Epic Games Releases Open World Technology Demo Assets

April 6, 2015 by Jacob Saylor

The future is bright for games.

Epic Games is at the forefront of gaming's elite developers. They consistently create some of the best technology for use in game development, and they share it with everybody else. Their mastery over the elements of graphical design are second to none.

The company has released the assets concerning their latest technology demo, which comes in the form of: A Boy and His Kite: An Animated Short." This demo follows a young boy who loses his kite while playing one day. He tries to find it and discovers a beautiful world, painted with picturesque landscapes.

Here are the technical details of the demo:

-42 Photo-realistic meshes with LODs
-17 Foliage
-21 Rocks
– 4 Trees
-138 Textures from 2048 up to 8192
-14 Tiling Ground Materials with Normal and Displacement maps

Epic Games made a statement about it as well:

“For larger assets such as rocks, ground tiles, cliffs faces and tree trunks, reconstruction was performed directly from photographs using a process called photogrammetry. These assets were then put through a proprietary ‘de-lighting’ process to make them suitable for use in any lighting scenario. Specular and roughness maps where then created to take full advantage of Unreal Engine 4’s Physically Based Rendering architecture. Finally game-optimized assets were generated with normal maps, LODs and collision meshes."

"For vegetation such as flowers, bushes and grass we used color calibrated reference photography shot in the field to more accurately model and texture these assets.”

You can download the assets here.
