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Landscape的替代工具，可以在运行时对打包游戏进行编辑。
Shader World是目前虚幻引擎市场上唯一一款完全由GPU加速的程序化世界生成工具，由资深工程师开发。
世界、碰撞、资产生成都是在 GPU 上生成的。这意味着您根本不需要强大的CPU，因为任何支持计算着色器的入门级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）。
着色器世界插件是一款高性能的现代程序化景观生成器。
它能以快速迭代和即时反馈的方式创建无限的海洋和景观。
仅在 CPU 上达到类似性能需要管理密集的多线程 CPU 工作负载，占用了本可用于游戏（人工智能等）的资源，而在 GPU 上运行时计算可提供无与伦比的性能和高质量的艺术家驱动输出。
资产生成框架从行业领导者和标准中汲取灵感，其灵感主要来源于《地平线：零之黎明》等游戏目前使用的框架。
