Ray Traced Distance Field Shadows in Unreal Engine

Ray Traced Distance Field Shadows in Unreal Engine

Epic 2019-08-12 09:58 tutorial  > Unreal Engine  > modeling

Unlock the potential of ray-traced distance field shadows in Unreal Engine with Evermotion's tutorial. Learn how to utilize this cutting-edge rendering technique to achieve realistic and dynamic shadows, enhancing the visual fidelity of your Unreal Engine projects.

Ray Traced Distance Field Shadows enable you to generate high-quality soft shadow effects using 3D/volume textures, which store the nearest surface to a mesh. They can be used to great effect when dynamic lighting is required, and are generally 25% to 50% faster than standard depth-map-based dynamic shadows. In this Unreal Tips & Tricks video, we'll look at how to enable distance fields in a project, briefly discuss some ways to optimize them and go over the process of using them in a scene.
