Shader World is an alternative to Unreal Engine Landscape, which can be edited at runtime, in packaged games.
Shader World is currently the only fully GPU accelerated tool for procedural world generation available on the Unreal Engine marketplace, and was built by qualified engineers.
World, collisions, asset spawning are all generated on GPU. It means that you don't need a great CPU at all as any entry level GPU supporting Compute Shaders (any GPU since 2013) is enough, which includes most entry level Smartphones (any OpenGL ES 3.1 mobile device).
Shader World plugin is a high performance modern procedural Landscape generator.
It allows the creation of infinite oceans and landscapes with fast iteration and instant feedback.
From world creation to the spawning of instanced mesh or actors, the toolset is extremely power efficient on the device it is running on, reaching similar performance on CPU only would require managing an intensive multithreaded CPU workload , taking away resources that could otherwise be used for Gameplay (AI,.. ), while computing at runtime on GPU delivers unmatched performance, and high quality artist driven output.
Drawing inspiration from industry leaders and standards, the asset spawning framework is heavily inspired from the one currently used by games such as Horizon Zero Dawn.

Shader World是虚幻引擎景观的替代品，可以在运行时编辑，在打包游戏中。
Shader World是目前虚幻引擎市场上唯一一个完全GPU加速的程序世界生成工具，由合格的工程师构建。
世界，碰撞，资源刷出都是在GPU上生成的。这意味着你根本不需要一个伟大的CPU，因为任何支持Compute Shaders的入门级GPU(自2013年以来的任何GPU)都足够了，其中包括大多数入门级智能手机(任何OpenGL ES 3.1移动设备)。
Shader World插件是一个高性能的现代程序景观生成器。
它允许创造无限的海洋和景观，快速迭代和即时反馈。
从世界创建到实例网格或角色的生成，该工具集在其运行的设备上非常高效，仅在CPU上达到类似的性能就需要管理密集的多线程CPU工作负载，从而占用原本可用于游戏玩法(AI等)的资源。，而在GPU上运行时计算提供无与伦比的性能，以及高质量的艺术家驱动输出。
从行业领导者和标准中汲取灵感，资产刷出框架在很大程度上受到了《地平线:零之黎明》等游戏当前使用的框架的启发。
