Epic is adding major new features for UEFN (the Unreal Editor for Fortnite), including realistic MetaHuman NPCs and a first-person camera perspective.
At GDC last year, Epic launched a robust new creative tool called the Unreal Editor for Fortnite . And this year, the company announced some major new features that are on the way for it. To start, the company’s MetaHumans — hyperrealistic human characters that can be animated using only an iPhone — will be available in UEFN beginning today.
Epic says that UEFN will be getting more camera options later this year, including a much-requested first-person perspective. Additionally, UEFN will be getting “physics sandbox gameplay,” which includes “the option to use physically-simulated characters in UEFN and Creative and simulate any static mesh.” All of this news is part of Epic’s plan to turn Fortnite into more of a platform for games rather than a single title, with user-made titles making up a large part of that.
