Planet Center at Component Transform places the atmosphere centered to the component's transform origin. The Sky Atmosphere component can be parented to objects in the scene, such as a planet mesh. Light transmittance through the atmosphere is optimized for ground-level views; a single transmittance is evaluated for the top of the planet, but for a planetary view, the transmittance should be evaluated per pixel for the atmosphere terminator to look correct.
This also enables the atmosphere to cast shadows on nearby moons, or other celestial objects. Per pixel transmittance also enables shadowing of objects in outer space, such as nearby moons and other celestial objects, according to properties set on the Sky Atmosphere component. Enable per pixel transmittance on your Directional Light by ticking the checkbox for Per Pixel Atmosphere Transmittance.
The Sky Atmosphere system is optimized for scenes that are on ground level. However, there is nothing preventing you from traveling from the ground to a high aerial view, or even outer space. While the transition through the atmosphere should be seamless—without a noticeable transition—from the look-up tables LUTs to per pixel tracing, you may sometimes experience a hitch or when this happens.
This optimization can be disabled by setting the following console command values to 0 :. Once disabled, it is worth noting that you may encounter the following issues. These are some suggestions to help you work around them for your project to find a balance that best fits your project.
A high frequency pattern can become visible when it should be absorbed by temporal anti-aliasing TAA. However, when moving the camera very fast, there is a camera cut that happens—restarting TAA—so it is visible in space views. Due to the way samples count is based on distance, samples become visibly large as circles in the atmosphere. Visibility of the samples is a side-effect of the density of medium in the atmosphere being higher, and very concentrated, close to the ground, which is a typical ray marching issue.
You can solve this in a couple of ways:. Trade performance for quality increase by increasing the number of samples with r. SampleCountMax or r. Set up logic to adjust and tweak atmospheric properties when in outer space to have less particles near the ground, making them more uniform and height distributed. Shadowing from a Directional Light source is used to create sunlight shafts within the atmosphere for ground-level and space views.
Enable Cast Shadow on Atmosphere to cast shadows from opaque objects. Also, enable Cast Cloud Shadows to enable shadow casting from cloud materials when using the Volumetric Cloud system. Set a high value for the Dynamic Shadow Distance. For instance, the examples below used a shadow distance of units or kilometers. For outer space views, enable Per Pixel Atmosphere Transmittance to apply accurate planetary shadowing that also casts shadows on nearby celestial objects, such as a moon.
The tracing quality of the atmosphere is scalable using the Sky Atmosphere component's Trace Sample Count Scale property. This property is important when generating LUTS, or when using per pixel tracing. The maximum number of samples is clamped but can be increased by using the console command r.
Also, keep in mind that the number of samples only reach the specified kilometers set by r. Improving the overall quality of sunlight shafts within the atmosphere is handled by increasing the r. Width and r. Height values. Quality can further be improved for fog on opaque and translucent surfaces by increasing the width of r. It uses a 3D volume texture. Increasing its size can significantly increase memory usage.
Achieving cinematic quality of atmosphere rendering is done by disabling the Sky View and Aerial Perspective LUTs optimizations, which use a lower resolution to be performant. They can be disabled by setting r. FastSkyLUT and r. FastApplyOnOpaque to 0. Atmosphere will become slower to render but produces fewer visual artefacts with high-frequency detail that appear in some areas, such as a planet's shadow or its scattering lobe. You'll also want to increase the tracing quality on the Sky Atmosphere component see above.
The Sky Atmosphere visualization and debugging view enables you to see—in real time—the changes you make to the atmosphere settings. The Hemisphere View shows a visual representation of your atmosphere, taking into account Rayleigh and Mie scattering along with Absorption.
Below is the documentation video for changing Landscape Material and using Heatmaps:. This video is for users who want to learn how to use heat maps in new landscape materials to have the same texture details as the default one. The marketplace use rights allow you to export assets not created by Epic Games itself to other DCC game engines and software, although obviously, some features require UE4 to work.
The pack has a very basic landscape material but for anyone who wants to use advanced landscape materials, it also included the original heatmaps so that you can have all the details of the original terrain with your own materials or any material pack that can be found in the Marketplace.
EN IT. Contour lines on mesh surface tutorial. Volumetric Lighting in Redshift. Epic Games has made Elite Landscapes: Bundle Pack , a set of environment assets for real-time projects, available free via the Unreal Engine marketplace. The asset pack, which comprises 23 Unreal Engine landscapes and 7 sky panoramas, was created by games artist Ismail Kemal Ciftcioglu, aka Velarion , co-founder of RealityArts Studio.
A range of detailed Unreal Engine landscapes, plus matte-painted degree skies The Elite Landscapes: Bundle Pack comprises six individual asset packs, recreating environments ranging from deserts and mountains to alien planets. It comprises 23 Unreal Engine landscapes with automatic LODs and collision enabled, with 4, x 4,px textures and the original 8, x 8,px landscape heatmaps. The pack also includes seven matte-painted degree panoramic skies, suitable for use in other projects.
