People use the term game changer all too often , in the case of Unreal Engine 5 . It really is just that ! I can ’ t think of a another creative package that is capable of creating such stunning graphics for real-time games , animation , VFX and of course the visualisation and design industries . Whenever I use Unreal I feel I have the keys to the kingdom and can create anything I can imagine .
Unreal Engine 5 ( UE5 ) has a reputation as “ the world ’ s most open and advanced real-time 3D creation tool ” ( source : epic games ). It has many useful features for building photo-realistic and visually impressive worlds including :
Game Engine Animation tools Physics engine Visual scripting system Rendering engine
Although initially made to develop games , UE5 is gaining traction in the industry and learning how to use it offers opportunities in Animation ,
Architecture , Cinematography and Visual Effects to name a few . Despite their differences , these disciplines do have something in common - they ’ re all worldbuilders .
UE5 is a significant upgrade compared to UE4 because of groundbreaking features such as Nanite , allowing visuals with massive amounts of detail , and Lumen , for real-time dynamic light , both of which contribute towards a big leap in visual fidelity .
