It has become known that Unreal Engine 5 has shown us the true capabilities of today's home consoles. It is easy for developers to get development tools and full support.

Many game development studios large and small have become primarily dependent on developing their games on the new generation of Unreal Engine 5, which was announced last year. Which is more advanced than the previous version.

This new version of the engine, version 5.1, makes current-generation 3D rendering and real-time experiences easier, more efficient, and smoother. And versatile for most digital industries.

According to EPIC, Unreal Engine 5.1 has been released with several major improvements that have made the game look even better. The new engine update lets you dive into major upcoming performance and functionality improvements for features like Lumen, Nanite, World Partition, Virtual Shadow Maps, and more.

This news is a valuable opportunity to see how recent your device is and its compatibility with new-generation engines. Epic has released a free demo of the engine called Unreal Engine 5.1 Nanite Redwood Forest Demo. Where you will really test the power of your computer, where you will take a walk in the forests full of snow and giant trees, see modern shadow techniques, light reflections on polygons and many revolutionary things. at the maximum settings and possible precision?

Version 5.1 aims to increase the chance of playing with advanced Epic Games technologies at 60 frames per second. Provided that they are used on new generation consoles or computers with standard specifications not lower than the average.

Features NANITE, LUMEN, standard shadow maps, and super temporal resolution

Unreal Engine 5 ushers in a new generation of visual fidelity, bringing an unprecedented level of detail to game worlds like Battle Royale Island. Next-generation Unreal Engine 5 features like Nanite, Lumen, virtual shadow maps, and temporary hyper-resolution are now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Cloud Play.

1- The NANITE resource

Nanite provides high-precision geometry. Specifically, buildings are rendered from millions of polygons in real time, and every brick, tile, and wall structure is modeled. With HD landscape scenes as well. Individual trees have around 300,000 polygons, and every stone, rosette, and blade of grass is also modeled.

2- The LUMEN resource

Lumen reflections provide high-quality ray-traced reflections on glossy materials and water. Lumen also renders global illumination in real time at 60 frames per second. You’ll see beautiful interiors with diffuse lighting, as well as characters interacting with the lighting in their environment. (For example, a red brushstroke might reflect red light onto their uniform.) Additionally, clothing with emissive properties (known as shiny) diffuses light onto nearby objects and surfaces.

3- Virtual shadow maps

Virtual shadow maps allow for high-resolution shading. Every brick, leaf, and detail you model will cast a shadow, and self-shadowing will appear with incredible accuracy. This means that things like hats and other small details on characters will also cast a shadow.

4- Temporary Super Resolution (TSR)

Temporary Super Resolution is an improvement over, for example, buffered anti-aliasing in the Fortnite remake, allowing for higher resolution visuals at a higher frame rate.
