LITERATURE SURVEY

4
2.0 Unreal Engine

Unreal Engine 5 was revealed on May 13, 2020, supporting all existing systems including the
next-generation consoles PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Work on the engine started
about two years prior to its announcement. It was released in early access on May 26, 2021,
and formally launched for developers on April 5, 2022.

One of its major features is Nanite, an engine that allows for high-detailed photographic
source material to be imported into games. The Nanite virtualized geometry technology
allows Epic to take advantage of its past acquisition of Quixel, the world's largest
photogrammetry library as of 2019. The goal of Unreal Engine 5 was to make it as easy as
possible for developers to create detailed game worlds without having to spend excessive
time on creating new detailed assets. Nanite can import nearly any other pre-existing three-
dimension representation of objects and environments, including ZBrush and CAD models,
enabling the use of film-quality assets. Nanite automatically handles the levels of detail
(LODs) of these imported objects appropriate to the target platform and draw distance, a task
that an artist would have had to perform otherwise.

Lumen is another component described as a "fully dynamic global illumination solution that
immediately reacts to scene and light changes". Lumen eliminates the need for artists and
developers to craft a lightmap for a given scene, but instead calculates light reflections and
shadows on the fly, thus allowing for real-time behavior of light sources.

Virtual Shadow Maps is another component added in Unreal Engine 5 described as "a new
shadow mapping method used to deliver consistent, high-resolution shadowing that works
with film-quality assets and large, dynamically lit open worlds". Virtual Shadow Maps differs
from the common shadow map implementation in its extremely high resolution, more
detailed shadows, and the lack of shadows popping in and out which can be found in the
more common shadow maps technique due to shadow cascades.

Additional components include Niagara for fluid and particle dynamics and Chaos for a
physics engine. With potentially tens of billions of polygons present on a single screen at 4K
resolution, Epic also developed the Unreal Engine 5 to take advantage of the upcoming high-
speed storage solutions with the next-generation console hardware that will use a mix of
RAM and custom solid-state drives.

Epic had worked closely with Sony in optimizing Unreal Engine 5 for the PlayStation 5, with
Epic collaborating with Sony on the console's storage architecture. To demonstrate the ease
of creating a detailed world with minimal effort, the May 2020 reveal of the engine
showcased a demo called "Lumen in the Land of Nanite" running on a PlayStation 5 that was
built mostly by pulling assets from the Quixel library and using the Nanite, Lumen, and other
Unreal Engine 5 components to create a photorealistic cave setting that could be explored.
Epic affirmed that Unreal Engine 5 would be fully supported on the Xbox Series X as well,
but had been focused on the PlayStation 5 during the announcement as a result of their work
with Sony in the years prior.

Epic plans to use Fortnite as a testbed for Unreal Engine 5 to showcase what the engine can
do to the industry, with the game brought to use Unreal Engine 5 in December 2021.
Fortnite's Battle Royale mode received visual improvements via Unreal Engine 5.1 with the
launch of Chapter 4 on December 4, 2022. The Matrix Awakens, a tie-in experience ahead of

5
the release

5
of The Matrix Resurrections, was developed by Epic to be a further demonstration of Unreal
Engine 5 along with other technology that they had acquired over 2020 and 2021, including
their MetaHuman Creator developed and integrated into Unreal Engine 5 with technology
from 3Lateral, Cubic Motion, and Quixel.

Additional features planned for Unreal Engine 5 come from Epic's acquisitions and
partnerships. The MetaHuman Creator is a project based on technology from three companies
acquired by Epic—3Lateral, Cubic Motion, and Quixel—to allow developers to quickly
create realistic human characters that can then be exported for use within Unreal. Through
partnership with Cesium, Epic plans to offer a free plugin to provide 3D geospatial data for
Unreal users, allowing them to recreate any part of the mapped surface of Earth. Epic will
include RealityCapture, a product it acquired with its acquisition of Capturing Reality that
can generate 3D models of any object from a collection of photographs taken of it from
multiple angles, and the various middleware tools offered by Epic Game Tools.

Unreal Engine 5 retains the current royalty model, with developers returning 5% of gross
revenues to Epic Games, although this fee is waived for sales made through the Epic Games
Store. Further, Epic announced alongside Unreal Engine 5 that they will not take any fee
from games using any version of Unreal Engine for the first US$1 million in gross revenue,
retroactive to January 1, 2020. Epic said in October 2023 that it would be changing the
licensing approach for uses of Unreal in non-gaming applications such as in film and
television production to a per-seat license.

2.1 Blender

Blender is the free and open-source 3D creation suite. It supports the entirety of the 3D
pipeline—modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing and motion
tracking, even video editing and game creation. Advanced users employ Blender’s API for
Python scripting to customize the application and write specialized tools; often these are
included in Blender’s future releases. Blender is well suited to individuals and small studios
who benefit from its unified pipeline and responsive development process. Examples from
many Blender-based projects are available in the showcase.

Blender is cross-platform and runs equally well on Linux, Windows, and Macintosh
computers. Its interface uses OpenGL to provide a consistent experience. To confirm specific
compatibility, the list of supported platforms indicates those regularly tested by the
development team.As a community-driven project under the GNU General Public License
(GPL), the public is empowered to make small and large changes to the code base, which
leads to new features, responsive bug fixes, and better usability. Blender has no price tag, but
you can invest, participate, and help to advance a powerful collaborative tool: Blender is your
own 3D software.

I. INTRODUCTION

Games have become an integral part of everyday life for many people. A traditional game often presents a situation
where players engage in an artificial conflict, defined by rules and results in a quantifiable outcome. Such artificial
conflicts are often represented as a puzzle or a challenge, and having the puzzle solved or the challenge resolved
provides a real-world purpose to the game players. This type of games is sometimes referred to as serious games.
However, this kind of traditional or serious games has been increasingly replaced by electronic games, especially for
the so-called game generation. This generation typically consists of digital natives, who in contrast to the digital
immigrants of the older generation, grew up playing a lot of games and who are trained in skills such as dealing with
large amounts of information quickly even at the early ages, using alternative ways to get information, and finding
solutions to their own problems through new communication paths.

II. LITERATURE REVIEW

Over the years, the evolution of virtual racing simulations has closely followed advancements in various aspects of the
gaming experience. Early versions primarily focused on basic features like racing tracks and vehicle models, akin to
emergency call systems and campus lighting improvements. While crucial, these had limitations in terms of realism,
user experience, and overall engagement.

The emergence of cutting-edge simulators, such as Real Speed Thrive, signifies a notable progression. These
simulations leverage the latest in graphics technology and real-time data, providing an immediate and realistic racing
experience. Additionally, the focus has shifted towards proactive, data-driven approaches, where in-game performance
data is analysed to identify patterns and enhance driving skills. The emphasis on realistic physics and dynamic weather
reflects a growing recognition of the importance of addressing not only the immediate racing challenges but also the
nuanced aspects of immersive gameplay.

Furthermore, the integration of multiplayer functionality and community engagement has gained prominence,
reinforcing the idea that racing is a collective and socially engaging experience, transcending the mere provision of
racing tracks. As technology continues to advance, the evolution of realistic third-person racing simulators is expected
to further refine and expand their impact on the virtual motorsport experience for all players, irrespective of gender.

4. Limited Platform Availability:

Depending on the developer's strategy, the simulator may have restrictions in terms of platform availability. If it is
exclusive to specific gaming consoles or PC systems, users on alternative platforms may be excluded from
experiencing the game. This limitation can be a drawback for gamers who prefer or are limited to gaming on different
platforms, impacting the potential player base and community diversity.
