On March 22, new features of Unreal Engine 5.2 came to life.
During the event, the 5.2 update was demonstrated, highlighting the ability to render foliage and procedural world building, as well as other impressive features. The show was presented as one of the attractions of this GDC 2023 that took place from March 20 to 24, bringing many new features and new technology tools to developers.
Unlike previous Unreal Engine 5 demos, which featured rocky landscapes and barren environments, the new demo showed a lively and lush environment, with a car (a Rivian R1T electric pickup truck) making its way through almost photorealistic landscapes.
Everything from vines to rocks to water reacted appropriately thanks to Valve's Chaos physics engine. In addition, Valve introduced its new "Substrate" material structure, allowing developers to quickly change what an object is made of.
For developers, one of the most exciting new features of Unreal Engine 5.2 are the new procedural content creation tools, which allow you to quickly fill expansive, highly detailed spaces with art-driven content that works seamlessly with hand-placed content.
These new procedural content creation tools are considered to be one of the most exciting features of Unreal Engine 5.2 for developers. They allow artists to define highly detailed rules and parameters with art-driven content.
This means that vast and detailed environments can be built more efficiently and quickly, saving time and resources in the production of games and other entertainment projects.
In addition, the new world-building tool was introduced, allowing developers to create vast and detailed worlds on a global scale, with features such as height, geography, and climatology. This tool, combined with the new foliage rendering capability, promises to deliver incredibly realistic and detailed landscapes.
With these capabilities, the production of games and entertainment projects promises to be faster, more efficient, and with a level of detail never seen before. Watch the fantastic presentation in brief:
