Unreal Engine 5 has finally arrived on our screens, and at FX ANIMATION, we have been proclaimed as the first official school and Academic Partner of UNREAL ENGINE in Catalonia. Therefore, on May 19th, we held a presentation day in our facilities, with the collaboration of Epic Games, where we talked about the applications and all the novelties that this new version of the software, which is revolutionizing the audiovisual industry as we know it, brings.
If you missed the event, don't worry! In this post, we tell you about some of the most relevant details you should know. Are you ready to discover everything that Unreal 5 has to offer?
What does the new Unreal Engine 5 bring us?
Unreal Engine 5 is the new graphics engine created by Epic Games that is already available for free in its final version. Remember that in 2021, it was released in early access and already gave us a glimpse of the differences from its predecessors. The main one? This new version of the software brings what has already become the new generation of graphics marked by hyperrealism. Additionally, another point that has always attracted attention to Unreal Engine is its rendering engine, and generation after generation, they have improved it at almost dizzying levels.
It is one of the most widely used tools, not only in video game development but also within areas such as infoarchitecture, cinema, vfx, animation, or compositing. And all of this is achieved thanks to its multiple innovative systems in terms of lighting, geometry, sound, animation, modeling, and resolution, such as: Lumen, Nanite, MetaSounds, World Partition, Control Rig, Chaos Physics, or Motion Warping, among others. Dynamic scenarios endowed with greater naturalness and maximum detail, regardless of their scale, that make us experience an unprecedented immersive experience.
What does it mean to be an Academic Partner of Unreal Engine?
Saying that FX ANIMATION is an Academic Partner of Unreal Engine means that we have gone a step further in implementing its application in our training. We have highly experienced and qualified teachers in its practice, who have been evaluated by Epic Games to ensure a high quality in the levels of training we offer.
Unreal Engine is present in all our areas, and we are very grateful for the direct feedback and all the support that Epic Games provides us. By being part of all this, we collaborate in improving their software, so that it continues to develop its implementation and expand its horizons in other professional fields. We never tire of saying it: the future is here.
