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 Unreal Engine Landscape 的替代方案，可以在打包游戏中在运行时进行编辑。
Shader World 是目前虚幻引擎市场上唯一一款完全 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、资产生成都是在 GPU 上生成的。 这意味着您根本不需要出色的 CPU，因为任何支持计算着色器的入门级 GPU（2013 年以来的任何 GPU）就足够了，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。
它允许通过快速迭代和即时反馈来创建无限的海洋和景观。
从世界创建到实例化网格或参与者的产生，该工具集在其运行的设备上具有极高的能效，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的资源 游戏玩法（AI，..），同时在 GPU 上运行时计算可提供无与伦比的性能和高质量艺术家驱动的输出。
资产生成框架从行业领导者和标准中汲取灵感，很大程度上受到《地平线：零之曙光》等游戏当前使用的框架的启发。
