This update makes us excited about video game graphics again.
has integrated some of the next-gen capabilities made possible by Unreal Engine 5.1, and the results look stunning.
Nanite, Unreal Engine 5's virtualised geometry system, has improved the architectural geometry of the island. Buildings are now"rendered from millions of polygons in real time, and each brick, stone, wood plank, and wall trim is modelled,” the developer says. Natural landscapes are also more detailed. Trees have around 300,000 polygons, and each stone, flower, and blade of grass is modelled.
Meanwhile, the illumination and reflections system Lumen adds ray-traced reflections and real-time global illumination at 60 frames-per-second. Characters react to changing lighting, while virtual shadow maps improve shadow quality, with shadows both for modelled details and characters – including for things like hats and other small details. Finally, new Temporal Super Resolution promises “high-quality visuals at a high framerate” as an upgrade to Temporal Anti-Aliasing.
Fans have been applauding the update on Twitter."Fortnite is the first game I've seen do a cartoony art style with realistic graphics and actually look good," "Man, I can't imagine that Fortnite of all games got me excited about video game graphics again, someone else tweeted.
