Looking for 3D artists to learn Unreal Engine together and start a small game project (for fun and learning)

Hi everyone,
I'm a 3D artist looking for one or more people to start learning and experimenting with Unreal Engine together. The idea is to create a relaxed and collaborative environment where we can explore game development as a group, even if we're just starting out.

The goal isn't necessarily to build a finished or polished game—we're doing this mainly for fun, learning, and personal growth. I'd prefer to team up with other 3D artists, ideally beginners or people with little to no development experience, so we can learn the technical side of Unreal together while coming from a shared artistic background.

We could start with small, simple projects to get comfortable with the engine and gradually build up our knowledge. The focus at the beginning will be on learning Unreal Engine itself—understanding its tools, systems, and workflows as artists trying to bridge into game dev.

This is meant as a passion project, not something with commercial pressure. Still, if something cool comes out of it down the line, I'm open to the idea of putting it on Steam or similar platforms.

I'm also open to creating a Discord group where we can exchange ideas, share resources, and follow each other’s progress as we improve.

If this sounds interesting to you, feel free to comment below or send me a messa
