Unreal Engine is an open and advanced real-time 3D creation platform. Evolving from its state-of-the-art use in game engines into a multitude of industries, Unreal Engine is an open and advanced real-time 3D creation platform. Balancing quality and performance is done by controlling the game’s internal rendering resolution.

We switched it back to disabled by default for all platforms. The new NavigationServer adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. Fixes a lot of issues with KinematicBody collisions at the intersection between meshes when using Bullet.

And for more advanced use cases, there is now also TextMesh to generate 3D meshes from font glyphs, so you can add Word Art to your scenes ;). and backported to 3.5.

Just set up the probe bounds and do a fast pre-bake of static objects. Still, this workflow is easy and efficient as 3D objects get a second set of UVs generated on import, and baking works with instantiated meshes, scenes and even GridMaps. Here is an example using the older 3D platformer demo: VR support.

This, together with dynamic or baked-in lighting and shadows, enables the creation of amazing photorealistic material that nevertheless operates in real time. The shapes used to create meshes inside the game engine are called polygons. Its blend of development- and artistic-focused tools allows for unrestricted creative expression.

In this build, we also built it for 32-bit platforms (armv7 and x86) as there was some demand for it, so you'll find the APK is a bit heavier. This adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. The previous beta 3 introduced a brand new Android editor port!

Last but not least, lightmaps baking is now done using the GPU to speed up the process significantly. Several new optimization techniques are also at your disposal, such as occlusion culling , automatic mesh LOD , and manual HLOD using visibility ranges , made possible by Joan Fons ( JFonS ), and Juan.

By adding a simple cache to it, we made it so that light map texture coordinates are only computed when there's an actual change to the geometry of the mesh. Here you can see the Sponza demo model, with baked direct lighting, and the corresponding light map: Note that this first pass is not taking occlusion into account yet.

Yes, Cinemachine is a plug-in for Unity, but what makes this plug-in great for this platform is the fact there are many other plug-ins to choose from that can work seamlessly with Cinemachine. You have to pay for extra plug-ins to export, for example, FBX meshes out of an engine. As of yet, there is no distributed baking.
