Epic Games, Inc. has released the May 2012 Unreal Development Kit Beta, the latest version of the free edition of Unreal Engine 3 that provides access to the award-winning 3D game engine and professional toolset used in blockbuster video game development, architectural visualization, mobile game development, 3D rendering, digital films and more.

RealD Integration

 

RealD, a leading global licensor of 3D technologies, incorporates its best-of-breed stereoscopic 3D gaming solutions into the Unreal Engine. The RealD Gaming Toolkit will allow for PC and console games to be rendered in stereo 3D and brings developers features such as depth budget allocation (DBA) and AutoCAM. Read the full story and download theSOL: Exodus demo showcasing the 3D implementation.

UDK Showcase Antichamber

 

Antichamber is a psychological exploration game that took one look at reality, shook its head, and then decided to rewrite everything. Set within a world whose rules resemble those of an M.C. Escher painting, this game will mess with your head and make you question everything you think you know about how games are supposed to work. Sound mind-bending? It is.
