The bar of quality and performance on next-gen platforms has been raised once again with Unreal Engine 5. However, a significant gap has emerged between these advanced features and their mobile counterparts. In this presentation, we will explore how the presenters addressed the challenge of developing high-quality UE5 mobile games involving the implementation of multiple optimizations and creation of new mobile rendering pipelines.
Similarly, MetaHuman by Epic revolutionized character creation technology, yet challenges in performance and customization persist. This session will introduce a groundbreaking character creation pipeline designed for crafting high-definition, animation-ready characters that enhance the immersion in the next-level metaverse. The creators will showcase a novel system, built upon multimodal machine learning techniques, that empowers both artists and gamers to generate hyper-realistic avatars seamlessly from photos, sketches, or even text within seconds.
Attendees will gain insights into LIGHTSPEED STUDIOS' groundbreaking R&D, exploring the transformative synergy of Unreal Engine 5 and machine learning, while discovering the innovative character pipeline, real-time customization, and practical strategies for optimizing UE5 mobile games.
The session is ideal for gaming professionals, developers, and enthusiasts who are keen on the latest in character design, UE5 deployment, and the impact of machine learning in the metaverse and game development.
