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:
'These kids do not care about romance': Game devs want to know what today's teens want, and surveys say sex and romance isn't it
Amazon thought it could compete with Steam because it was so much larger than Valve, but Prime Gaming's former VP admits that 'gamers already had the solution to their problems'
