Tracer.
