MOTD: New Unreal Engine 3 features

 

 

I have to admit, Epic Games knows how to make an engine look phenomenal. While it takes some decent hardware and isn’t the most efficient engine out there, it’s still worth mentioning that the engine has been making strides towards optimization and continues to push the envelope with its gorgeous looks. This new trailer, shown at GDC ‘09, showcases some of the cool new features that Epic is working on. Even though I haven’t had any real experience with the UE3 editor, the content browser shown in the trailer looks pretty handy, and the mod-making community will surely appreciate the database of sprites, textures, and models to use for their own custom creations.
