Epic Games Platform Game Engine

Illusionengine5 core technologies

Nanite virtual micropolygon geometry allows artists to create all the geometric details that the human eye can see. The emergence of Nanite virtual geometry means that film and television-quality artwork composed of billions of polygons can be imported directly into Unreal Engine - whether it is a sculpture from Zbrush or a photogrammetry scan.CADdata. Nanite geometry can be streamed and scaled in real time, so there is no need to consider polygon count budgets, polygon memory budgets, or draw times budgets; there is no need to bake details into normal maps or manually edit LODs, and there is no loss of image quality.

Lumen is a fully dynamic global illumination solution that responds to scene and lighting changes in real time without the need for specialized ray tracing hardware. This system can render indirect specular reflection and diffuse reflection that can bounce infinitely in large and detailed scenes; from millimeters to kilometers, Lumen can handle it with ease. Artists and designers can use Lumen to create more dynamic scenes, such as changing the angle of sunlight during the day, turning on a flashlight or opening a hole in the ceiling, and the system will adjust indirect lighting according to the situation. The emergence of Lumen will save artists a lot of time. You no longer need to wait for the light map baking to be completed because you moved the light source in the Unreal Editor, and you no longer need to edit the light map UVs. At the same time, the lighting effects will remain exactly the same as when the game is run on the console.

This leap in quality is due to the efforts of countless teams and technological advancements. To create the giant scenes using Nanite geometry technology, the team made extensive use of Quixel's MegaScans library, which provides film and television-quality objects with millions of polygons. In order to support larger and more detailed scenes than the previous generation, PlayStation 5 has also significantly increased storage bandwidth.

The demo also showcases existing engine features, including the Chaos physics and destruction system, Niagara VFX, convolution reverb and ambient stereo rendering.

Unreal Engine 4.25 already supports next-generation console platforms from Sony and Microsoft. Epic is currently working closely with console manufacturers, multiple game developers and publishers to help them develop next-generation games using Unreal Engine 4.

Unreal Engine 5 will be released as a preview in early 2021 and as a full version later in 2021. It will support next-generation consoles, current-generation consoles, PC, Mac, iOS and Android platforms.
