Unreal Engine 4 now free

[Arwin]

As of November UE4 can also use c# apparently but c++ is the default.

/cry. I want to make my game so badly, but I'm torn between trying to learn how to write my own graphics engine and just putting out a product. I guess even with UE4 you're still going to have to write some graphics code so this might be where I should actually start before jumping any lower level.

I guess I suck with level makers though, this part has always killed me about these large engines.

Give these videos a watch:

If you're trying to build a game for the first time, start small. Hell if possible start 2D. Use something like Clickteam Fusion to put something together.

It'll be my second game sorta First game was a port from PC to PSN, so I was never involved in the designing of the mechanics and what not, I pretty much made what they told me to. I learned a lot there since I did it all, but I was never involved in the project scope, gameplay, etc... generally how to design the game before you program it.

But thank you I'll look through these episodes and scope my project properly,I appreciate the love on this forum.

Unreal Engine 4 Koola Project is Mind Blowing

So when you see the video after the break, your will probably get the same idea as me,"that has got to be fake". But hey, Unreal Engine forum member by the name of koola released screenshots from his latest project, fully procedural ground textures.

As a brazilian, I am impressed with the authenticity of this. Must have come from a brazilian person, which I hadn´t seen much of within the high-end side of modding and game art scene until now. Though I don´t follow that stuff that much anyway.

I see some parallax artefacts on the floor! D:

Pretty nice shadows anyway.

South/Mediterranean-European (very) old kitchens look the same too.

I was about to say just that.

Unreal Engine 4 Elemental DX12 Tech Demo Download
August 7, 2015


~98 GB

98GB? The download is 1GB. A 98GB tech demo would be impressive in its own right, but perhaps a bit too decadent in 2015.

My bad ... sorry. Slow download speeds and a hangover does funny things to your eyesight!

Either the DX12 binary or the graphics driver is bugged for me -- flickering all over the place. The DX11 path runs fine and fast (~120 FPS).

 

[James Lyndon]

The DX12 version of the elemental tech demo ran fine for me, albeit a little slower than the DX11 version. Oddly enough, the DX11 version crashed the first time I ran it, and both times the graphics were screwed up a little. What looked like lens flares were shown several times that took up a large portion of the screen.

 

[Clukos]

Will try on a 970 and post results

Getting weird flickering too in the Dx12 version, Dx11 version runs better but is missing some effects. Overall performance between 90 and 120 with some drops to 50~ in demanding scenes.

Superb lighting effects, very realistic ....

CryZENx has released a new demo for Unreal Engine 4, based on a house interior. The level of detail in this demo is incredible.

Elemental Demo works fine on R9 290X in DX12. It seems to have slight stutters from time to time in DX12 and Afterburners OSD is not working in DX12 mode but frame limiter is
