1.2.2. Unreal Engine 5 (+ MetaHuman)

Unreal Engine 5 is a powerful real-time 3D creation tool that enables developers to create immersive and interactive experiences, such as the Meta Galactica metaverse. One of the key features of Unreal Engine 5 is the introduction of Nanite, a virtualized geometry system that allows for highly detailed and realistic assets to be rendered in real-time, making it perfect for creating the vast and expansive virtual worlds of Meta Galactica. Additionally, Unreal Engine 5 also includes new lighting and sound technologies, as well as improved physics and animation systems, all of which contribute to creating more lifelike and engaging virtual worlds for Meta Galactica.

MetaHuman technology, developed by Epic Games, is a toolkit that allows developers to create highly realistic and expressive human characters for use in their projects. The technology utilises a combination of motion capture, machine learning, and real-time rendering to create characters that have lifelike movements, facial expressions, and natural-looking skin and hair, making it a perfect technology for creating avatars for the Meta Galactica metaverse.
