Unreal 3 Updates, overview

adam

Unreal 3 engine can do some pretty things. Who knew?

Coming to an update near you, we're sure, are some fun updates to the Unreal engine. A number of the updates showcased in this video (released by Epic) have been in the UDK for a couple months now so consider this video a proper feature overview.

Not very happy tonight. I am having serious problems with UDK crashing all the time and I'm scared it may cost me my work >_> Can't even register on to the Epic forum because they haven't sent me a confirmation email raaaaaarrrrr!

Emil Mujanovic

So slick!
The depth of field is so yummy!

Glad you're able to wiggle your bacon mits enough to post again Adam!
Awesome updates. Still waiting on real HDR and AA tho...

JordanW

What do you mean real hdr scooby? Ue already renders an hdr frame buffer. You can even control exposure using scene tone mapper scale in the post process.

grey/brown forever!
Anyway, great tech as always!

Nice! I am still on book one of UDK which is outdated as per the new updates.

I didn't think they were ever going to get to seamless day transitions. So many improvements, so little time

Nice release, but.. Huge depending on lightmaps, make me really upset about Unreal Engine ;/ Wish they implement full-realtime lighting, that works fast ;/.

Jimmy,
I love the fact that UE keeps getting changes to the engine that 'betterfy' it. Imagine if it didn't change at all? It'd be horrible!!

is that new DOF system actually usable for anything besides the film-making? alot of games in UDK could really stand to get rid of the awful default gaussian blur setup in favor of real DOF.

The amount of triangles in that scene is ridiculous. That flower is denser than the average character. But still, it's a very good demo and presentation.

That scrolling water texture they applied to the vertical static meshes looked terrible to me. Thankfully though, it was the only thing that popped out to me. EPIC seems to doing its best to remain a competitor in the eye candy race.

The engine itself is quite the beautiful masterpiece but sadly epic fucked over the great title unreal with that last tournament...
they needed to stay focussed on the story but instead have in to making a half asses multiplayer shooter with cars and war of worlds >=P

im quite disapointed caus heres the facts

You can have any of the following 3 work out
*Beautiful graphics, Killer story, and Awesome gamplay

but in reality this is how it is

1. you can have a game with Beautiful graphics and killer story but with shitty game play
2. you can have a game with Killer story and awesome gameplay but with shitty graphics
3. you can have a game with awesome gameplay and Beautiful graphics but with shitty story

honestly i'd rather play epic's first unreal 1 back in the 1990's so i'd choose number 2.
