Where to learn game VFX?

Hey wonderful people, does anyone know where can I learn game VFX part-time in Malaysia?
Software wise I am picking up Unreal Engine 4 because of how many things it can do.

Even as a newbie I find Youtube tutorials sorely lacking in terms of structure and completion.
For example, after leaning how to make a fireball, I can't seem to find a guide that shows how to export it out, or bind it to an animated object / mesh.

Graphic Design Industry Doomed in Malaysia?

What do you guys think of the graphic design industry in Malaysia today?

As a brand and graphic designer who has worked here for almost 3 years (I am 24), here are some of my 2 sens:

- Design is seen less of a necessity and more of an adjunct to people both young and old,
- Many young local artists and designers do not know the business language,
- Many old corporate and organizations don't pay very high for graphical design services (since it's not important to them),
- Look at the logos for Visit Malaysia 2020, Kuala Lumpur etc.
- Bad logic symmetry eg: I drive BMW but my business only needs Kancil level of design quality (and price)

I said 'doomed' because:

- Many Malaysians don't understand + don't care about design value on businesses,
- Not many are willing to pay high for this service,
- I see many frustrated young designers doubting themselves (if they have entered the wrong industry),
- There are countries where designs are highly valued and appreciated (UK, US, namely westerns), why is that?

I would like to hear your thoughts on this, whether you are a designer or not.
