During the State of Unreal event, The Coalition released a video of the technology demo The Cavern for Unreal Engine 5. This technology demo brings the graphics and cinematic quality of UE5 to the players.
Kate Rayner, studio technical director of The Coalition, said of the released technology demo: “First of all, I have to thank the whole team. Because this is our first cinematic experience for UE5 and it’s a work we’re really working on. We had a lot of fun doing it.
We are proud to present this work to you. We think that both the face animations and the overall quality of the character model will please the players.
We used a player who wore a head camera to create the next generation of face animations and capture performance. We partnered with Cubic Motion to transfer these images to the system. We tried to create the most realistic looking and moving game character we’ve ever done. It’s incredibly exciting to think about where we can go next. We are very pleased with the results.”
