It also can be used to create exotic worlds and provides ground view with sky and aerial perspectives, including ground to space view transitions. We've added support for a new physically-based Sky Atmosphere component that you can use to create an Earth-like atmosphere with dynamic time of day. New: Physically-Based Sky Atmosphere Component The Landmass Plugin provides examples of using Landscape Blueprint Brushes as well as a Blueprint called BP_CameraOverlap that can be used to overlay photo reference on the screen, match up the camera perspective, and then draw shapes into the world based on the reference: To use Blueprint Brushes, you must enable the Landmass plugin.

The workflows for nondestructive editing of Landscapes have been significantly improved and expanded to make creating outdoor environments more flexible and efficient!

This release includes 98 improvements submitted by the incredible community of Unreal Engine developers on GitHub! Thanks to each of these contributors to Unreal Engine 4.24: Project creation workflow now includes a wizard-style workflow centered around the industry or type of project you are creating so you only see relevant settings and tools. The Live Universal Scene Description (USD) Stage Actor creates a direct link to the USD file on disk for faster iteration and better collaboration. With Screen-Space Global Illumination, you can achieve natural light-filled spaces using fewer resources.ĭatasmith is now available to all Unreal Engine users, bringing high-fidelity, whole-scene conversion to the masses! The new Visual Dataprep makes automating data preparation workflows more accessible so smaller, design-focused teams can benefit from them. The new experimental strand-based hair and fur system brings characters to life with realistic, flowing hair.

The Sky Atmosphere component generates a physically-accurate sky that can be updated dynamically depending on the time of day, and it can be viewed from the ground or from the air to create realistic-looking planetscapes. The new nondestructive, layer-based Landscape workflows enable you to build more interesting and engaging outdoor environments where the terrain automatically adapts to other elements in the world.

We have added numerous tools and improved workflows across the board to help you bring your vision to life. Teams of any size should be able to create believable worlds and experiences that draw users in and keep them engaged. With the release of Unreal Engine 4.24, we continue our journey to help you build the most realistic worlds with tools that make you more productive than ever.
