The City Sample is a graphically intensive project that requires a powerful video card and system to run at a stable framerate. You can download the City Sample from the Samples tab of the Epic Games Launcher or from the Unreal Engine Marketplace. The MetaSounds system fills the city with urban sounds. Mass AI manages the behavior and visualization of traffic and crowds based on the MetaHuman library.Ĭhaos physics drives the vehicle and the destruction systems.

The Virtual Shadow Maps system provides consistent, high resolution shadowing for the city. Lumen generates dynamic global illumination and reflections using Hardware Ray Tracing. Nanite enables the use of high-fidelity virtualized micropolygon geometry. World Partition works in conjunction with One File Per Actor to improve level streaming and editor workflow efficiency. The following features are used in this sample project: The city is designed and built using procedural generation using the Rules Processor. The new and improved features of Unreal Engine 5 enable you to build large, highly-detailed worlds that are brought to life with Mass AI and fully dynamic lighting.

This sample is built using the same assets and design techniques used in The Matrix Awakens: An Unreal Engine 5 Experience technical demo released on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S|X hardware.

The City Sample project is a playground where designers and developers alike can explore how various new and improved systems are brought together to create expansive and engaging environments.
