Unreal Engine4虚幻游戏引擎是一款商业性的3D游戏开发引擎，是Epic数百位工程师、艺术家以及设计师的心血之作。

不过这还只是开始，在C++代码中，你可以看到很多创新之处，比如支持Oculus VR、Linux系统、Valve公司的Steamworks和 Steam Box效果，并且可以使用HTML5在网页浏览器中开发游戏。

虚幻引擎4基于DirectX 11，拥有新的材料流水线、蓝图视觉化脚本、直观蓝图调试、内容浏览器、人物动画、Matinee影院级工具集、全新地形和植被、后期处理效果、热重载(Hot Reload)、模拟与沉浸式视角、即时游戏预览、AI人工智能、音频、中间件集成等一系列全新特性。

Unreal Engine虚幻游戏引擎参与制作游戏有：《逃生》、《DMC鬼泣》、《死侍》、《失落的星球3》、《生化奇兵：无限》、《羞辱》、《战争机器：审判》、《杀手已死》、《勿忘我》、《Papa & Yo》、《忍者神龟：脱颖而出》等等。

In Introduction to VFX for Games in Unreal, senior VFX artist Jeremy Griffith walks through his thought processes and workflows for every stage of VFX creation for games, from sketch to final animation in the Unreal 4 VFX toolset. Jeremy first lays down some fundamentals with a static water spout project, diving into the details of how to think about natural phenomena (like water and mist) and how to tackle VFX animation through a shader-heavy workflow. Then, Jeremy applies these techniques and assets to a non-static water spell project, covering high-level considerations such as animation principles. Along the way, viewers will gain experience with Photoshop, Maya, the Unreal material editor, and Unreal Cascade. By the end of this tutorial, viewers will have a strong grasp on every step involved in VFX animation for games. Most importantly, viewers will be able to approach the craft with a mindset that is sensitive both to the inner workings of natural phenomena and to the power of animation principles.
