This book shows how to use Unreal Engine for creating interactive visualizations, animations, and renderings. UE4 expert Tom Shannon introduces Unreal Engine 4’s components and technical concepts, taking you through the entire process of building outstanding visualization content with realistic, carefully documented, step-by-step sample projects. 

The book addresses issues ranging from data import and processing to lighting, advanced materials, and rendering. It also covers important ways in which UE4 works differently from traditional rendering systems, even when it uses similar terminology.
