Artist-friendly tools like Control Rig let you quickly create rigs and share them across multiple characters pose them in Sequencer and save and apply the poses with the new Pose Browser and easily create natural movement with the new Full-Body IK solver.

Working in context, you can iterate faster and more accurately, without the need for time-consuming round-tripping. Data Layers allow you to create different variations of the same World-such as daytime and nighttime versions-as layers that exist in the same space.Īuthor incredibly detailed characters in dynamic, real-time environments with Unreal Engine 5’s powerful animation toolset. Team members can also simultaneously work on the same region of the same World without stepping on each other’s toes via the new One File Per Actor system.

The new World Partition system in Unreal Engine 5 changes how levels are managed and streamed, automatically dividing the world into a grid and streaming the necessary cells. One of our goals is to make the creation of open worlds faster, easier, and more collaborative for teams of all sizes. This means you no longer have to author lightmap UVs, wait for lightmaps to bake, or place reflection captures-you can simply create and edit lights inside the Unreal Editor and see the same final lighting as when the game is run on console. With Lumen, indirect lighting adapts on the fly to changes to direct lighting or geometry, such as changing the sun’s angle with the time of day, turning on a flashlight, or opening an exterior door. Lumen is a fully dynamic global illumination solution that lets users create dynamic, believable scenes. Nanite intelligently streams and processes only the detail you can perceive, largely removing poly count and draw call constraints, and eliminating time-consuming tasks such as baking details to normal maps and manually authoring LODs-freeing you up to concentrate on creativity.


Directly import film-quality source assets comprised of millions of polygons and place them millions of times, all while maintaining a real-time frame rate, and without any noticeable loss of fidelity. Our new Nanite virtualized micropolygon system lets users create games with massive, unprecedented amounts of geometric detail. Key features in UE5 Early Access include: Nanite
