SECTION 2 — The Unreal Engine Authorized Instructor Advantage
Why "Authorized by Epic Games" Is the Most Important Credential in Game Design Education
To become an Epic Games Authorized Instructor, a professional must pass rigorous assessment and certification directly administered by Epic Games the American studio behind Unreal Engine, the world’s most widely used real-time 3D creation tool. It is used not just in game development, but in Hollywood virtual production (The Mandalorian, Fast & Furious), architectural visualization, automotive design, live events, and the emerging metaverse.
The Authorized Instructor credential is rare. There are very few Epic Games Authorized Instructors anywhere in India and Pikazzo is the only institute in North India with one in-house, teaching full-time as part of the core faculty.
What This Means for You as a Student:
Curriculum Aligned to Global Studio Standards The course content, project structure, and teaching methodology follow Epic Games’ own educational framework, the same framework used by universities worldwide that are officially recognized by Epic. You’re not learning from adapted YouTube tutorials or outdated course material. You’re learning from the source.
Techniques That Are Actually Used in Production An Authorized Instructor doesn’t just know how to use Unreal Engine they know how it is used in real production pipelines at professional studios. The shortcuts that actually save time. The workflows that studios actually use. The rendering techniques and optimization strategies that real game projects actually require. This is knowledge that can’t be found in any online course.
Real Unreal Engine 5 Features — Nanite, Lumen, Metahuman, PCG Unreal Engine 5 is a generational leap over UE4. Our instructor teaches you its most powerful and industry-defining features: Nanite virtualized geometry, Lumen global illumination, Metahumans digital character creation, Procedural Content Generation (PCG), and Chaos Physics, the tools that define what is possible in real-time 3D today.
Industry-Recognized Credibility for Your Portfolio When a game studio, VFX company, or architectural visualization firm sees that you trained under an Epic Games Authorized Instructor, your portfolio and credentials carry significantly more weight. It signals technical depth, professional-level knowledge, and genuine industry-grade training.
SECTION 3 — What You Will Learn
The Complete Game Design Skill Stack Art, Engine, Design
Game Design Theory & Game Thinking Before building anything, you’ll learn how great games are designed. Game mechanics, player psychology, reward systems, level pacing, narrative design, UI/UX for games, and how decisions made at the design level determine whether a game is enjoyable or forgettable. This is the creative intelligence that separates good game designers from great ones.
Concept Art & Visual Development Every game begins with visual ideas on paper (or screen). You’ll learn concept art fundamentals sketching characters, environments, props, and creatures and translate those concepts into reference-quality artwork that guides the 3D production pipeline.
3D Modelling, Characters, Environments & Props You’ll model game assets from scratch in Autodesk Maya the two dominant 3D tools in the game industry. Hard-surface modelling for environments and props, organic modelling for characters and creatures, game-ready topology (low-poly vs. high-poly workflows), and UV unwrapping for texturing.
Texturing & Surfacing, Substance Painter Raw 3D models need surface texture maps, material properties, wear and tear, weathering. You’ll learn professional texturing in Adobe Substance Painter creating PBR (Physically Based Rendering) texture sets that look photorealistic inside Unreal Engine.
Character Design & Sculpting, ZBrush For character-focused students, you’ll learn digital sculpting in ZBrush, the industry standard for high-detail character and creature sculpting used in AAA games, films, and collectibles. You’ll sculpt hero characters, retopologize for game use, and bake high-detail normal maps.
Rigging & Animation for Games Characters in games need to move. You’ll learn game-character rigging in Maya building joint hierarchies, skinning, and creating the animation rig that game animators use. You’ll also create a library of gameplay animations idle, walk, run, jump, attack and implement them inside Unreal Engine.
Unreal Engine 5 Full Pipeline (Authorized Instructor) This is the core of the entire course and the deepest, most comprehensive UE5 training available in North India. With instruction from our Epic Games Authorized Instructor, you’ll master:

Optimization & Performance Profiling for PC, Console & Mobile
Level Design Level design is one of the highest-demand and highest-paying specializations in the game industry. You’ll study the principles of great level design, spatial storytelling, player flow, encounter design, and difficulty pacing and apply them by building complete levels from whitebox prototype to polished final environment.
VR / AR Game Development You’ll learn to build immersive experiences for Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality platforms using Unreal Engine 5 covering VR interaction design, AR marker detection, spatial UX, and deployment for Meta Quest, HTC Vive, and mobile AR platforms.
Game UI / UX Design Every game needs an interface. You’ll learn to design and implement game HUDs, menus, inventory systems, and in-game UI using Unreal’s UMG (Unreal Motion Graphics) system covering player experience principles, accessibility, and the visual language of game interfaces.
AI in Game Design The game industry is transforming with AI-generated assets, AI-assisted level generation, and procedural content tools. You’ll learn to use AI tools including Midjourney for concept art reference generation, AI-powered texture creation, and how to integrate AI asset generation into a professional game production workflow.

SECTION 6 — Why Choose Pikazzo
Why Pikazzo Is the Best Game Designing Institute in Chandigarh
The Only Game Design Institute in North India with an Epic Games Authorized Instructor This is the single most important reason to choose Pikazzo for game design education in North India. An Epic Games Authorized Instructor credential is not bought, it is earned through rigorous assessment by the company that built Unreal Engine. Having one in-house, teaching full-time, means every student at Pikazzo learns UE5 to a standard that matches Epic’s own global education programs. No other game institute in Chandigarh, Mohali, or anywhere in North India can make this claim.
UE5’s Most Advanced Features Taught Properly Most institutes cover basic Unreal Engine navigation and simple Blueprints. Pikazzo teaches Nanite, Lumen, MetaHuman, PCG, Chaos Physics, and Virtual Production the professional-level features that actually determine your employability at a serious studio. These are not beginner tutorials. They are the real tools of the real industry.
A Complete Creative + Technical Education Game design is not purely technical (programming and engines) and it is not purely artistic (3D modelling and concept art). It is both. Pikazzo is a creative arts and technology academy which means we are uniquely equipped to build both the creative and technical dimensions of a complete game designer. Our curriculum covers the full pipeline from concept sketch to deployed game.
9+ Years of Creative Arts Training Serious Creative Foundation Most game programming institutes teach software without teaching creativity. Pikazzo’s 9+ years of creative arts training means our students have a genuine design sensibility; they understand composition, color, storytelling, and visual communication skills that elevate a game artist from technically competent to genuinely exceptional.
Real Game Project Build Not Toy Exercises Every student at Pikazzo completes a real, playable game project as their course capstone built in Unreal Engine 5 or Unity, polished to portfolio quality, and suitable for submission to studios and indie publishing platforms. Your portfolio will contain a real game, not a series of disconnected exercises.
VR/AR & Metaverse Future-Ready Skills The game industry is expanding into VR, AR, and metaverse territories at extraordinary speed. Pikazzo’s curriculum includes dedicated VR/AR development modules, ensuring graduates are equipped not just for traditional game studios but for the next wave of immersive experience platforms.
