🎮 Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) 🎮 UEFN is a PC-based tool that allows creators to design, develop, and publish games and experiences directly into Fortnite. With access to Unreal Engine 5’s powerful tools and workflows, along with the Verse programming language, UEFN offers endless possibilities for crafting immersive experiences for millions of players worldwide. What Can You Do with UEFN? ✅ Create custom assets with modeling and material tools ✅ Import meshes, textures, animations, and audio ✅ Develop VFX effects using Niagara ✅ Animate with Control Rig and Sequencer ✅ Design gameplay using Verse ✅ Experiment with multiple camera types ✅ Create lifelike NPCs using MetaHuman ✅ Build environments with Landscapes ✅ Expand worlds using World Partition ✅ Discover & import assets through Fab (Alpha) ✅ Collaborate in real-time with Live Edit and Unreal Revision Control ✅ Build islands using LEGO® Templates, props, items & more ✅ Create race tracks for Rocket Racing islands SoWhen? is back to challenge YNOV Campus students! In just 5 days, they'll create a game featuring 10 minutes of gameplay. An intense challenge that will test their creativity and skills! How Does UEFN Compare to Fortnite Creative? Unlike Fortnite Creative, where you build directly inside Fortnite, UEFN is a PC-exclusive editor that brings advanced 3D creation tools similar to those used to develop Fortnite itself. It offers a more powerful and flexible workflow while integrating Fortnite Creative’s game mechanics. How is UEFN Different from Unreal Engine 5? UEFN is specifically designed for Fortnite experiences, allowing creators to publish directly to Fortnite’s massive player base. It merges Unreal Engine’s capabilities with Fortnite Creative’s tools, giving developers an accessible and familiar interface to bring their ideas to life. UEFN will continue evolving throughout the Beta, introducing more Unreal Editor features, expanding creator control, and enhancing the Verse API to push the boundaries of Fortnite experiences.

"Water always teaches everyone resilience." Water connects us all, a source of life and renewal. Across rivers, oceans, and raindrops, it shapes our world. Through its endless cycle, it nourishes and sustains us. Every drop holds a story of resilience and connection. Remember, protecting it means preserving our future. #WorldWater #AvoidWaterWaste #TakeActionForWater #EpicenterStudio #Resilience

🌐 Node Local Position in Unreal Engine 5 🌐 Discover how to use the Node Local Position in UE5 to deform objects directly in the material, without animation rigs or complex setups! Modify objects visually – No need for mesh editing or rigging. Local-based effects – Deformations adapt to the object’s shape and orientation. Pattern & distortion creation – Apply waves, twists, and more with precision. Optimized for real-time – Perfect for games and interactive experiences. #EpicenterStudio #UnrealEngine #GameDev #3DArt #Materials #UE5 #Tutorial #RealTime #CreativeTech

🌊 Creating Water Effect in Real-Time 🌊 In our latest experiment, we developed a technique to add immersive water effects to your scenes. We highlight two approaches: 🔹 Surface Simulation – A thin layer of water covers a material (like the wood shown in the video), creating realistic reflections and ripples. 🔹 Underwater Effect – A post-process effect that alters visual perception to recreate an immersive aquatic atmosphere. These techniques open up possibilities for games and interactive experiences. #EpicenterStudio #GameDev #VFX #RealtimeRendering #WaterEffect

🎮 World Aligned Texture in Unreal Engine 🛠️ The World Aligned Texture in Unreal Engine applies a texture based on the object’s position in the world rather than its UV coordinates. It uses a technique called tri-planar mapping, which projects the texture from three directions (X, Y, and Z) to prevent distortions. ✨ Saves time – No need to manually adjust UVs. 🌍 Seamless texturing – Perfect for terrains, rocks, and complex shapes. 🔄 Flexibility – Scales and adapts without quality loss. #EpicenterStudio #UnrealEngine #WorldAlignedTexture #GameArt #ProceduralTexturing #TechArt

🎭 100% Procedural ControlRig in Unreal Engine 5 🎭 Introcing Eldy, created for learning purposes, Nicolas MICHEL has developed a fully procedural ControlRig in Unreal Engine 5, enabling automatic reuse—just like an AutoRig—on other characters, as long as they share a similar bone nomenclature. ⚙️ Some adjustments may be needed, but the base is fully functional in Forward Solve and Backward Solve. 🚀 Key Features ✔ AR Kit Compatibility – The character Eldy is ready for performance capture. ✔ Advanced Facial Rig Control – All MorphTargets can be precisely adjusted for enhanced detail. ✔ Shoulder Roll System – Integrated into the IK setup to limit and lock rotations on a single axis, ensuring more natural and realistic movements. ✔ Intuitive Picker – A dedicated tool allowing animators to quickly select controllers without searching in the sequencer or 3D scene. The Picker includes two tabs: 🎭 Body – For full-body animation. 🎭 Head – For precise facial control. This ControlRig is designed for animation fluidity, a real game-changer for 3D production ! designed by Lilou Agnel #EpicenterStudio #UnrealEngine #ControlRig #AutoRig #Animation3D #GameDev #TechArt #ProceduralRigging #UE5
