In this tutorial you’ll create a zombie horde shooter game with Unreal Engine 5 using blueprints. The game is simple but is packed with tons of behind the scenes features that will allow you to understand the “why” behind the “how” a game is created in Unreal Engine 5.

There are two main issues with visualization when it comes to adjustible meshes (the “body sliders”). The way that all of the customizable character data is stored isn’t actually a body at all, but a common default mesh with offsets for each adjustible value. The engine gives the thumbs up and the model with those values gets rendered.

are done, I have spent the past two months optimizing the rendering engine, both on the CPU and GPU side. Instancing is used to render similar objects (mesh, material and misc settings), reducing the pressure over the rendering API. There are special versions of meshes to render when doing shadow maps or depth pre-pass.

The solution to these problems is to add support for a more traditional lightmapper (pre-baked light texture). Light is precomputed offline and rendered to a texture, which is then used by the geometry. First of all, you need to make sure your meshes have an UV2 layer. Just don't reuse a mesh and instance it in different scales.

This new technique was developed entirely in the open and implemented under our MIT license, so anyone is welcome to use it in their own engines and games. SDFGI is something akin to a dynamic real-time lightmap (but it does not requiere unwrapping, nor does it use textures). What can it do? How do you use it?

In order to deform the mesh according to the bone transforms, each vertex (generally "point of a triangle") can be influenced by up to 4 bones. The actual deformation usually happens in the vertex shader , where the bone transforms get looked up from a texture. (In In rendering, textures are used for sooo many things.
