Lastest verion of Unreal 3 engine

[Krieger]

So epic games just released a trailer of their "newest" version of the Unreal 3 engine, will RO2 be using this?

They are using one of the latest versions. I don't know which one though... maybe the July 2010 version?

Hmm, then why should people not use the October build but stay with the September build UDK?

 

[Zennousha]

So, TWI... How about those weather/day and night transition features?

Because you can't open packages that are made with newer builds of UDK. Other way it works.
Also, that demo map runs 5-20 fps on my PC.

This would be awesome with the campaign mode :IS2:

That new version looks really impressive.

Keep in mind that is a tech demo, and you can't run a game looking like that, except maybe on the highest of high end rigs only.

 

[Bob Joel]

In their own words, the trailer "calls attention to Unreal Engine 3 features that help developers create gorgeous environments". They have been updating the UDK engine builds regularly - the impressive things here, like dynamic sunlight and shadow cascades, were introduced months ago. (They are also really slow.)

Just take a look at some of the suggestions on the forum, implement them and when you then finally release the game in a couple of years we sure can!

saw a few of those effects used to great effect in medal of honor. bad game btw, don't buy it if tempted.

Aye, no game's going to look like that for the forseeable future, game cutscenes maybe, as thouse can be pre-rendered, but not the actual games.

Also, at some point you just have to pick an engine build and stick with it, or you will end up like Duke Nukem Forever and never release the bloody thing (till the company dies and someone else gets a hold of the IP), and as cool as some of this tech looks in a tech demo, that doesen't mean it's ready for real time rendering in a game, new tech is rarely polished and wholly effecient tech.

your 'win' pc? i think that's better than mine.

Yes, but I have upgraded memory and GPU since that. Right now this thing has 6 GB RAM and a Geforce 270 GTX, CPU is Core 2 Duo E6700 (need to upgrade that next, along with memory and motherboard).

Question is when film industry really starts to use
game engines in animations.

We are indeed on the September 2010 build of UE3. And one of the guys was trying out that map on his dev rig - I think he was running in the "seconds per frame" mode as a result! It is a tech demo only - with everything including the kitchen sink thrown in. Still very pretty though!
