Perforce Workshop: Revision Control and Collaboration
Stop struggling to get Perforce to work!
If you're using Unreal Engine and want to:
- Collaborate with others on a UE project
- Store versions of your work
- Backup your work and recover after project corruption
- Increase your employability, whether you're working in games, film, or any other field where teams collaborate on Unreal Engine projects
...then you need revision control, and Perforce Helix Core (commonly referred to as Perforce), the industry standard.
Every film and games studio requires it, yet knowledge of how to use and install it is very hard to find. Its a highly sought after skill, and helps you work as an independent artist too.
Taught by Edward Dawson-Taylor, Senior Tech Artist, CG Pro's Head of School, Unreal Authorized Instructor and long time educator.
