新機能

アンリアル・エンジン 4.10 へようこそ！今回のリリースには、素晴らしい機能が沢山ありますが、特にエンジンの安定性を高めることと未解決の問題に対処することに重点を置きました。報告された数百のバグが修正され、多くの品質改善が新たに加えられ、サポートされているほぼすべてのプラットフォームにアップデートが適用されました。アンリアル エンジンは、驚異的な VR 体験を実現するように設計されており、リリースを重ねる毎にどんどん進化しています。エピック ゲームズの "Bullet Train" VR デモ は、このバージョンの新機能、特にヘッドマウント ディスプレイ向けに設計されたレンダリングの最適化の新機能でパワーアップしました。モバイル分野でも新しいスケーラビリティ機能と反射のサポートが加わり素晴らしいアップグレードがあります。最後になりましたが、プログラマー向けに以下の朗報があります。Windows での開発用に Visual Studio 2015 が使えるようになりました。Mac 向けには、Xcode プロジェクトを改善し、一段と効率的に作業できるようにしました。最新の SDK をサポートしターゲット プラットフォームも更新しました。

主要機能

New:モバイル向け屈折エフェクト

屈折エフェクトがモバイル プラットフォームで完全にサポートされるようになりました。屈折機能を持つ既存のシェーダーは今回のリリースから自動的にモバイル デバイスでも機能するようになりました。余分な手順は不要です！

• iPhone 5S 以降、および Nexus 5、Galaxy Note 4、Galaxy S6 などの Android デバイスで有効になりました。
• 他のデバイスでも対応する Device Profile で r.RefractionQuality レンダリング変数を設定することで有効にすることができます。

New:VR レンダリングの最適化

今回のリリースで VR ゲームは一段と速くなります。これは、ヘッドマウント ディスプレイ向けの新しいレンダリングの最適化機能によるものです。VR レンダリングの GPU オーバーヘッドを削減するために新しい "Hidden and Visible Mesh optimization (不可視/可視のメッシュの最適化)" 機能を実装しました。 Bullet Train VR デモ, 制作 エピック ゲームズ こうした 2 つの最適化により、レンズの歪みによって実際のデバイス上では表示されないピクセルに GPU 時間を使わないようにします。隠れたエリアのメッシュはプリパスとして機能します。この場合、ビューから隠れたエリアを表すメッシュを選び、その後ろ側にあるものをすべて処理しないようにします。次にポスト プロセスの段階で、可視ピクセルを表すこのメッシュの逆側を使用し、これらに対してのみポスト プロセス処理を実行します。上記の 2 つの技術を使うことで「負荷をかけることなく」パフォーマンスを向上させることができます。“Bullet Train” の場合、PC 上でトータルで約 0.25 ms の節約になり、トータルのフレーム時間はわずか 11 ms です。コンソール プラットフォームでは、パフォーマンスの大幅改善が期待されます！

New:Visual Studio 2015 のサポート

アンリアル エンジンは Windows プラットフォームで Visual Studio 2015 にアップデートされました !  Visual Studio 2015 には、uniform イニシャライザーやデリゲートするコンストラクターなどの C++ 言語機能 があります。新しいコンパイラーは厳格に標準に準拠し、コード内でより多くのエラーを検出します。無料の Visual Studio 2015 Community Editionを Visual Studio web site からダウンロードできます。アンリアル エンジンは Visual Studio 2015 Community, Professional, Enterprise と Express for Desktop (一部制約有) をサポートしています。重要:アンリアル エンジンのランチャーによるインストールには C++ サポートが有効になった Visual Studio 2015 が必要になりました。是非、チームでアップグレードしてください！ アンリアル エンジン内で New Project (新規プロジェクト) ウィザードを使用している場合は、Visual Studio 2015 のダウンロードとインストールを支援します。重要:Visual Studio 2015 のインストーラーは、手動でインストールする場合にはデフォルトで C++ をインストールしません。表示が出たら必ず "Custom" を選択してください。次に Programming Languages セクションを展開して Visual C++ をチェックを入れます。初めてプロジェクトをコンパイルする場合は、新しい C++ コンパイラはより厳格になっているため、報告される新しいコンパイラ エラーを注意してご覧ください。コードに影響を及ぼしうる変更の例について、Microsoft 社が ドキュメント を投稿しています。Visual Studio 2013 を引き続き使用する必要があれば、GitHub のソース コードからご自身でエンジンをコンパイルする必要があります。ランチャーによる配布で Visual Studio 2013 をサポートしない主な理由は、両方のバージョンのコンパイラに対して、追加でプリコンパイルされたバイナリ、デバッグ シンボル、静的ライブラリがあるとエンジン サイズが著しく増えて Windows 上でのプロジェクトのセットアップがいっそう複雑になってしまうからです。次のリリースで Visual Studio 2013 のサポートからは完全に撤退します。

New:モバイルのマテリアルのクオリティ

新しい Material Quality システムでは、最新のデバイス上でのクオリティを犠牲にせずに、ローエンド デバイスまで簡単にスケールダウンすることができます。すべてのマテリアルに対して Low、 Medium、High の各クオリティのバージョンのシェーダーを生成することができるようになりました。ローエンド デバイス上でパフォーマンスを高めるために、各階層でレンダリング機能を選択して無効にすることができます。UE4 では多くの一般的なデバイスに対して適切なデフォルト クオリティ レベルを自動的に検出します。 Galaxy S6 Edge (High クオリティ マテリアル)

• High クオリティのマテリアルが以下を自動的に選択しました。
• スペキュラ(鏡面反射色) 反射、ラフネス、メタル、法線マップ、指向性ライティング

Galaxy S III (マテリアルのクオリティをスケールダウン)

• 最適なパフォーマンスを得るためにマテリアルのクオリティが自動的にスケーリングされました。以下が無効になりました。
• スペキュラ(鏡面反射色) 反射、ラフネス、メタル、法線マップ、および指向性ライティングのバリエーション

New:UE4 プラットフォームのアップデートと SDK

UE4 がリリースされるたびに、最新のプラットフォームの SDK のサポートのアップデートと、サポートされているプラットフォームに対する改善が加えられます。 今回のリリースで注目すべきプラットフォームは以下のとおりです。

• Oculus Rift が 0.8 SDK Beta をサポートするようにアップデートされました。
• OculusMobileSDK が 0.6.2 をサポートするようにアップデートされました。
• Xbox One が August XDK にアップデートされ、Visual Studio 2015 を使用してコンパイルするようになりました。
• Playstation 4 は SDK 3.00 にアップデートされました (Playstation VR サポート有)。
• iOS サポートは SDK 9.0 にアップデートされました。
• Mac OS X は SDK 10.11 (El Capitan) にアップデートされました。
• Xcode サポートは Version 7 にアップデートされました。
• Android は Marshmallow (6.0) をサポートするようになりました。
• Linux/SteamOS の修正、および下位レベルの機能での小さな改善は進行中です。

New:ランドスケープのミラー ツール

この新しいミラー ツールを使用すると、簡単にシンメトリーのランドスケープを作ることができます。これは競争する 2 チームのランドスケープ レベルで非常に役立ちます。

• 高さマップ、マテリアル レイヤー、ランドスケープの草をミラリングします。
• X 軸または Y 軸のいずれかの方向にミラリングします。

New:低レイテンシーの VR モーション コントローラー

Motion Controller コンポーネントをアップデートし、レンダリング開始直前に late-update を行います。以下の図で、late-update を適用したコンポーネントと適用しなかったコンポーネントの位置と回転の違いがわかります。このスクリーンショットは、通常の速さで、左右交互の腕の動きで撮られたものです。

これはヘッドマウント ディスプレイでレイテンシーを減らすために使用する技術と同じです。Motion Controller コンポーネントの位置を 1 フレームあたり 2 回アップデートします。1 回は入力ティック中で、もう一回はレンダリング直前です。つまり、このようにコントロールすることで、応答性が高く、また現実世界でプレイヤーが行っていることがより良く反映されていると感じられます。この機能はデフォルトで有効になっています。

New:ブループリント ノードの自動整列

ブループリント グラフを高速に自動整列するためのレイアウト ルーチンセット一式を追加しました。 選択したノード上で右クリックして、"Alignment" を選ぶだけでノードが自動的に整列します。以下はこの機能で行うことができる内容です。

• 境界に基づき選択したノードを整列させる (上/中央/下、左/中央/右)
• 水平軸/垂直軸に沿って選択したノードを並べる
• 選択したノード間の接続を真っ直ぐにする
• 特定のピンに接続されている特定のリンクを真っ直ぐにする

New:Android 上のウェブ ブラウザの UI

Android は Widget ブループリントまたはスレートのコードを使用して C++ で作成されたウェブ ブラウザ ウィジェットをサポートするようになりました。この機能を使用して、ウェブ上でホストされるコンテンツを表示することができます。例えば、ユーザー向けのニュース メッセージやヘルプ テキストなどがあります。

• Android では、実行ファイルのサイズが増えないようにプラットフォームのネイティブなウェブ コントロールが使用されます。
• ウェブ ブラウザのウィジェットは、今後のリリースで iOS でサポートされます。

New:Android のゲームパッド機能

Android 用に複数のゲームパッドがサポートされるようになり、一部の一般的なコントローラーのタイプやマッピングが特定されます。以下の Android コントローラーは自動的に検出されます。それ以外は一般的なマッピングにフォールバックします。

Amazon Fire Game Controller および Amazon Fire TV remote

NVIDIA SHIELD Controller および SHIELD Portable

Samsung Game Pad EI-GP20

Android コントローラー向けその他の新機能

• マッピングは、コントローラー デバイスの名前に基づき自動的に検出されるようになりました。
• 複数コントローラーが同時にサポートされます。
• 右ジョイスティックで Z/RZ と RX/RY のマッピングを処理するようになりました。
• 左トリガー / ブレーキと右トリガー / ガスの軸が適切に機能します。
• X/Y Hat は、十字パッド ボタン イベントにマッピングされます。

以下は、同時に複数のコントローラーをサポートする場合の簡単な説明です。割り当てられていないゲームパッド上のボタンを押すと、そのデバイス ID をひとつめの割り当てられていないコントローラー ID に関連付けます。ゲームパッドからコントローラー ID への割り当ては、以下の 3 つの新しいブループリント ノードを使用してクエリーまたはクリアすることができます。

New:Xcode プロジェクトの改善

ゲーム向けに Xcode プロジェクトを生成する方法を大幅に改善しました。Xcode の Live Issue 機能と Fix-It 機能を利用できるようになり、 Indexing がはるかに速くなります。さらに、ビルド コンフィギュレーション間での切替えがはるかに容易になります。単一のプロジェクトに複数のターゲットを入れる代わりに、複数のプロジェクトから構成されるワークスペースが 1 つのターゲットに対してひとつずつあります。Xcode でUE4.xcodeproj の代わりに、UE4.xcworkspace を開くようになりました。ワークスペースの各プロジェクトで、様々な UE4 ターゲットをビルドするために使用する単一スキームを作成します。何がビルド中および実行中なのかは、アクティブなコンフィギュレーションとプラットフォームによって決まります。Xcode での UE4 ターゲット選択

XCode での UE4 ビルド コンフィギュレーション どのファイルを実行するかを考える必要がなくなりました。ビルド コンフィギュレーションを切り替えると、XCode が自動的に正しいアプリケーションを選びます。 *アクティブなコンフィギュレーションを変えても、スキーム エディタの Executable ドロップダウンは更新されません。これは、Xcode の既知の問題です。*しかし、Xcode から実行すると正しいアプリケーションを使用します。

StrategyGame.app が表示されていても、StrategyGameEditor.app が起動します！プロジェクトの Indexing は一段と速く正確になるはずです。さらに、Live issue が表示され、Xcode の Fix-it システムが機能するようになりました。

New:モバイルのプロビジョニング プロファイル セレクタ

ユーザーは、iOS プロジェクト設定でモバイルのプロビジョニングと証明書を明示的に選択できるようになりました。以前は、「ベストマッチ」のプロビジョニングと証明書が使われていました (以下のように緑でハイライト)。現在は、隣にチェックボックスがあり、ベストマッチの代わりに特定のプロビジョニングや証明書を使用することができます。何もアイテムを選択しないと、緑色のものが使用されます。

• New:Support for PNG and JPG splash screen images added on Linux, Mac, Windows.(Contributed by labidus, Pull Request #1444, and x414e54, Pull Request #1399.)
• Bugfix:Android build and iOS build and orientation setting overrides now save to .ini properly.
• Bugfix:Pinch events now trigger correctly every time.
• The correct texture LOD bias is now used when cooking.
• Added Touch Event Locations to pair with touch events since we want the actual location for that event.After a release, the finger ID may be reused for another touch far from the location of the release so the wrong location would be sent for all the events.
• Fixed editor primitives (e.g. debug wireframes) rendering flipped upside down on OpenGL ES2.

Android

• New:Support for an optional launch screen for Android projects.
  • A "Show launch image" checkbox in the Android Platform section of the Project Settings enables this feature.Examples for portrait and landscape may be found in Engine/Build/Android/Java/res/drawable as PNG files.
  • Click on the "..." link next to the image in the Launch Images section of the Android Platform section to bring up a browser to copy your own image into the project.
  • If the launch image is enabled, either or both launch images selected for the project will be included depending on the orientation setting in the project.
• New:Added new targetSdkVersion setting for AndroidManifest.xml to allow overriding default minSdkVersion value.
• Bugfix:Fixed backslashes in path for Android plugin XML on Mac.
• New:Device Profile detection mechanism has been changed so that new Android devices can be detected and assigned a Device Profile using user-specified rules.
  • Instead of being hardcoded in C++, the matching rules are now specified in BaseDeviceProfiles.ini in the [/Script/AndroidDeviceProfileSelector.AndroidDeviceProfileMatchingRules] section.
• New:First implementation of Slate Web Browser for Android.
• New:It is now possible to package for a selected set of Android texture formats rather than just all or one.
  • Check the checkboxes for the formats you wish to cook for in the Platforms, Android project settings tab.
  • Select the Android_Multi cook variant when packaging.
• New:Multiple AdMob Ids may now be entered and Show Ad Banner now takes an index.New Get Ad ID Count BP node returns the array size.
• New: proguard-project.txt is now generated with additions from an optional ProguardAdditions.txt file in the project's Build/Android directory.
• New:We have reduced the number of Android OpenGL ES shaders that we cook, so your app should be slightly smaller.
  • We no longer cook separate 32-bit and 64-bit per pixel HDR shaders because the setting is chosen on the device at launch time.
• Bugfix:Galaxy S4 device variants with PowerVR GPUs (eg GT-I9500) no longer show a black scene when Mobile HDR is enabled.
