商品描述

Learn the principles of lighting and rendering in the Unreal Engine

About This Book

  • Get acquainted with the concepts of lighting and rendering specific to Unreal
  • Use new features such as Realistic Rendering and Foliage Shading to breathe new life into your projects
  • A fast-paced guide to help you learn lighting and rendering concepts in Unreal

Who This Book Is For

This book is meant for game developers with knowledge of Unreal Engine and a basic understanding of lighting and rendering systems in it. As a prerequisite, you need to have good knowledge of C++.

What You Will Learn

  • Use features such as realistic Rendering and Foliage Shading to create high quality output
  • Create and edit your materials using the Material Editor
  • Use Cascade's particle editor to create modular particle-based effects using emitters
  • Explore Unreal's GPU Visualizer
  • Tweak the overall look and feel of your scene with post-process effects
  • Create charts to get stat unit times over a long period of time
  • Use scalability settings to maintain performance for your games on different platforms and hardware

In Detail

Unreal Engine is a powerful game development engine that provides rich functionalities to create 2D and 3D games. Developers have the opportunity to build cross-platform mobile and desktop games from scratch. Unreal Engine enables users to create high quality games that focus on individual complexities of game development.

This book provides you with the skills required to apply a high level of visual appeal to your games without compromising on performance.

Starting with an introduction to the rendering system, you will learn to create different types of materials using the Material Editor. You will then create a particle system based on Cascade editor to create mind-blowing visual effects.

Moving on, you will learn the concept of lights in Unreal and different types of dynamic/real-time lights, along with a number of powerful post processing effects. Next, you will learn to improve rendering performance, keeping in mind the rendering limitations for different platforms.

At the end of the book, we will discuss the scalability settings menu, and how to add realistic fog effects based on the requirements of your game or level.

Style and approach

A fast-paced guide filled with hands-on examples to teach you the principles of lighting and rendering in Unreal.

詳細內容

虛幻引擎是一個強大的遊戲開發引擎,提供豐富的功能來創建2D和3D遊戲。開發者有機會從頭開始建立跨平台的移動和桌面遊戲。虛幻引擎使用者能夠創建關注遊戲開發個別複雜性的高質量遊戲。

本書將為您提供在不影響性能的情況下為遊戲應用高水平的視覺吸引力所需的技能。

從介紹渲染系統開始,您將學習使用材質編輯器創建不同類型的材質。然後,您將使用Cascade編輯器創建基於粒子的令人驚嘆的視覺效果。

接下來,您將學習虛幻中的燈光概念以及不同類型的動態/實時燈光,還有一些強大的後期處理效果。然後,您將學習如何改善渲染性能,考慮不同平台的渲染限制。

在本書結尾,我們將討論可擴展性設置菜單,以及如何根據遊戲或關卡的要求添加逼真的霧效果。

風格和方法

這是一本快節奏的指南,充滿了實際示例,教您虛幻中的燈光和渲染原則。
