Epic's Open World demo collection is up and available right now on the Unreal Engine site, offering Unreal Engine 4 users a selection of realistic assets for use in their projects, as created by the uber-pro's at Epic.
The assets in the demo were created using photos of objects in the real world, with bigger objects made with a process called 'photogrammetry', which Word doesn't seem to think is a real word. Specular, rough and normal maps, LODs and collission meshes are added, so all of the assets are good to use in any Unreal 4 project you might be working on.
It's another step in Epic's plan for total world domination by giving all of its Unreal 4 engine/assets-related items away for free.
You can see more details of Epic's photo-reconstruction in its presentation from GDC, which, handily, I've embedded right here:
Lords of the Fallen studio embraces fear of the DEI boogeyman, says it will not include 'any social or political agendas' in its games
Epic CEO Tim Sweeney says tech leaders are 'pretending to be Republicans' to gain favor with Trump, skirt antitrust laws, and ultimately 'rip off consumers and crush competitors'
