MarketTantrik Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Uncharted quality foliage in Unreal Engine 3 Related story At Game Developers Conference, Epic showed their latest Unreal game engine upgrades, including fancy foliage tech, pictured here. What we can say is what this stuff looks like in tech demos. In the first, Epic was showing a scene of jungle ruins, a location full of trees and broken stone chambers that looked like a setting from the first Uncharted, rendered in impressive and lush detail. A roomful of reporters was shown how the upgraded Unreal Development Kit can more efficiently render jungle vines and can efficiently lay down wooden railroad tracks.

Zod Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Epic Games' evolving game-making tech is shopped to developers here at GDC in San Francisco, but it also teases the potential of what Epic will do in any of its games, including the expected — if unannounced — Gears of War 3. This year, Epic was showing off a new mesh paint tool and new support for vertex definition, a spline deformation tool and other terms, that honestly, we can't translate for you here at Kotaku. What we can say is what this stuff looks like in tech demos. In the first, Epic was showing a scene of jungle ruins, a location full of trees and broken stone chambers that looked like a setting from the first Uncharted, rendered in impressive and lush detail. A roomful of reporters was shown how the upgraded Unreal Development Kit can more efficiently render jungle vines and can efficiently lay down wooden railroad tracks. Another demo showed a floating blob of liquid medal that warbled fluidly. "Remember last year we had the meat cube?" Epic Games vice president Mark Rein asked his audience here. He was referring to a GDC demonstration of Unreal from two years ago when a bloody cube of flesh was shown, getting shot up and chopped away, a precursor to some of the gore in Gears of War 2."This is the mercury cube." In another demonstration, an Epic engineer zipped through a city scene, showing off how quickly he could drop in new buildings and construct a vast and detailed city. Rein pointed out this was just programmer art, even though it already looked passable. "One day we'll show you what we're doing with this. When you see what we're doing with this, it's going to blow your mind." Until then, we can guess what this upgraded engine could do for a new Gears or whatever it is Epic is working on.

rahul Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Looked more like a Lara Croft game. Will hate Gears if they introduce a jungle like that. Come to think about it, i can remember only couple of trees in the first game. None in the second (?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapola Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 ^omg, I just thought the same. Going by the quality of shots and environ it doesn't look any different than some ruins from TR: underworld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
