Applications such as Unreal Engine and Unity have lowered the barrier of entry significantly, making the prospect of building worlds and programming full-fledged games a reality for just about anyone with the dedication.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>Epic Games, the developers behind Unreal Engine, continue to push the boundaries of the gaming world. Their work on the ever-popular battle royale, <em>Fortnite</em>, is one of the leading examples of their ambition and imagination. What started as a relatively obscure PvP offshoot of <em>Fortnite: Save the World</em>, has burgeoned to become not only one of the most popular games on the planet, but an entertainment platform unto itself. And all of it is built in Unreal Engine.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>While Unreal Engine 4, the current incarnation of this game-building and animation application remains a popular and reliable option for game development, Epic Games has just teased Unreal Engine 5, opening it up to early access and providing us all with a glimpse of it’s impressive capabilities.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>Below you will find some of the latest news on Unreal Engine 5 including its timeline for a release, as well as our thoughts on suitable <strong>pre-built gaming computers</strong> that are worth investing in if you love to game but are also interested in dipping your toes into the world of game development using this popular game engine.</p><h2><br data-mce-bogus='1'></h2><h2><br data-mce-bogus='1'></h2><h2>The Next Generation World Building Solution</h2><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>Professional game devs and animation hobbyists alike are going to want to dive into what Unreal Engine 5 has to offer. It’s clear that Epic Games has poured an incredible amount of time and resources into building what is perhaps one of the most powerful widely available game engines ever created.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>Epic Games is already on record as stating that their intentions for Unreal Engine 5 were to deliver an unparalleled level of <a href='https://venturebeat.com/2021/05/26/epic-games-launches-unreal-engine-5-early-access-shows-massive-3d-scenes/' data-mce-href='https://venturebeat.com/2021/05/26/epic-games-launches-unreal-engine-5-early-access-shows-massive-3d-scenes/'>freedom and flexibility</a> in the game development process. This is meant to be a platform that will easily allow you to generate beautiful and highly-detailed worlds, with the help of their new World Partition feature.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>Described as a “new data management and distance-based level streaming system,” the <a href='https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.0/en-US/WorldFeatures/WorldPartition/' data-mce-href='https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.0/en-US/WorldFeatures/WorldPartition/'>World Partition system</a> aims to give developers a more streamlined experience when creating terrain and complex worlds. Unreal Engine has always been known for its ability to help developers create in-depth and realistic worlds, but this new feature, along with several others, will simplify and enhance the process.</p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>It should be noted that the actual editor has been updated as well, which makes it easier to drag and drop assets in the world and change parameters on the fly. These new UI features were actually one of the highlights of the tech demo that was released, which is important because clunky interfaces hinder workflow. Some of the new features that come with Unreal Engine 5 seek to mitigate these development issues, which will only allow for a better experience overall.</p><h2><br data-mce-bogus='1'></h2><h2><br data-mce-bogus='1'></h2><h2>Nanite and Lumen</h2><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>Of course, Unreal Engine is largely known for its visual capabilities, and it seems as though this new version of Epic’s game engine does not disappoint. Nanite and Lumen represent two new innovations that are packed with Unreal Engine 5, and which will help developers create gorgeous-looking environments with ease.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>Nanite is described as a virtualized micropolygon geometry system that basically allows for a much richer level of detail than the previous system of LODs. This new system offers higher object counts and a detail system that dynamically renders based on what can actually be seen, among other perks. The result is a breathtaking level of environmental detail that does not impact frame rate, according to the documentation.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>Lumen on the other hand is a new state of the art illumination system that can create realistic lighting elements that adapt from one situation to another. For instance, lighting can shift from indirect to direct according to camera position, and the effects translate to the environment seamlessly. Lumen will work in tandem with Nanite to deliver extremely detailed, realistic meshes in real time.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>These aren’t the only new features coming to Epic’s popular game engine. The new tech demo and documentation reveals a wealth of new tools and engine features to play around with, all of which are designed specifically to either improve the development process or create even more detailed worlds without sacrificing game performance. With a slated full release coming in 2022, now is the time to try out the early access suite and see what Epic Games has in store for us next year.</p><h2><br data-mce-bogus='1'></h2><h2><br data-mce-bogus='1'></h2><h2>A Powerful PC For Game Designers</h2><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>While Unreal Engine is available to everyone, not every PC out there is capable of running this application properly. In fact, even many reliable gaming PCs would falter trying to render fully animated scenes and models with the current version of the engine, let alone Unreal Engine 5.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>If you are actually interested in designing your own games or assets, or simply want to test out Unreal Engine to see what it’s all about, you are going to want to make sure you have a powerful <strong>pre-built gaming computer</strong> that is up to the task. This way, you will be able to play any games you want and work within the new Unreal Engine 5 without experiencing any issues.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>For such a resource-intensive task as game animation and development, we recommend taking a look at our full tower gaming PC, Ra. With a commanding assortment of components that are designed to deliver maximum performance, the CLX Ra gaming PC will not only allow you to play today’s most graphically detailed titles on optimal settings, but will also allow you to try your hand at game development as well.</p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p>","id":"p0","sort_index":0,"type":"paragraph"},{"alt":"clx gaming pc","content":"clx-gaming-pc.png","id":"img1","sort_index":1,"type":"image"},{"content":"<p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>The <a href='https://www.clxgaming.com/gaming-pc/clx-ra-high-performance-gaming-pc' data-mce-href='https://www.clxgaming.com/gaming-pc/clx-ra-high-performance-gaming-pc'>CLX Ra</a> is a pre-built gaming computer that offers industry-leading performance and a diverse array of customization options as well.
