June 2nd Meeting: Let’s add millions of polygons in Unreal 5!

• When: June 2nd, 7pm
• Where: The TGD Discord

Epic games is pushing game development in new and exciting directions with their latest version of Unreal. Unreal 5 contains a host of fantastic technologies, but chief among them are Nanite and Lumen. Nanite provides artists the ability to use cinematic quality assets in-game without the time-consuming process of optimizing them into game-ready assets. Lumen provides dynamic global illumination as well, without the need for, again, the time-consuming process of light baking.

For a great breakdown of the latest features, you can watch the below video, OR why not join us in our Discord to watch us walk through the features? We’ll be:

• Showing off the Land Of The Ancient demo.
• Using Quixel Megascans to build an environment live using millions of polygons.
• Talking about photogrammetry techniques and how you can create your own high-polygon meshes to import into your projects.

Hope to see you then!
