Epic Games has released a major new version of Unreal Engine, which has become a mainstay in virtual production, that includes new features and improvements to performance, visual fidelity, and productivity that the company said will benefit broadcasters, game developers and other creators in the media and entertainment industries.
Notable new features for the new Unreal Engine 5.4 include features for broadcast (Unreal Engine Motion Design Mode, previously known as Avalanche) that are already being used in sports production, and new capabilities for virtual production (including Unreal's virtual camera app, Unreal VCam, on Android for the first time).
