  • 00:00:01
    so uh my name is Aran brussi uh I'm a
  • 00:00:04
    technical director at epic games you
  • 00:00:06
    know my goal is to help people be
  • 00:00:08
    successful at uh implementing a real
  • 00:00:10
    engine and uh for that right we want to
  • 00:00:12
    share more about all the things that we
  • 00:00:14
    have in flight so that hopefully uh you
  • 00:00:17
    know you can uh you can you can see
  • 00:00:19
    what's coming you don't uh you don't
  • 00:00:21
    build your own if we have something in
  • 00:00:23
    Flight right stuff like that and just
  • 00:00:24
    share more of the road map so um that's
  • 00:00:28
    his talk uh so we're going to go over
  • 00:00:29
    the engine it's a bit much uh so I'm
  • 00:00:33
    trying to kind of get through it we we
  • 00:00:35
    don't have that much time there's going
  • 00:00:37
    to be a lot of special list sessions for
  • 00:00:41
    uh all these areas where people can go
  • 00:00:43
    to much more detail on like the five
  • 00:00:45
    five features and uh and and what's
  • 00:00:47
    coming Beyond and I've pointed out those
  • 00:00:49
    sessions in the slides so you can see
  • 00:00:52
    those other sessions if you're if you
  • 00:00:54
    want to go to
  • 00:00:56
    those uh big caveat as always it's
  • 00:00:59
    software development things will change
  • 00:01:02
    you know I think over the past week uh
  • 00:01:04
    there's so many features that made it
  • 00:01:05
    made it not Etc into five5 so it's
  • 00:01:08
    always uh always the thing that that's
  • 00:01:10
    happening uh we just want to share what
  • 00:01:12
    we're working on so uh you know instead
  • 00:01:14
    of just like saying nothing and then uh
  • 00:01:16
    and then uh you know you can only see it
  • 00:01:19
    like six months from now or
  • 00:01:20
    whatever so let's start with uh
  • 00:01:24
    rendering you know uh I thought it was
  • 00:01:27
    always good to kind of start with the
  • 00:01:28
    aims right like what are we trying to do
  • 00:01:29
    with rendering well it's probably the
  • 00:01:30
    most obvious feature of the engine that
  • 00:01:32
    that that we're pushing right high-end
  • 00:01:34
    Graphics quality not just for games for
  • 00:01:36
    all these other uh uh uses of of of a
  • 00:01:40
    visualization engine uh you know but
  • 00:01:42
    importantly right for us that also means
  • 00:01:45
    we want to hit the highest Fidelity as
  • 00:01:47
    possible at 60 HZ on current gen
  • 00:01:50
    consoles right so that's a true line
  • 00:01:52
    that we use for all our development to
  • 00:01:54
    just keep working on performance uh you
  • 00:01:56
    know high-end photo realism as well for
  • 00:01:58
    all these other use cases virtual
  • 00:02:00
    production uh you name it uh it's also
  • 00:02:03
    part of the of the
  • 00:02:05
    efforts so uh with uh with all the
  • 00:02:08
    features right starting with with with
  • 00:02:10
    Nite so uh the big focus of the year is
  • 00:02:13
    to uh do R&D into foliage rendering so
  • 00:02:17
    the problem with foliage is that if you
  • 00:02:19
    have a huge amount of trees going up to
  • 00:02:20
    the Horizon you know the the the Nite uh
  • 00:02:24
    algorithm doesn't work that well because
  • 00:02:25
    it just becomes a problem of aggregation
  • 00:02:28
    of all these leaves Etc so we looking at
  • 00:02:31
    all kinds of um approaches to render
  • 00:02:34
    that kind of uh geometry detail at speed
  • 00:02:38
    in the far distance Etc but the other
  • 00:02:40
    aspect of it as well is that in in close
  • 00:02:43
    to you next to the camera there will be
  • 00:02:44
    a lot of moving elements right if you
  • 00:02:46
    had to see the trees the trees are
  • 00:02:47
    moving Etc so for that we are exploring
  • 00:02:51
    uh Nite skeletal missions which is
  • 00:02:53
    actually hitting experimental already in
  • 00:02:56
    uh in 55 and that's really exciting
  • 00:02:59
    because we're running all that on the
  • 00:03:00
    GPU so we can offload all that stuff
  • 00:03:03
    from the CPU and is much faster to
  • 00:03:06
    render and even instance animations and
  • 00:03:09
    such things um the other problem with
  • 00:03:11
    trees is that um if you have have tried
  • 00:03:15
    it you know you import like a 50 million
  • 00:03:17
    triangle tree into into Nite it takes a
  • 00:03:20
    long time and it's super huge so we're
  • 00:03:22
    looking at a system called that we call
  • 00:03:24
    like a Nite assemblies to comp composite
  • 00:03:27
    trees out of different elements that are
  • 00:03:29
    then in insted and um hierarchically uh
  • 00:03:32
    instan to create a full tree at much
  • 00:03:35
    lower memory usage and much more
  • 00:03:38
    efficient uh uh uh users like that and
  • 00:03:41
    then um you know last but not least um
  • 00:03:45
    we also have
  • 00:03:48
    uh highly requested Nite mesh painting
  • 00:03:52
    uh in the editor at 55 so that allows
  • 00:03:56
    you to paint virtual textures directly
  • 00:03:58
    inside the editor instead of doing like
  • 00:04:00
    per vertx colors which is not F friendly
  • 00:04:03
    for for Nite um so that's not part of
  • 00:04:05
    the the editor as well really excited
  • 00:04:07
    artists are all uh super happy with that
  • 00:04:11
    so yeah going forward uh future you know
  • 00:04:14
    uh we plan to kind of keep doubling down
  • 00:04:16
    on the foliage thing we expect really
  • 00:04:18
    big updates at around 5 six time uh
  • 00:04:22
    which is next year middle next year and
  • 00:04:24
    uh that will both solve all these issues
  • 00:04:26
    of like Dynamic moving trees the
  • 00:04:28
    composition of the trees uh the
  • 00:04:31
    aggregation but also making this all
  • 00:04:33
    work with Lumen and uh
  • 00:04:37
    VSM so yeah Lumen and VSM that area uh
  • 00:04:41
    excited to show that we now have this
  • 00:04:44
    megga lights initiative that just just
  • 00:04:46
    we we we showed demo off you know that
  • 00:04:48
    featured like I think like 1700 R traced
  • 00:04:51
    uh shadowed lights in that scene uh
  • 00:04:54
    running on a current gen console it's uh
  • 00:04:57
    it's early right it's experimental uh
  • 00:04:59
    we're work on performance and get that
  • 00:05:01
    to uh to to 60 and and all that uh in
  • 00:05:04
    the in the future uh but yeah you know
  • 00:05:07
    really really next leap in the graphic
  • 00:05:08
    Fidelity in in in in that way um then in
  • 00:05:12
    general we were doing a lot of work on
  • 00:05:15
    uh Lumen performance so to uh run that
  • 00:05:18
    at high quality scalability settings at
  • 00:05:20
    60 htz on current gen consoles and also
  • 00:05:24
    enable Hardware rate racing at 60 Herz
  • 00:05:26
    on uh current gen consoles uh with 55 so
  • 00:05:30
    that's also really
  • 00:05:32
    exciting um down the line right what's
  • 00:05:35
    coming next uh obviously a lot of work
  • 00:05:37
    going into meytes and further optimizing
  • 00:05:39
    that um you know but also looking at
  • 00:05:41
    like Lumen like how can we scale it um
  • 00:05:45
    uh down even further by hitting uh maybe
  • 00:05:48
    two millisecond type processing time so
  • 00:05:50
    we can enable 120 hertz uh modes but
  • 00:05:53
    also run it better on low-end Hardware
  • 00:05:56
    mobile and uh and such things so uh
  • 00:05:59
    that's also in in deep R&D for future
  • 00:06:03
    releases like not not backed to a
  • 00:06:05
    certain release yet P racer is now
  • 00:06:07
    production ready uh so that's um a
  • 00:06:11
    really feature complete as well for uh
  • 00:06:13
    Enterprise uh and linear content type
  • 00:06:16
    work and we have some experimental
  • 00:06:18
    aspects that we just came came in with a
  • 00:06:20
    new D noiser and fetri Cloud support and
  • 00:06:23
    and such things then also exciting that
  • 00:06:26
    substrate is now hitting beta in 55 you
  • 00:06:29
    know substrate obviously is this uh you
  • 00:06:31
    know complex materials with like uh lots
  • 00:06:34
    of layering you know without overhead
  • 00:06:36
    for for for if you want to do simple
  • 00:06:39
    things so you can go super complex but
  • 00:06:41
    also do simple things and you know in
  • 00:06:43
    good epic practice what we want to do to
  • 00:06:46
    make that into production ready is to
  • 00:06:48
    ship our internal projects on it so uh
  • 00:06:50
    that's not happened yet so that's why
  • 00:06:51
    it's still beta so over the next uh uh
  • 00:06:54
    time you know I don't know if it's going
  • 00:06:56
    to be the next version or not uh we need
  • 00:06:58
    to kind of get fortnite substrate and
  • 00:07:00
    release that at 60 hertz running uh with
  • 00:07:03
    all the bells and whistles and
  • 00:07:05
    performance before we can call that uh
  • 00:07:07
    production
  • 00:07:08
    ready um and then um the last bullet
  • 00:07:13
    point is there is first person rendering
  • 00:07:16
    so uh it's kind of interesting because I
  • 00:07:18
    always think about unreal is like the
  • 00:07:19
    Unreal Tournament engine still and uh
  • 00:07:21
    we're like yeah first person rendering
  • 00:07:23
    out of the box didn't work that well so
  • 00:07:26
    we actually put some time and effort
  • 00:07:27
    into that so we now have uh
  • 00:07:30
    that ready in like experimental state so
  • 00:07:32
    you can do like the you have an anti-
  • 00:07:34
    clipping uh uh approach you have a
  • 00:07:37
    separate fov for your uh firsters uh uh
  • 00:07:41
    mesh and then we have a bunch of work
  • 00:07:43
    that we're still doing for the future
  • 00:07:45
    with um in the near future like doing uh
  • 00:07:48
    shadowing of your uh gun self shadowing
  • 00:07:51
    shadowing of your third person mesh and
  • 00:07:53
    uh supporting Reflections and those kind
  • 00:07:55
    of things but that's cool because you
  • 00:07:57
    don't have to do these nasty ha and has
  • 00:08:00
    the uh U workarounds anymore to render
  • 00:08:03
    first person meses uh
  • 00:08:06
    efficiently right um then on uh the
  • 00:08:11
    rendering architecture so um you know uh
  • 00:08:14
    main focus is to really uh get to ever
  • 00:08:17
    better performance by improving renderer
  • 00:08:20
    paralyzation in general to utilize all
  • 00:08:22
    the cores and using the new work crafts
  • 00:08:24
    on um on PCS um so uh feature-wise
  • 00:08:29
    uh the other thing that we're doing is
  • 00:08:31
    we're working on a refactor of the GPU
  • 00:08:33
    profiler where the goal is to unify
  • 00:08:36
    these profiling systems that we have
  • 00:08:39
    like uh stats uh profile GPU uh insights
  • 00:08:43
    and such things and to support also the
  • 00:08:45
    modern concepts with asnc compute and
  • 00:08:47
    mgpu in kind of a single uh profiler so
  • 00:08:51
    that will help a lot um seeing what your
  • 00:08:53
    gpus all
  • 00:08:54
    doing um then we have uh support for
  • 00:08:57
    bindless resources also highly requested
  • 00:09:01
    from many many content developers right
  • 00:09:03
    enable much newer artist workflows and
  • 00:09:06
    uh and uh and and such things so that's
  • 00:09:09
    coming and um last but not least uh here
  • 00:09:15
    or many things not certainly not last um
  • 00:09:19
    uh you know we're working on a lot of
  • 00:09:21
    Shader compilation improvements by um uh
  • 00:09:26
    you know looking at the compiling time
  • 00:09:27
    so we can do their uh PSO C Ing and uh
  • 00:09:30
    you know generally we're working and uh
  • 00:09:34
    uh decreasing the Shader permutations uh
  • 00:09:36
    a lot to kind of get uh performance back
  • 00:09:39
    into your uh workflows of just working
  • 00:09:42
    on the
  • 00:09:46
    games okay then um next um we have uh
  • 00:09:52
    you know ongoing work on like gr
  • 00:09:54
    paralyzation right so coming with
  • 00:09:56
    enhanced barriers as well like CPU and
  • 00:09:58
    GPU optimizations with DAR X um you know
  • 00:10:02
    further reducing Shader permutations by
  • 00:10:05
    E by doing efforts on reducing static
  • 00:10:07
    switch uh uh uh conversion um um uh
  • 00:10:12
    things and um then you know another big
  • 00:10:16
    effort underway for the next uh uh time
  • 00:10:19
    period is a new material editor where
  • 00:10:22
    the goal is to make a uh you know much
  • 00:10:25
    easier uh system for people to make
  • 00:10:27
    performant materials simply out of the
  • 00:10:30
    box without having to a lot of Uh custom
  • 00:10:33
    work to kind of get them to work at
  • 00:10:35
    performance in the first place so you
  • 00:10:37
    know make great materials for
  • 00:10:38
    non-experts is the goal
  • 00:10:42
    here right that was rendering let's go
  • 00:10:45
    to world creation so um obviously right
  • 00:10:49
    World creation the aims are to kind of
  • 00:10:51
    you know have un real be friendly to
  • 00:10:53
    making these big open world games and
  • 00:10:56
    have uh streaming uh efficient streaming
  • 00:10:58
    out of the box
  • 00:10:59
    and have these all all these workflows
  • 00:11:01
    out of the box uh with u5 so we've been
  • 00:11:04
    on that Journey since 5.0 probably since
  • 00:11:06
    our first dech demos and you know we're
  • 00:11:09
    we're we're getting uh we're seeing big
  • 00:11:11
    improvements every release you know as
  • 00:11:13
    part of that we also have the PCG uh uh
  • 00:11:17
    system that we now uh are are uh you
  • 00:11:21
    know going to move toward F uh
  • 00:11:24
    production ready by next year and that's
  • 00:11:26
    obviously a way to kind of add a lot
  • 00:11:28
    more content uh via rules and and and
  • 00:11:32
    systems like that instead of just hand
  • 00:11:34
    placing anything so that's uh also
  • 00:11:36
    allows you to stay in the editor
  • 00:11:38
    obviously and and get much faster uh
  • 00:11:40
    workflows like that so big thing now is
  • 00:11:43
    that we were also going to run that on
  • 00:11:44
    GPU going
  • 00:11:46
    forward um you know ambitious goal here
  • 00:11:48
    right like our our our our nordstar that
  • 00:11:51
    we have here is that we want to go to
  • 00:11:52
    much much bigger worlds and then you
  • 00:11:55
    know if you if you have an order of of
  • 00:11:58
    multiple orders of magnet do more
  • 00:11:59
    complexity just with the size of the
  • 00:12:01
    world or the number of actors a lot of
  • 00:12:03
    the unreal systems uh don't work that
  • 00:12:05
    nice anymore right it uh it starts to
  • 00:12:07
    fall apart so we we need to do a lot of
  • 00:12:09
    work in uh in making such things
  • 00:12:12
    faster so yeah uh 5 five uh we have um
  • 00:12:17
    you know a feature that we call external
  • 00:12:20
    data layers where um uh actors within a
  • 00:12:23
    world predition can now be associated
  • 00:12:25
    with like a Game feature plug-in and can
  • 00:12:28
    be loaded as such
  • 00:12:29
    which makes it much more efficient to to
  • 00:12:32
    load that section without having to load
  • 00:12:33
    everything also in memory um you know
  • 00:12:36
    level instance property overrides a lot
  • 00:12:39
    of a bit of a mouthful but that's our
  • 00:12:41
    kind of you know our basic early prefab
  • 00:12:44
    type system so you can have instances
  • 00:12:46
    that you have override properties to and
  • 00:12:49
    uh you know so you can instantiate
  • 00:12:51
    things and do a bit of overrides it's
  • 00:12:53
    not our full-fledged prefab system
  • 00:12:55
    that's more what you see in ufn right
  • 00:12:57
    now with the the new singer gra but this
  • 00:13:00
    is at least a way to build uh build um
  • 00:13:02
    you know big roads with like uh uh
  • 00:13:05
    instance things and then also after many
  • 00:13:08
    uh requests we now have uh static
  • 00:13:10
    lighting for World partition uh using uh
  • 00:13:14
    CPU light Mass so that's in 5
  • 00:13:19
    five so uh future I think you know um a
  • 00:13:23
    lot of work ongoing to keep improving
  • 00:13:26
    workflows uh customization quality
  • 00:13:29
    performance all the things right uh the
  • 00:13:32
    the main thing on performance really is
  • 00:13:34
    towards streaming performance so yeah if
  • 00:13:37
    you have tens of thousands of objects in
  • 00:13:39
    a cell and you're streaming it in you
  • 00:13:41
    know we hitch right it's too much single
  • 00:13:43
    threaded stuff uh so there's a lot of
  • 00:13:46
    work on like okay how do we make that
  • 00:13:47
    faster like the ads to World make that
  • 00:13:49
    faster but also streaming out of memory
  • 00:13:53
    make that faster right and you hit and
  • 00:13:55
    like garbage collect and and whatnot so
  • 00:13:57
    there there's a lot of work to kind of
  • 00:13:59
    fix that multiple orders of magnitude
  • 00:14:01
    problem down the line then uh right now
  • 00:14:05
    to set up your world efficiently you
  • 00:14:07
    have to build a lot of uh tools uh to
  • 00:14:10
    kind of pack actors together into into
  • 00:14:13
    grouped acre agregates and instance high
  • 00:14:16
    in static mesh things and whatnot so we
  • 00:14:18
    want to make tools to make that more
  • 00:14:20
    automatic out of the box to kind of grab
  • 00:14:22
    grab all the objects together and put
  • 00:14:24
    them in the right cell and all
  • 00:14:25
    that so uh yeah then on the new singer
  • 00:14:29
    uh so that we are doing right now in ufn
  • 00:14:32
    because that's kind of a nice isolated
  • 00:14:34
    thing that doesn't break everything with
  • 00:14:36
    the actor and component model of uh of
  • 00:14:38
    uee right now but down the line right we
  • 00:14:41
    want to make this a uee feature and kind
  • 00:14:43
    of the main uh road ahead for that is
  • 00:14:47
    like how do we merge these Concepts
  • 00:14:49
    together right like how can we kind of
  • 00:14:50
    move fully to maybe to like an entity
  • 00:14:52
    system with that new scene graph while
  • 00:14:54
    not breaking all the previous content
  • 00:14:56
    that was built in like an actra
  • 00:14:57
    component model so that's the big
  • 00:14:59
    challenge I had for
  • 00:15:01
    us unsolved
  • 00:15:03
    yet um so yeah
  • 00:15:06
    PCG uh very excited to uh announce that
  • 00:15:10
    we have GPU compute on PCG so uh you
  • 00:15:14
    know obviously you can do micro
  • 00:15:15
    scattering it can generate and instan
  • 00:15:18
    instantiate sorry instantiate uh Nite
  • 00:15:22
    meshes so uh a lot more detail possible
  • 00:15:25
    uh fully running on the GPU um we ALS
  • 00:15:29
    also have a new PCG graph executor uh
  • 00:15:33
    version two that uh scales better under
  • 00:15:36
    multi trading applications and allows
  • 00:15:38
    you to do async compute on some of these
  • 00:15:40
    things so you don't hitch or you don't
  • 00:15:42
    stall on the trads ETC you can have
  • 00:15:44
    things that take longer uh without uh
  • 00:15:46
    without uh U yeah itching and all that
  • 00:15:49
    and that helps for both runtime and
  • 00:15:52
    inside the editor so that's cool and uh
  • 00:15:56
    there's a talk so that's the that's the
  • 00:15:58
    first call out a talk here uh I think
  • 00:16:01
    tomorrow and they'll go into much more
  • 00:16:03
    detail on the on the various aspects
  • 00:16:05
    that they're working
  • 00:16:07
    on so yeah uh future so in the next year
  • 00:16:11
    we want to make PCG production ready uh
  • 00:16:14
    you know again for us that normally
  • 00:16:16
    means we shipped it in fortnite right we
  • 00:16:18
    use it at scale ourselves right we we we
  • 00:16:22
    have hundreds of people working on it
  • 00:16:23
    and we make sure that that that that
  • 00:16:25
    that that works super solid so that's
  • 00:16:27
    coming uh next uh GPU computers getting
  • 00:16:30
    enhancements and uh and uh you know
  • 00:16:33
    generally we're looking at all the
  • 00:16:34
    workflows of like well how can we do
  • 00:16:36
    better attribut support uh dependency
  • 00:16:39
    tracking versioning uh all those kind of
  • 00:16:42
    things um the other thing we're working
  • 00:16:45
    on is uh a thing that we call like Mega
  • 00:16:48
    worlds biomes so uh what we're seeing is
  • 00:16:52
    that obviously you don't want to make
  • 00:16:53
    Place individual assets anymore but more
  • 00:16:56
    and more you also don't want artists to
  • 00:16:58
    all have to work on PD graphs themselves
  • 00:17:01
    because PD graphs become super complex
  • 00:17:03
    and uh and uh so that's not for
  • 00:17:05
    everybody so can we create a concept of
  • 00:17:09
    um uh assets that have built-in pgd on
  • 00:17:12
    every level and can just be placed with
  • 00:17:15
    these built-in rules and can we ship
  • 00:17:17
    content in our marketplaces in Fab and
  • 00:17:19
    in quicka whatever that has built-in BCG
  • 00:17:22
    uh rules and all that so that's an
  • 00:17:24
    initiative that we're going to announce
  • 00:17:25
    later next year but uh but that's kind
  • 00:17:28
    of the the the workflow we're seeing
  • 00:17:30
    ahead of us to just make make large
  • 00:17:32
    scale World creation much much easier
  • 00:17:34
    with that
  • 00:17:37
    content then on uh terrain so um you
  • 00:17:42
    know I've heard people internally ex uh
  • 00:17:45
    sometimes say that our our landscape is
  • 00:17:48
    like the worst geometry that we have on
  • 00:17:50
    screen because it just height field and
  • 00:17:53
    low Fidelity and all that so yeah we're
  • 00:17:55
    we're we need to get it to Nite level of
  • 00:17:58
    detail
  • 00:17:59
    you know and while we're at it we should
  • 00:18:00
    probably just make it completely 3D and
  • 00:18:03
    uh and and get like pixelized polygons
  • 00:18:05
    and all that but that's a huge uh effort
  • 00:18:08
    because uh yeah you know even looking at
  • 00:18:10
    at these things it's uh it's it's very
  • 00:18:12
    complex so there's a lot of R&D going on
  • 00:18:15
    you know we're working like workflow
  • 00:18:16
    workflow prototypes and and and such you
  • 00:18:19
    know memory everything is uh is is under
  • 00:18:22
    uh U consideration there but yeah in the
  • 00:18:25
    meantime we're stuck with landscape uh
  • 00:18:28
    but at least landcape has gotten a
  • 00:18:29
    couple of improvements so um you know we
  • 00:18:33
    have um uh various things so you can do
  • 00:18:37
    um um you can do uh patches you can do
  • 00:18:40
    displacement of those your landscape uh
  • 00:18:43
    we have uh um um you know better
  • 00:18:46
    scalability support for like different
  • 00:18:47
    platforms that you want to want to
  • 00:18:49
    Target but also um uh worked on a bunch
  • 00:18:53
    of uh quality of life improvements
  • 00:18:55
    because we have heard many complaints
  • 00:18:57
    that people are trying to import
  • 00:18:59
    Landscapes into nit and that made their
  • 00:19:02
    PCS blow up so uh we had to do a lot of
  • 00:19:07
    work to kind of make that a bit more
  • 00:19:08
    friendly and not and not take like a 500
  • 00:19:11
    gazillion gigabyte of memory and
  • 00:19:12
    whatever so yeah that's that's those are
  • 00:19:14
    the type of things we also have fixed in
  • 00:19:17
    the meantime on our Legacy landscape
  • 00:19:21
    systems so yeah then uh last thing in
  • 00:19:24
    World creation is the day sequence so
  • 00:19:27
    this is finally publicly releasing
  • 00:19:29
    really exciting so we're using the uh
  • 00:19:32
    sequencer to uh basically um you know
  • 00:19:36
    change anything based on on uh on a time
  • 00:19:39
    of day setting so it allows you to can
  • 00:19:42
    basically change anything that that you
  • 00:19:43
    can access with with Seer we've been
  • 00:19:46
    using it in fortnite for probably one
  • 00:19:48
    and a half years now um uh but yeah this
  • 00:19:51
    is now a plugin that we're releasing
  • 00:19:53
    with with 55 so uh really uh exciting as
  • 00:19:57
    well
  • 00:20:00
    and there's another talk on
  • 00:20:02
    that so yeah animation um a lot of work
  • 00:20:06
    going into animation uh tooling right
  • 00:20:08
    obviously um you know our our goal is to
  • 00:20:11
    to push this full animation aling
  • 00:20:15
    pipeline inside the the editor you know
  • 00:20:17
    bypassing the need the absolute need you
  • 00:20:19
    still do it but bypassing the need to uh
  • 00:20:21
    use uh dccs you know also we're I think
  • 00:20:25
    innovating a lot in like the animation
  • 00:20:27
    workflows and uh and the tooling so we
  • 00:20:30
    we we can we can accelerate our tooling
  • 00:20:33
    much faster now we have control over the
  • 00:20:35
    entire pipeline internally you know a
  • 00:20:37
    lot of a lot of benefits here as well
  • 00:20:39
    for uh round tripping times right you
  • 00:20:41
    don't have to go back and forth to other
  • 00:20:43
    tools but also like animating in context
  • 00:20:45
    right for a uh if you're working on a
  • 00:20:47
    Cuts scene or or uh a movie type thing
  • 00:20:50
    or whatever you know you can animate in
  • 00:20:52
    final pixel so you know you don't
  • 00:20:54
    animate stuff that's in Shadow or behind
  • 00:20:56
    an effect or or or or whatever so you
  • 00:20:59
    know you see a lot of improvements there
  • 00:21:00
    instead of just like the the the the
  • 00:21:02
    bouncing between external
  • 00:21:04
    dcc's it's an open framework which you
  • 00:21:06
    can extend build your own tools with
  • 00:21:08
    hopefully we'll see Marketplace plugins
  • 00:21:09
    and such coming and you know generally
  • 00:21:12
    right we like to see uh animation being
  • 00:21:14
    used by more people so you know want to
  • 00:21:16
    make it not just for experts and maybe
  • 00:21:18
    right now the tools are a bit bit rough
  • 00:21:21
    you know for experts only so we're
  • 00:21:23
    working on like making it more friendly
  • 00:21:25
    going
  • 00:21:26
    forward so yeah one of our big uh
  • 00:21:29
    features one of our big kind of
  • 00:21:31
    Innovations probably for animation is
  • 00:21:33
    our control rig efforts so we have a lot
  • 00:21:35
    of things going on in Flight which just
  • 00:21:38
    was added to 55 is um um modular
  • 00:21:42
    animation deformers that you can add on
  • 00:21:45
    characters in The sequencer really easy
  • 00:21:48
    so that's super cool you know a modular
  • 00:21:51
    uh rigging framework is getting a lot of
  • 00:21:54
    uh quality of life uh uh improvements to
  • 00:21:57
    kind of make that uh uh easier to use
  • 00:22:01
    and refined that that that user
  • 00:22:03
    interface uh you know we have skeletal
  • 00:22:06
    mesh editing production ready in the in
  • 00:22:09
    the editor so that's cool right it's
  • 00:22:10
    another kind of thing that you don't
  • 00:22:11
    have to do in an external tool and I
  • 00:22:14
    think especially if you just have a
  • 00:22:16
    simple thing right you have a simple
  • 00:22:17
    thing you want to put a animation on Etc
  • 00:22:19
    you can just do that in the editor
  • 00:22:21
    instead of having for even simple thing
  • 00:22:23
    go to an external
  • 00:22:24
    tool and um then uh ml former right has
  • 00:22:29
    been um used internally by us for quite
  • 00:22:32
    some time we've even shipped ml deformer
  • 00:22:35
    running on like PlayStation 4 with
  • 00:22:37
    fortnite two years ago or something so
  • 00:22:39
    it's super fast right it's like much
  • 00:22:41
    faster than actually generating that uh
  • 00:22:43
    or running that that that that logic uh
  • 00:22:47
    um um you know without the ml part so um
  • 00:22:51
    you know we're going to release a sample
  • 00:22:53
    there and we working on like debugging
  • 00:22:55
    and such tools to make that easier
  • 00:22:58
    um then in the future a lot of work
  • 00:23:01
    going on to deformer graph still right
  • 00:23:03
    uh allowing like physics risk Rigs and
  • 00:23:06
    then more quality of life stuff um um
  • 00:23:11
    and then uh we also have a big effort on
  • 00:23:13
    like retargeting to make um you know uh
  • 00:23:16
    centralizing shared skeleton data and
  • 00:23:19
    profile aling more more easy in that in
  • 00:23:22
    that
  • 00:23:24
    well so yeah on sequencer I think
  • 00:23:27
    sequencer was was due to get some uh
  • 00:23:29
    some quality of life uh uh improvements
  • 00:23:32
    so you know we we we we've we see that
  • 00:23:35
    as a kind of main cinematic editing tool
  • 00:23:38
    that uh that that we want to have a more
  • 00:23:40
    clean and friendly user interface for
  • 00:23:42
    all users and we also see that as like
  • 00:23:44
    the timeline tool for anything that
  • 00:23:46
    needs a timeline in the editor so not
  • 00:23:48
    just link to purely animation so uh in
  • 00:23:52
    that realm we also have a thing that's
  • 00:23:53
    called Dynamic signature that can react
  • 00:23:55
    on your gameplay state or your place of
  • 00:23:57
    actors and whatever ever and we want to
  • 00:24:00
    um um you know expand that to support
  • 00:24:03
    those Dynamic elements of the game to
  • 00:24:06
    enhance interactive cinematic
  • 00:24:07
    experiences there so um that's in
  • 00:24:11
    55 uh then uh down the line what we want
  • 00:24:15
    to do with sequencer is allow you to mix
  • 00:24:18
    animations together so like take
  • 00:24:19
    multiple animations tively apply them
  • 00:24:22
    mask them put them together build build
  • 00:24:24
    a new animation uh directly within
  • 00:24:26
    sequencer and also um with the work on
  • 00:24:29
    like the dynamic sequencer and and all
  • 00:24:32
    that work you know our plan is to go
  • 00:24:34
    into like a full uh branching cinematic
  • 00:24:37
    dialogue system and support that out of
  • 00:24:39
    the box so that will take some time but
  • 00:24:41
    we're looking at like requirements right
  • 00:24:43
    now we're talking to a bunch of uh
  • 00:24:45
    lenses to get feedback because people
  • 00:24:47
    have built these things themselves maybe
  • 00:24:49
    in other engines so this is kind of the
  • 00:24:51
    work that we want to keep doing on
  • 00:24:53
    expanding sequencer
  • 00:24:56
    functionality then uh animation altering
  • 00:24:59
    a lot of work going on in you know
  • 00:25:02
    supporting animation layers uh getting
  • 00:25:04
    to like a focused animation editor mode
  • 00:25:07
    I think you know we started that in like
  • 00:25:09
    the 5.0 version of like well can we make
  • 00:25:12
    a bit nicer UI and height the things
  • 00:25:14
    that we don't need and I think you know
  • 00:25:15
    animation is now one of these things
  • 00:25:17
    yeah we just want to go into animation
  • 00:25:18
    mode in the the editor kind of hide uh a
  • 00:25:21
    lot of things um lot of quality of life
  • 00:25:24
    there as well and uh we have a um you
  • 00:25:27
    know physics control component coming uh
  • 00:25:31
    that uh plugin coming that allows you to
  • 00:25:33
    add like simple uh physically based
  • 00:25:36
    controls to an animation blueprint and
  • 00:25:40
    such so uh future uh yeah more more
  • 00:25:44
    tools right we're using this internally
  • 00:25:46
    heavily we get a lot of feedback from
  • 00:25:48
    all these other different Industries as
  • 00:25:49
    well so that's happening uh you know we
  • 00:25:51
    want to go get to a more simplified
  • 00:25:53
    timeline so both we making it more
  • 00:25:55
    complex with Dynamic sequencer but also
  • 00:25:58
    want make it simpler for like simple
  • 00:25:59
    timelines and then uh you know down the
  • 00:26:02
    line as well uh what we're working on
  • 00:26:04
    like animating with physics so you know
  • 00:26:06
    if you have a physics Sim running
  • 00:26:08
    alongside animating you get a lot of
  • 00:26:11
    benefits of like free overlap free
  • 00:26:13
    secondary uh actions uh you know posing
  • 00:26:16
    with collision and physics and such
  • 00:26:18
    things so that's in the in the
  • 00:26:23
    pipe so yeah uh motion matching uh you
  • 00:26:26
    know probably one of the most uh most
  • 00:26:28
    uh um requested but also uh uh uh uh uh
  • 00:26:33
    you know popular things in in the
  • 00:26:35
    previous release so we since released
  • 00:26:37
    the sample which is great lots of
  • 00:26:39
    Animation lots of uh things to for you
  • 00:26:41
    to go into but also exciting we're
  • 00:26:43
    actually updating the sample so the
  • 00:26:45
    moment we have new features coming into
  • 00:26:48
    uh the animation Suite uh we update the
  • 00:26:50
    sample so we can show you uh all that
  • 00:26:53
    stuff running in uh in with actual
  • 00:26:55
    actual data next to it
  • 00:26:59
    um in the future we uh we want to uh add
  • 00:27:02
    a lot of uh you know uh new things so
  • 00:27:05
    you know can we have like multiple actor
  • 00:27:07
    support like
  • 00:27:09
    interoperating um uh interacting
  • 00:27:12
    together uh can we improve the tooling
  • 00:27:14
    around like
  • 00:27:15
    trajectories um and uh you know such
  • 00:27:20
    things so yeah then uh General animation
  • 00:27:23
    systems um you know um the gameplay
  • 00:27:26
    animation camera system a way for you to
  • 00:27:30
    allow um um uh camera State behaviors
  • 00:27:34
    and transitions seamlessly so it's much
  • 00:27:36
    nicer to inter interpolate between
  • 00:27:38
    different cameras uh without um uh nasty
  • 00:27:43
    hex uh you know choosers to allow you to
  • 00:27:46
    um um allow the the game context to
  • 00:27:49
    drive the animation selection so you can
  • 00:27:51
    do like custom things per like character
  • 00:27:53
    type or or or per damage state of the
  • 00:27:56
    character or such things
  • 00:27:58
    um a lot of work in all this stuff with
  • 00:28:01
    uh improving the debugging tool set so
  • 00:28:04
    uh you know this is hard right you don't
  • 00:28:06
    know why it's playing an animation
  • 00:28:08
    anymore so having better debugging
  • 00:28:11
    rewind scrubbing controls that you can
  • 00:28:13
    connect to your console even a remote
  • 00:28:15
    Etc is really uh uh useful and you know
  • 00:28:18
    being able to save the state of your
  • 00:28:20
    animation uh system and kind of Replay
  • 00:28:23
    that in in an external tool is also on
  • 00:28:26
    the on the pad
  • 00:28:28
    um also exciting that we now have
  • 00:28:31
    mutable uh plugin going into uh beta
  • 00:28:34
    with uh 55 you know um mutable generates
  • 00:28:38
    Dynamic skeletal meshes materials
  • 00:28:41
    textures you know allows you to make
  • 00:28:43
    like really complex looking uh uh uh
  • 00:28:47
    characters and uh you know we'll also
  • 00:28:49
    get a official uh content sample so
  • 00:28:52
    again this is very useful for anybody
  • 00:28:55
    that does customizable characters in any
  • 00:28:58
    and
  • 00:28:58
    anyway in the future right we're really
  • 00:29:01
    working on like enhancing all these
  • 00:29:02
    things so
  • 00:29:04
    yeah then um the next thing really for
  • 00:29:08
    animation is uh you know very non non-
  • 00:29:11
    creatively called anim next and uh
  • 00:29:14
    that's our kind of long-term initiative
  • 00:29:17
    to kind of integrate all the animation
  • 00:29:20
    uh uh logic systems into a single thing
  • 00:29:22
    and make the ANM graph logic much faster
  • 00:29:25
    using our rig VM right we had to control
  • 00:29:27
    rig VM that super fast versus a uh a the
  • 00:29:32
    old kind of Animation blueprints thing
  • 00:29:33
    that was really slow so now we're kind
  • 00:29:35
    of integrating that to a single unified
  • 00:29:37
    system so this will become our next
  • 00:29:39
    Generation Um animation uh solution that
  • 00:29:42
    will replace the animation blueprint and
  • 00:29:44
    hopefully as well in our first
  • 00:29:46
    benchmarks it starts to kind of show it
  • 00:29:48
    hopefully also uh reduces or eliminates
  • 00:29:52
    the need to uh navise animation
  • 00:29:55
    blueprints into C++ so you can just ship
  • 00:29:57
    the the things that you're creating uh
  • 00:29:59
    in the editor without without a lot of
  • 00:30:02
    manual work and then you know we want to
  • 00:30:04
    extend that by uh with root motion
  • 00:30:06
    support right if you don't have like uh
  • 00:30:09
    you know if you more single player games
  • 00:30:10
    and such things and state Tre support
  • 00:30:13
    Etc so it's all running on the same uh
  • 00:30:15
    backand system and M be much
  • 00:30:19
    faster right developer
  • 00:30:22
    iteration uh well the aims well we all
  • 00:30:25
    know right uh you know the complexity
  • 00:30:27
    only increases you know the the the the
  • 00:30:30
    some of these worlds are getting
  • 00:30:32
    multiple orders of magnitude uh uh
  • 00:30:34
    faster you know I've been making games
  • 00:30:37
    for like 30 years you know I think I
  • 00:30:39
    iterated much faster 30 years ago than I
  • 00:30:41
    than than we do now right we were
  • 00:30:43
    waiting for days on end to see a single
  • 00:30:45
    change propagate to to uh to all deaths
  • 00:30:48
    it's terrible so uh we need to
  • 00:30:50
    do this better right so a lot of effort
  • 00:30:52
    is uh on this uh area to make this
  • 00:30:56
    better and um
  • 00:30:58
    um you know if you iterate more a faster
  • 00:31:01
    you will reach higher quality as well
  • 00:31:03
    not just because uh uh you can iterate
  • 00:31:07
    but but but but yeah you you know you
  • 00:31:09
    just just if you have 10 chances to do
  • 00:31:11
    something to get to final instead of
  • 00:31:13
    only two chances you know you you get to
  • 00:31:15
    better quality uh we also have heard
  • 00:31:18
    loudly that uh people are uh want to
  • 00:31:21
    hear our Solutions right so we want to
  • 00:31:24
    share more of our Solutions with you all
  • 00:31:26
    and uh you know tools that we're
  • 00:31:28
    internal pushing them external right
  • 00:31:30
    better documentation and and all that so
  • 00:31:33
    uh especially helping like small and
  • 00:31:35
    beginning Studios with with setting this
  • 00:31:37
    all
  • 00:31:38
    up so uh first section of that we call
  • 00:31:42
    like built and devops so uh we have
  • 00:31:45
    unreal build accelerator now uh you know
  • 00:31:47
    already kind of a fan favorite uh which
  • 00:31:49
    is becoming production ready for C+ plus
  • 00:31:52
    and uh also now supporting shaders on
  • 00:31:55
    Windows machines so that's uh super
  • 00:31:57
    super exciting um you know the CI and
  • 00:32:01
    remote execution aspects of hord are
  • 00:32:04
    becoming production ready with 55 so
  • 00:32:07
    that's kind of part of the system right
  • 00:32:08
    it all start to interoperate very well
  • 00:32:11
    and then I think also really exciting is
  • 00:32:13
    that we now have a thing that we call
  • 00:32:15
    the UI Studio Telemetry and hord
  • 00:32:18
    analytics so that's basically a way that
  • 00:32:21
    all our tools kind of uh uh throw
  • 00:32:25
    analytics that you can hook into your
  • 00:32:27
    own kind of back can't but you can
  • 00:32:30
    introspect um you know developer
  • 00:32:32
    iteration problems across your entire
  • 00:32:34
    team right uh you know things like um uh
  • 00:32:37
    regression in like kpis like coup times
  • 00:32:41
    or or asset sizes or or compilation
  • 00:32:44
    times and all that kind of stuff so
  • 00:32:45
    there's a lot of OT lot of work there
  • 00:32:47
    but you can use that and extend it and
  • 00:32:48
    put your own back end in that and all
  • 00:32:50
    that so um really cool um future uh
  • 00:32:56
    bunch of work in in flight still uba
  • 00:32:58
    still has uh some improvements coming
  • 00:33:01
    you know we were considering a built
  • 00:33:03
    cach server that should greatly increase
  • 00:33:06
    uh compilation speed again so that's
  • 00:33:07
    cool uh horde gets busy idle support
  • 00:33:11
    which allows you to run that more
  • 00:33:13
    efficiently on a on a on a on a build
  • 00:33:15
    farm so it can kind of uh um start
  • 00:33:18
    processes uh you know more processes on
  • 00:33:20
    the single single machine and uh we're
  • 00:33:22
    working on like supporting your work
  • 00:33:24
    from home and VPN relay type things to
  • 00:33:28
    uh enable uh uba uh at home but also you
  • 00:33:32
    know improve Network congestion when
  • 00:33:34
    you're at home and and
  • 00:33:36
    such then um you know uh we have the
  • 00:33:41
    other area is editor and Target
  • 00:33:42
    iteration and we have this whole Zen
  • 00:33:44
    tools tool chain there and um you know a
  • 00:33:47
    couple things are going through
  • 00:33:48
    production ready so the first thing is
  • 00:33:50
    like Zen loader which is uh really an
  • 00:33:53
    optimized loading path uh that will
  • 00:33:55
    increase performance in in all places
  • 00:33:58
    where you're loading stuff from like
  • 00:33:59
    starting the editor loading a map
  • 00:34:01
    starting P but also accelerating the C
  • 00:34:04
    processes by uh using this this faster
  • 00:34:06
    load system um we also have shared DDC
  • 00:34:11
    for Windows being coming production
  • 00:34:13
    ready so uh you know the concept there
  • 00:34:15
    is really that anything that anyone has
  • 00:34:17
    built on the local network uh already
  • 00:34:21
    you don't have to build yourself anymore
  • 00:34:23
    right you can share it you can cash it
  • 00:34:25
    and distribute it like
  • 00:34:26
    that then um we have uh the Zen cooked
  • 00:34:32
    output store which stores uh cooked
  • 00:34:35
    Assets in Zen and directly fetches the
  • 00:34:38
    cooked assets so you don't have to cook
  • 00:34:39
    it locally anymore we have thing called
  • 00:34:42
    Zen snapshots where you can make a
  • 00:34:43
    snapshot of a build machine and kind of
  • 00:34:46
    copy that to another build machine so
  • 00:34:48
    continue uh the uh the um uh
  • 00:34:53
    the the process and and it's much faster
  • 00:34:56
    to kind of do that
  • 00:34:58
    um um then we have uh Zen Target
  • 00:35:02
    platform streaming which is exciting
  • 00:35:04
    because you know the goal is we want to
  • 00:35:06
    have better on target iteration times
  • 00:35:09
    and for that we don't want to uh have
  • 00:35:11
    you to C package copy the files over to
  • 00:35:14
    your console Etc so we use uh Zen uh
  • 00:35:19
    streaming to stream the content directly
  • 00:35:22
    from uh the editor for your PC to your
  • 00:35:24
    console and uh and and be much faster
  • 00:35:26
    like that and it's kind of similar to to
  • 00:35:28
    logal uh reads from the SSD so it's uh
  • 00:35:32
    it's it's great for for development on
  • 00:35:37
    target then uh future stuff um lot of
  • 00:35:41
    work ongoing uh right uh we plan to
  • 00:35:44
    introduce async loading into into the
  • 00:35:47
    editor so that will optimize startup
  • 00:35:49
    loading reducing hitching on on starting
  • 00:35:52
    the editor starting pi and all that um
  • 00:35:56
    we have our R&D well over the past
  • 00:35:59
    couple years already but we have ongoing
  • 00:36:01
    R&D into like um efficient and stable
  • 00:36:05
    incremental cooking and uh we're aiming
  • 00:36:07
    to make that default so uh that's going
  • 00:36:11
    to be a huge Improvement in in cook
  • 00:36:14
    through poot and performance and um yeah
  • 00:36:17
    down you know the the last Point here is
  • 00:36:19
    that we're really looking at like what's
  • 00:36:22
    the kind of minimal data Transformations
  • 00:36:24
    that we can do to uh convert content uh
  • 00:36:28
    instead of just having to kind of
  • 00:36:29
    naively go through every freaking uh
  • 00:36:32
    piece of content and cook everything and
  • 00:36:34
    Etc so we need better dependency we need
  • 00:36:36
    that incremental cooking uh uh type
  • 00:36:39
    stuff and uh yeah this is is kind of a
  • 00:36:42
    long-term effort but really high on our
  • 00:36:44
    on our agenda and we're modeling some of
  • 00:36:46
    this stuff as well on like the learnings
  • 00:36:48
    we see from ufn because you know
  • 00:36:51
    obviously um you know that that that's
  • 00:36:53
    maybe different but in the end if you
  • 00:36:55
    think of that metaverse you want don't
  • 00:36:56
    want to re C the metaverse if uh if if
  • 00:36:59
    if you change a file format or whatever
  • 00:37:01
    so you know you have to kind of consider
  • 00:37:03
    much different concepts of like
  • 00:37:05
    stability of files or or uh you know
  • 00:37:09
    such
  • 00:37:12
    things so uh platforms and mobile so um
  • 00:37:16
    you know obviously big part of anal
  • 00:37:18
    engine is that it's uh runs on
  • 00:37:20
    everything that has GPU and uh we uh
  • 00:37:24
    want to provide these tools that can run
  • 00:37:26
    and make it scale to uh any platform
  • 00:37:30
    that that's out there so um you know in
  • 00:37:34
    that in this realm right we're working
  • 00:37:36
    like I said on like platform iteration
  • 00:37:37
    On Target platform iteration On Target
  • 00:37:40
    uh profiling uh testing such things make
  • 00:37:44
    that a lot easier and uh you know we
  • 00:37:46
    can't really talk about many of the
  • 00:37:48
    platforms because of the ndas you know
  • 00:37:50
    we can talk about mobile I'm going to
  • 00:37:51
    talk about mobile uh a bunch uh
  • 00:37:54
    now so um you know
  • 00:37:58
    bunch of improvements coming into into
  • 00:38:00
    into Mobile um you know I'll go I'll go
  • 00:38:03
    over some of them right we end up with a
  • 00:38:05
    lot of slides so maybe maybe I'll just
  • 00:38:06
    go go go fast um you know we want to um
  • 00:38:10
    enable the desktop defert renderer on
  • 00:38:13
    mobile and uh for like high-end mobile
  • 00:38:16
    and also allow like mobile rate racing
  • 00:38:18
    support on that on that renderer on on
  • 00:38:21
    mobile which is nice uh you know General
  • 00:38:24
    mobile uh improvements in like
  • 00:38:28
    uh the the normal renderer maybe not the
  • 00:38:30
    desktop deferred renderer or like screen
  • 00:38:32
    space reflection um you know uh and and
  • 00:38:36
    and other aspects of forward rendering
  • 00:38:38
    like deals and different lights and
  • 00:38:40
    point Light Shadows and and such things
  • 00:38:43
    and uh we also have experimental Lumen
  • 00:38:46
    running on uh uh mobile as well so
  • 00:38:50
    that's uh nice you know down the line
  • 00:38:53
    right we we'd like to uh see if it can
  • 00:38:56
    run nanit on on mobile so you kind of uh
  • 00:38:59
    unify kind of the content uh creation
  • 00:39:01
    pipeline so the same content can run on
  • 00:39:03
    all the platforms and maybe just with
  • 00:39:05
    scalability you can you can tweak the
  • 00:39:07
    the the the size and the and the
  • 00:39:09
    complexity and all that but that's still
  • 00:39:12
    like future R&D uh for us but you know
  • 00:39:15
    considering our big efforts on mobile uh
  • 00:39:18
    you know we we're putting horsepower
  • 00:39:19
    behind it
  • 00:39:22
    so so tools wise on mobile I think the
  • 00:39:25
    interesting thing is that obviously have
  • 00:39:27
    a lot lot less memory and uh all the the
  • 00:39:30
    inefficiencies of an real engine become
  • 00:39:32
    much more apparent uh running on a on a
  • 00:39:36
    couple of gigabytes available uh memory
  • 00:39:38
    mobile platform so uh we have extended
  • 00:39:42
    kind of memory Insight support to be
  • 00:39:44
    better analyzing where the memory is
  • 00:39:46
    going right we've done a lot of memory
  • 00:39:48
    savings as part of our uh mobile efforts
  • 00:39:51
    to get fortnite back into the store
  • 00:39:52
    because yeah we haven't been able to
  • 00:39:54
    develop on iOS for for for for quite
  • 00:39:56
    some time so we had to kind of recl Cl
  • 00:39:59
    back a lot more memory after like two
  • 00:40:00
    years of uh frantic fortnite development
  • 00:40:04
    uh and that's now on the engine right so
  • 00:40:06
    so so so that will help anybody on
  • 00:40:08
    basically any platform as well um you
  • 00:40:11
    know then down the line we want to um
  • 00:40:15
    you know generally build much better
  • 00:40:17
    tools to analyze asset costs per
  • 00:40:21
    platform and also making some of these
  • 00:40:23
    per platform properties more easy to
  • 00:40:26
    find um um so that that's a big big big
  • 00:40:31
    big big thing as well right and then you
  • 00:40:33
    know the last aspect of that is that
  • 00:40:34
    there are certain core uee systems like
  • 00:40:38
    um f names uh asset cataloges
  • 00:40:42
    localization data Etc that are just
  • 00:40:45
    terribly huge so we need to kind of work
  • 00:40:47
    on kind of decreasing that size and uh
  • 00:40:50
    and and that's in Flight as well
  • 00:40:54
    um then um on mobile
  • 00:40:57
    um you know obviously if you want to run
  • 00:40:59
    a device that should be possible but uh
  • 00:41:01
    you know because you have so many
  • 00:41:03
    devices it needs to be uh easier to kind
  • 00:41:06
    of preview all these various devices
  • 00:41:08
    directly from the editor so we have this
  • 00:41:10
    thing that we call the the the the the
  • 00:41:12
    mobile preview which is now getting uh
  • 00:41:15
    production ready so you can see like the
  • 00:41:17
    the the correct output of the renderer
  • 00:41:20
    at the right resolution and uh and all
  • 00:41:23
    that so you can tune your UI design and
  • 00:41:26
    see that you know we have further
  • 00:41:27
    improvements there and then um down the
  • 00:41:31
    line uh sorry I'll get to that uh you
  • 00:41:33
    know the other thing is like that on
  • 00:41:34
    device iteration and there we're using
  • 00:41:37
    some of that uh console enhancement by
  • 00:41:39
    just streaming the the the content to
  • 00:41:41
    the mobile device instead of again
  • 00:41:43
    having to copy it over with like Arcane
  • 00:41:45
    tools on like Android and such things so
  • 00:41:50
    um
  • 00:41:52
    yeah then on to simulation so uh
  • 00:41:55
    simulation what we say is both uh chaos
  • 00:41:59
    and both Niagara kind of combined right
  • 00:42:01
    really right we want to enable Dynamic
  • 00:42:03
    gameplay that reacts to the player
  • 00:42:05
    reacts to the changing world uh you know
  • 00:42:08
    uh can be photo realistic can generate
  • 00:42:11
    photo realistic humans with like flesh
  • 00:42:13
    and cloth and uh and secondary motion
  • 00:42:16
    and all that every using starting to use
  • 00:42:18
    more and more machine learning methods
  • 00:42:20
    to uh optimize that uh the content
  • 00:42:24
    creation but also the calculation of
  • 00:42:26
    these uh of these uh
  • 00:42:28
    simulations um so yeah a lot of work has
  • 00:42:32
    been uh going into that um you know on
  • 00:42:35
    chos specifically uh a lot of bullet
  • 00:42:38
    points maybe go over a few um you know
  • 00:42:41
    the ml flesh and full muscular Sims are
  • 00:42:45
    now uh uh can now be created fully in
  • 00:42:48
    engine so you don't need an external
  • 00:42:49
    tool for it anymore so all this stuff
  • 00:42:51
    that you see here can do completely in
  • 00:42:53
    the engine and uh and and set up and
  • 00:42:55
    again right this will re result in sub
  • 00:42:59
    millisecond uh um uh runtime cost per
  • 00:43:03
    character on like a console so it's
  • 00:43:05
    super fast you get like crazy crazy
  • 00:43:07
    detail and Fidelity out of that um we
  • 00:43:11
    also are in introducing with 55 a
  • 00:43:13
    modular vehicle system that allows you
  • 00:43:16
    like like building blocks to create uh
  • 00:43:18
    and customize vehicles uh easily you
  • 00:43:21
    know it can support cars motorcycles
  • 00:43:24
    planes helicopters and and all that so
  • 00:43:26
    that's that's quite cool um last but not
  • 00:43:31
    least on that thing is the Gen the chaos
  • 00:43:34
    visual debugger that can now uh look at
  • 00:43:37
    uh the state of your physics Sim see
  • 00:43:39
    what's Sleeping what's actually uh uh
  • 00:43:42
    being collided with and uh and all that
  • 00:43:44
    so that got got a lot of um um
  • 00:43:48
    improvements as well this time and then
  • 00:43:51
    uh chaos Destruction has gotten a good
  • 00:43:53
    pass on like uh performance and memory
  • 00:43:56
    usage and uh editor uh usability and all
  • 00:44:00
    that
  • 00:44:01
    um then a new thing that we have uh we
  • 00:44:06
    we call like the data flow editor and
  • 00:44:08
    it's kind of an experimental feature in
  • 00:44:10
    55 that allows you to make like a
  • 00:44:14
    procedural
  • 00:44:15
    non-destructive uh asset within with
  • 00:44:18
    with like a note-based setup so um you
  • 00:44:21
    know chaos cloth flash destruction use
  • 00:44:24
    this new kind of data flow Paradigm
  • 00:44:26
    under eat and uh hair will will get that
  • 00:44:30
    down the line so it's a much easier way
  • 00:44:32
    to edit edit those things and you know
  • 00:44:34
    then you know generally right with with
  • 00:44:36
    chaos we keep keep focusing on
  • 00:44:39
    performance right and um you know many
  • 00:44:43
    things in performance but especially
  • 00:44:44
    stuff like well when you're streaming
  • 00:44:46
    when you're adding things to the world
  • 00:44:48
    make that faster right not make it hitch
  • 00:44:50
    make it scale do like hundreds or
  • 00:44:52
    thousands or or or more objects
  • 00:44:55
    efficiently and uh and all that
  • 00:44:59
    um then um in the future we have uh
  • 00:45:03
    plans to uh um like fully automate and
  • 00:45:07
    enable the muscle skeletal simulation
  • 00:45:11
    inside the editor itself so again we see
  • 00:45:13
    a lot of benefits of using ml trained uh
  • 00:45:17
    systems to uh to create uh these complex
  • 00:45:20
    uh things uh inside the editor uh
  • 00:45:22
    completely without having to do all the
  • 00:45:24
    manual work and uh
  • 00:45:27
    you know the plan is to be able to apply
  • 00:45:29
    that to any meta human right so uh that
  • 00:45:31
    that you can get this fality on on any
  • 00:45:33
    imported uh uh
  • 00:45:37
    character then um going over to Niagara
  • 00:45:42
    so um you know we have a bunch of things
  • 00:45:44
    coming into production ready uh such as
  • 00:45:46
    stateless and lightweight emitters that
  • 00:45:49
    will uh take far less uh CPU and GPU and
  • 00:45:53
    memory and also kind of our faster to
  • 00:45:55
    develop with uh also run nicely on
  • 00:45:58
    mobile right if you have constrained
  • 00:45:59
    performance these things work better so
  • 00:46:02
    we'll keep expanding uh that thing we
  • 00:46:05
    have uh improved performance using uh
  • 00:46:08
    simulation caches data channels and uh
  • 00:46:11
    you know generally aiming to get much
  • 00:46:13
    more of uh the game Trad but also reduce
  • 00:46:16
    the render Trad in general so we have
  • 00:46:19
    more time to do complex things uh next
  • 00:46:22
    to running your game um you know in
  • 00:46:26
    terms of improved iteration and uxx uh
  • 00:46:29
    we now have an async uh compilation mode
  • 00:46:32
    so you don't have to wait for it and it
  • 00:46:34
    just runs in the background and Rec
  • 00:46:35
    compiles all those Niagara shaders and
  • 00:46:39
    and whatever uh and you know the
  • 00:46:41
    stateless workflow helps there as well
  • 00:46:43
    so that they'll be much faster to uh to
  • 00:46:46
    use and then uh you know we also are
  • 00:46:50
    looking at like improving the
  • 00:46:52
    heterogenous uh volume image
  • 00:46:55
    quality uh so of like indirect lighting
  • 00:46:58
    with like self occlusion on like these
  • 00:47:01
    these complex Sims and such and uh we
  • 00:47:05
    also are introducing new um uh
  • 00:47:09
    scalability controls to uh tune
  • 00:47:11
    performance if you're on like a current
  • 00:47:13
    gen high-end console and uh want to run
  • 00:47:16
    these kind of complex things on on
  • 00:47:18
    Console so yeah we need better uh
  • 00:47:20
    control on performance
  • 00:47:24
    there so yeah the future here is uh you
  • 00:47:27
    know a lot of continued work on on
  • 00:47:30
    workflows and uh and uh reducing the
  • 00:47:33
    user fiction you know the the the system
  • 00:47:35
    maybe became a bit uh too expert level
  • 00:47:38
    uh so yeah there's there there's a bunch
  • 00:47:40
    of work there uh but also supporting
  • 00:47:42
    more of these kind of stateless particle
  • 00:47:44
    systems Concepts and uh that again also
  • 00:47:47
    help like mobile and and such things you
  • 00:47:51
    know uh then finally on that slide is as
  • 00:47:55
    well like you know we've find that it's
  • 00:47:57
    really interesting to have bggg work
  • 00:48:00
    together with Niagara and vice versa so
  • 00:48:02
    you can have like these different Sims
  • 00:48:04
    kind of affect each other and kind of
  • 00:48:06
    inform each other and can read uh read
  • 00:48:08
    back and forth so that's uh that's also
  • 00:48:11
    in flight and um
  • 00:48:16
    interesting so yeah framework so uh
  • 00:48:19
    framework is basically all our gameplay
  • 00:48:22
    systems right which we want to keep
  • 00:48:23
    expanding you know to create these
  • 00:48:25
    really complex and uh and uh and uh uh
  • 00:48:29
    enlarge uh worlds right in in your games
  • 00:48:33
    so we know we have two big aspects we
  • 00:48:36
    want to improve the workflows and we
  • 00:48:37
    want to you improve the performance you
  • 00:48:39
    know workflows we have things like
  • 00:48:41
    enhanced inut mover plugin
  • 00:48:44
    modularization of the gamep playay
  • 00:48:46
    ability System state three smart op all
  • 00:48:49
    those kind of things and then on
  • 00:48:50
    performance we looking at a lot of like
  • 00:48:52
    things like Mass instant actors
  • 00:48:55
    navigation on demand and uh Iris
  • 00:48:58
    networking and
  • 00:48:59
    such so yeah first thing is uh that
  • 00:49:02
    we're going to talk about is State Tre
  • 00:49:04
    so State Tre is getting a bunch of uh
  • 00:49:06
    improvements in 55 um much more robust
  • 00:49:10
    event support and support for tax and
  • 00:49:13
    payload trucks in state Tre uh you know
  • 00:49:17
    on the runtime uh part we are uh you
  • 00:49:21
    know we want to run like um uh task in
  • 00:49:25
    parallel and The Binding function
  • 00:49:26
    parallel to automatically convert from
  • 00:49:28
    like input formats uh we have a state
  • 00:49:31
    three diff tool that allows you to like
  • 00:49:35
    similar to a blueprint have two State
  • 00:49:37
    Tre opened and quickly look through the
  • 00:49:39
    changes and compare uh the changes
  • 00:49:42
    between revisions so that's useful there
  • 00:49:45
    and then um you know future improvements
  • 00:49:49
    in state three
  • 00:49:53
    uh includes allowing state to uh be
  • 00:49:57
    event driven uh have better thck
  • 00:49:59
    performance and reducing the overhead of
  • 00:50:02
    these assets right they've grown out of
  • 00:50:04
    control maybe um and uh you know um many
  • 00:50:08
    more things like
  • 00:50:10
    that so yeah the Mover plugin is um um
  • 00:50:15
    coming in 55 uh you know the the it's
  • 00:50:19
    really kind of integrating all this ue5
  • 00:50:21
    runtime animation things into a single
  • 00:50:23
    system and uh we keep developing this
  • 00:50:26
    and making that character mover uh
  • 00:50:28
    better uh so yeah this time it's is
  • 00:50:31
    starting to support motion warping
  • 00:50:33
    improve animation root motion support uh
  • 00:50:36
    trajectory queries for uh motion
  • 00:50:39
    matching and uh and and
  • 00:50:43
    such um sorry then on uh Mass so um mass
  • 00:50:50
    is uh you know our kind of lightweight
  • 00:50:53
    kind of uh entity based kind of game
  • 00:50:55
    system that we kind of introdu use for
  • 00:50:56
    like the Matrix uh demo back in the back
  • 00:50:59
    in the day and we we're seeing more and
  • 00:51:02
    more use cases for that where we um um
  • 00:51:06
    you know have uh a way to convert like
  • 00:51:09
    lightweight entities to fully uh loaded
  • 00:51:13
    actor and components and and and back
  • 00:51:15
    and forth to kind of have like a a far
  • 00:51:18
    away uh detail system and and or a far
  • 00:51:21
    away Sim and a and and a close by uh
  • 00:51:24
    detailed uh uh interaction system with
  • 00:51:27
    with with characters so yeah one of
  • 00:51:29
    these Concepts is what we call like
  • 00:51:31
    smart objects which we think of that the
  • 00:51:34
    the One-Stop shop for all interactions
  • 00:51:36
    in the game so we've done that for NPCs
  • 00:51:40
    but we're now using like uh we're
  • 00:51:42
    working on like client s side uh
  • 00:51:45
    predicted interaction for a player so
  • 00:51:48
    you can also use it for multiplayer
  • 00:51:49
    games right down the down the down the
  • 00:51:51
    line um you know instance actors is that
  • 00:51:55
    way to kind of replace actors by mass
  • 00:51:57
    entities and convert them on the Fly uh
  • 00:52:00
    and uh you know we can see a lot more
  • 00:52:03
    performance that way in like densely
  • 00:52:05
    populated open world uh um uh
  • 00:52:08
    environments and we also want to do that
  • 00:52:11
    for moving objects in the future so um
  • 00:52:15
    yeah and then uh a bunch of work on like
  • 00:52:18
    uh spawning performance here and uh
  • 00:52:21
    updating and Ticking uh a huge amount of
  • 00:52:24
    assets so that's all in uh in Mass um
  • 00:52:29
    you know the other thing on mass is we
  • 00:52:31
    want to ex ex expose more of the basic U
  • 00:52:35
    uee systems to mass so uh uee or mass
  • 00:52:39
    can uh can can can do uh you know
  • 00:52:41
    navigation quering and uh and and and
  • 00:52:44
    such directly from that instead of
  • 00:52:46
    having to use a full actor for those
  • 00:52:48
    kind of
  • 00:52:50
    things then on networking so we have
  • 00:52:54
    Iris that has been flying under the
  • 00:52:55
    radar for quite some time uh you know
  • 00:52:58
    our work has been to kind of run that in
  • 00:53:00
    fortnite and see if we can actually make
  • 00:53:01
    things much faster when we run uh
  • 00:53:04
    instead of the rap graph we run uh Iris
  • 00:53:06
    on on fortnite so now we have shipped it
  • 00:53:09
    on fortnite v um and we continue to
  • 00:53:12
    develop this so uh from a you know uh um
  • 00:53:17
    you know the the comparing the the the
  • 00:53:20
    the the the performance graphs we're
  • 00:53:22
    seeing uh about 20% average frame time
  • 00:53:26
    Improvement right now uh compared to rep
  • 00:53:29
    graph with like much lower hitch
  • 00:53:33
    counts um then in the future we plan to
  • 00:53:36
    make net dri uh work better over
  • 00:53:40
    multiple cores uh so get get that tick
  • 00:53:43
    uh much down and then we want to make
  • 00:53:45
    the overall push model much better to by
  • 00:53:50
    uh uh by by tracking per property and
  • 00:53:53
    maybe even be able to skipping
  • 00:53:55
    replication state completely in uh in uh
  • 00:53:58
    in in uh you know this this networking
  • 00:54:01
    aspect um and then we have a new um tool
  • 00:54:06
    built into and header tool where uh we
  • 00:54:09
    want to extend the you property
  • 00:54:11
    replication options which would then
  • 00:54:13
    replace many of the net serialization
  • 00:54:16
    options so that will be another kind of
  • 00:54:19
    uh Improvement big Improvement for the
  • 00:54:20
    for the speed of uh of of Iris and then
  • 00:54:24
    lastly you want to have like uh replay
  • 00:54:26
    boort in uh in Irish going forward so
  • 00:54:30
    yeah um on to like navigation so uh we
  • 00:54:34
    we're spending a lot of time on uh
  • 00:54:36
    automatic nav link generation to do uh
  • 00:54:39
    runtime and and uh and uh Dynamic nef
  • 00:54:44
    nef Mass generation if your level is
  • 00:54:46
    changing a lot and such things or if the
  • 00:54:48
    level is too big and you can't store all
  • 00:54:50
    the all the all the nef information on
  • 00:54:53
    on your level and uh that will allow
  • 00:54:56
    like procedure will to have much more
  • 00:54:58
    organic and natural NPC navigation and
  • 00:55:01
    not rely on all these hand-placed uh um
  • 00:55:04
    aspects anymore you know going forward
  • 00:55:07
    you want to better support the baked n
  • 00:55:10
    mesh if you need that for your game into
  • 00:55:12
    work petition right now that's kind of
  • 00:55:14
    clunky and uh we want to have um further
  • 00:55:17
    navlink improvements for for like long
  • 00:55:20
    range n links or uh uh the dynamic
  • 00:55:23
    generation of those NV links um um as
  • 00:55:28
    well so yeah um last section is audio so
  • 00:55:34
    um big Focus for us is now getting back
  • 00:55:37
    on like core feature development with
  • 00:55:39
    meta sounds uh we we're getting a lot of
  • 00:55:41
    new audio widgets which is always fun
  • 00:55:43
    because audio designers love their
  • 00:55:45
    widgets so we have a lot of dials and
  • 00:55:47
    Sliders and and cool things coming uh
  • 00:55:50
    you know we have meta sound support for
  • 00:55:53
    scalability at at scale right for form
  • 00:55:56
    with LDS on on sounds and systems and
  • 00:56:00
    and such and um then a lot of work is
  • 00:56:03
    ongoing into um workflows and ux
  • 00:56:07
    improvements uh uh in general for for
  • 00:56:10
    for for um uh meta sounds and uh also
  • 00:56:15
    having better uh debugging uh
  • 00:56:18
    functionality with like analyzing tabs
  • 00:56:20
    and a lot of polish on ux and a
  • 00:56:22
    standalone mode where you can connect it
  • 00:56:24
    to your mobile or your cons all and kind
  • 00:56:26
    of see what what what sound is playing
  • 00:56:28
    and where the performance is going and
  • 00:56:30
    uh all that and with tail recording
  • 00:56:33
    recording support as well so you can
  • 00:56:35
    just record the last kind of bunch of
  • 00:56:38
    seconds of your audio and kind of debug
  • 00:56:40
    that like why why was that uh playing or
  • 00:56:43
    sounding like that
  • 00:56:45
    Etc then in the future the things that
  • 00:56:48
    we're working on is uh audio property
  • 00:56:50
    sheets uh unsurprisingly probably many
  • 00:56:53
    of you have been asking for that um with
  • 00:56:56
    which will you know basically get it
  • 00:56:58
    closer to some of the other middleware
  • 00:57:00
    and uh and you know have like cascading
  • 00:57:02
    overridable properties on your sounds
  • 00:57:05
    and and such and then uh we are using
  • 00:57:08
    working on a you know dialogue system as
  • 00:57:10
    well combined with like the the the the
  • 00:57:12
    sequencer efforts on like a Dynam
  • 00:57:15
    Dynamic uh cinematic uh dialogue system
  • 00:57:19
    and we have a thing in Flight called
  • 00:57:21
    underscore which is a procedural music
  • 00:57:24
    plug-in that can have you like turny
  • 00:57:27
    interactive music and and
  • 00:57:30
    such so I got through
  • 00:57:33
    it that's a
  • 00:57:38
    lot um dates what you looking for so
  • 00:57:42
    five5 is out now yay uh preview one uh
  • 00:57:45
    release November so uh we're on track on
  • 00:57:48
    that so that's exciting
  • 00:57:51
    u56 will be late spring so jish
  • 00:57:56
    uh so that's the date we're working on
  • 00:57:58
    right now we are uh continually aiming
  • 00:58:01
    for like two releases per
  • 00:58:03
    year you know the end of the year
  • 00:58:06
    release like this release uh next year
  • 00:58:08
    is probably a similar time frame as well
  • 00:58:11
    so uh that's basically our our Rhythm
  • 00:58:13
    right now and uh yeah that's uh that's
  • 00:58:16
    what we're working on so uh road map is
  • 00:58:20
    here uh Future Part of road map has been
  • 00:58:23
    updated all the five five features that
  • 00:58:26
    I talked about are here as well with
  • 00:58:28
    much more detail uh you know can leave
  • 00:58:30
    comments as well demo read it so please
  • 00:58:33
    take a look scan the code and all that
  • 00:58:35
    I'll leave it up here and uh that's it
  • 00:58:37
    thank you
  • 00:58:39
