| GAME ENGINE |
Black Myth: Wukong is one of the most anticipated games of recent years, and a large part of this anticipation is due to the use of an innovative game engine Unreal Engine 5. This engine brings Game Science's ambitious visions to life and plays a key role in creating visually stunning and technically challenging gameplay.
Switching from Unreal Engine 4 to Unreal Engine 5 was a solution that brought major improvements. Development of the game began on Unreal Engine 4, but the developers soon realized that they would need a new level of capabilities to realize all their ideas. Go to Unreal Engine 5 was a success and allowed the Game Science team to use the latest technologies such as Nanite and Lumen, which significantly improve the game's visual quality and performance.
Nanite: Revolutionary virtualized geometry
Nanite is one of the key features Unreal Engine 5, which revolutionized the process of creating graphics. This virtualized geometry technology allows developers to create models with extreme detail without worrying about performance. Using Nanite, developers can recreate huge and complex scenes with billions of polygons while maintaining high frame rates.
В Black Myth: Wukong Nanite technology was used to create detailed environments such as forests, mountain ranges and ancient temples. Thanks to this technology, the game demonstrates incredible depth and realism, which is especially noticeable in surface textures and fine details. For example, complex terrain and uneven stone walls, leaves and tree branches - all this is processed by the engine in real time without visible delays or performance losses.
Nanite also greatly simplifies the development process by eliminating the need to create low-poly versions of objects and "flatten" them to high-resolution textures. This allows artists to focus on creating content without worrying about how their work will scale in the game. This speeds up the content creation process and opens up new possibilities for realistic environmental simulation.
Lumen: Dynamic Global Illumination
Lumen is another key innovation Unreal Engine 5, which provides dynamic global illumination and realistic reflections in real time. This system allows light to naturally interact with objects in the game world, creating precise shadows and reflection effects.
В Black Myth: Wukong Using Lumen allows developers to recreate the atmosphere of ancient China with its unique lighting and shadows. Players can watch light filter through dense forest foliage, reflect off the surfaces of rivers and waterfalls, or interact with various textures and materials in ancient temples. Changing cycles of day and night, as well as weather conditions such as rain or snow, also contribute to the realism of the environment.
Lumen automatically adapts to changes in lighting and provides smooth transitions between different lighting conditions. This global illumination system allows you to create scenes with dynamic lighting effects that were previously only possible in pre-rendered frames. This greatly improves the visual quality of the game and helps create a more immersive atmosphere.
Realistic environment and character simulation
Unreal Engine 5 also provides developers with the tools to create highly realistic character models and environments. IN Black Myth: Wukong Particular attention was paid to detailing the main character, Sun Wukong, and his interaction with the environment. The developers used advanced technology to create realistic fur and hair models that move naturally and react to their surroundings.
The physics of fur and hair is especially noticeable in Sun Wukong's movement, where each hair moves independently, giving the appearance of real fur. This detail extends to other characters in the game, as well as various environmental elements such as grass, trees and other natural objects. All this makes the game world more alive and believable.
Another important feature used in the game is the dynamic object destruction system. Unreal Engine 5 allows you to simulate the interaction of characters with the environment, creating realistic effects of destruction and interaction of objects. For example, when Sun Wukong collides with an enemy or object, you can watch the environment react to the impact by collapsing or deforming in real time.
Features of animation and facial expressions
Animation in Black Myth: Wukong has also been significantly improved thanks to the capabilities Unreal Engine 5. The game uses advanced technology to create smooth and realistic character movements. Facial animation, in particular, plays an important role in conveying emotion and enhancing character interaction.
Unreal Engine 5 provides powerful tools for creating complex facial animations, allowing characters to express a wide range of emotions. This is achieved through the use of advanced algorithms and technologies such as motion capture and procedural animation. As a result, the characters in Black Myth: Wukong look and behave naturally, which makes them more convincing and helps players become more immersed in the gameplay.
Facial animation is also used to enhance the story's storytelling. The developers strive to convey the emotions of the characters and their interactions through detailed animations of facial muscles and facial expressions. This is especially important in scenes where tension or dramatic effect needs to be created. Unreal Engine 5 allows you to realize these ideas at the highest level, making every interaction with the characters memorable.
Performance and optimization
Despite the high detail and complex visual effects, Black Myth: Wukong features high performance and optimization. Unreal Engine 5 provides developers with many tools to customize and optimize the game, allowing it to run smoothly even on different platforms. This is especially important for graphics-intensive games such as Black Myth: Wukong.
One of the key features is the adaptive graphics settings system, which allows players to adjust the level of visual quality depending on the capabilities of their hardware. This ensures that the game will run smoothly even on less powerful systems, while maintaining a high level of detail and visual quality.
The game also uses ray tracing technology and DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), which improves the realism of lighting and reflections, as well as improves performance without losing image quality. It does Black Myth: Wukong one of the most technologically advanced games of its time, which can surprise even the most demanding players.
Unreal Engine 5 became a real breakthrough in the video game industry, and Black Myth: Wukong is a prime example of how this engine can be used to create visually stunning and technically challenging projects. Nanite and Lumen technologies, along with advanced animations, realistic simulations and high performance, create a game that sets new standards in the action RPG genre. Black Myth: Wukong promises to be not only an impressive visual masterpiece, but also a unique gaming experience that will remain in the memory of players for a long time.
