With a note on the official website and a notification on the game launcher, Epic Games has announced the rollout of the 5.2 update to the game engine Unreal Engine 5with a series of long-awaited novelties by the public and insiders.
The colossus of Tim Sweeney and associates, in fact, had already whetted our imagination with an incredible one tech demo at State of Unreal 2023 produced in collaboration with Rivian and its R1T SUV.
The set of tools available to developers expands with truly remarkable features, including the new procedural terrain generator, capable of shape and change entire environments on the flyas we could observe in the video of the forest.
Along with this tool, the new system has also been talked about for a long time Substrate shadingwhich can make aging and dirt effects on surfaces and beyond even more realistic.
Additionally, the new build officially introduces support for Apple “M” Silicon processors on Unreal Editor, a host of new video editing tools, and a taste of the tech ML Deformer which, with the help of Machine Learning, promises to improve the credibility of the deformation effects of the body, skin and clothes based on the muscle mass of the character.
To find out more, we suggest taking a look at official changelog on the manufacturer’s website.
