虚幻引擎 4.14 版本包含一个针对 VR 进行优化的全新前向着色渲染器，在游戏中启用清晰的多重采样抗锯齿。全新的接触阴影（Contact Shadows）功能可渲染出复杂物体的美丽阴影细节。此版本中还加入了一个全新静态网格体自动 LOD 生成（automatic LOD generation）功能。此功能不需要第三方库。
我们还简化了动画工具，以便提高生产效率，为Sequencer（UE4 的非线性动画工具）添加了诸多新功能，并对载具、布料和动画进行了改良。
移动开发者的好消息：现在可以在兼容的安卓设备上使用 Vulkan！此外我们还添加了多项全新移动渲染功能，如从场景色彩和深度进行读取，以及在 UI 上绘制 3D 物体。
Windows 平台上的 C++ 程序员现可使用 Visual Studio "15” 进行开发。仍然支持 Visual Studio 2015。
全新的前向着色渲染器结合了高精度 UE4 灯光功能和多重采样抗锯齿（MSAA）支持！前向渲染器拥有 MSAA 和启用每个材质优化的选项，非常适用于 VR。
前向渲染器的工作原理是将灯光和反射捕捉剔除到一个视锥空间网格。前向通道中的每个像素在对其产生影响的灯光和反射捕捉上迭代，对它们带有的材质进行着色。静态光照的动态阴影为提前计算，并被打包到屏幕空间阴影遮罩的通道中，以便高效利用多个阴影投射功能。启用 Rendering Project 设置中的“Forward Shading”并重启编辑器即可使用前向渲染器。
支持的前向渲染功能包括：
前向着色暂不支持以下功能：
前向渲染器支持多重采样抗锯齿（MSAA）和随机采样抗锯齿（TAA）。在多数情况下 TAA 更为可取，因为它能移除几何体锯齿和反射锯齿。在 VR 项目中，头部追踪引起的恒定亚像素运动会造成不必要的模糊。MSAA 方为更佳选择。
选择使用 MSAA 的项目将需要编译内容，以减轻反射锯齿。“Normal to Roughness”功能有助于弱化细节法线贴图上的反射锯齿。静态网格体的自动 LOD 生成可抹平远处模型上的特征，有助于弱化小三角形导致的锯齿。
在我们的测试中，使用 MSAA（替代 TAA）提高了约 25% 的 GPU 帧时。实际开销将依内容而定。
在 Rendering 项目设置中设置默认抗锯齿方法即可使用 MSAA：
控制台变量“r.MSAACount”控制每个像素计算的 MSAA 采样数。“r.MSAACount 1”拥有特殊含义并可返回随机采样抗锯齿，便于在抗锯齿方法之间切换。
性能
进行一些渲染时，前向渲染器的速度比延迟渲染器更快。可在每个材质上禁用的功能可以实现最大的性能提升。默认情况如下：只有最近的反射捕捉应用时不带视差矫正，除非材质使用高精度反射、高度雾按每个顶点计算、平面反射只应用到启用的材质上。
在 Epic 最新的 VR 游戏《Robo Recall》上平衡这些选项。在使用 NVIDIA 970 GTX 显卡的情况下，前向渲染器比延迟渲染器的速度快约 22%。
接触阴影（Contact Shadows）可在物体上实现高细节动态阴影。
下图中的常春藤只是一些扁平的片，但由于材质中输出的 Pixel Depth Offset，其自身形成的阴影十分真实。
接触阴影功能针对深度缓冲在屏幕空间中添加一个短光线投射，了解像素是否从给定光照被遮挡。这能够在几何体的连接点处形成锐化的细节阴影。通过其他算法所形成阴影的接触点可能出现缺失或模糊，存在多种原因。通常这是由于缺乏分辨率或深度偏差。无论原因如何，全新的接触阴影功能能够以较小的开销填补空缺。
接触阴影可用于设置光照上的 Contact Shadow Length 属性。此属性控制屏幕空间中光线投射的长度。如设为 1，则光线投射将穿过屏幕。如设置的值较大，精度和性能将会下降。因此在实现需要的效果时请尽量将长度保持在最短。
接触阴影的另一个使用情况是从任意光照的视差遮蔽映射获得自阴影。这需要在材质中输出像素深度偏移。此动画显示了一个视差遮蔽映射的表面，接触阴影的长度设为 0.1。
虚幻引擎最新版本可以自动减少静态网格体的多边形数量来创建 LOD！
上面的动画显示了自动生成的五个 LOD。每个 LOD 的三角形数量均为上一个的一半。
自动 LOD 生成使用名为二次网格体简化的功能。网格体简化器将把生成的两个顶点合并，以计算与边缘发生重叠的视觉差的量。它将选取视觉影响量最小的边缘，然后与之重叠。执行此操作时，它将选取最佳位置放置新合并的顶点，并移除沿边缘重叠的三角形。它将继续以此方式重叠边缘，直到达到所要求的三角形目标数量。
此网格体简化器将维持 UV，包括生成的光照图 UV、法线、切线和顶点颜色。UV 被维持后，则可使用相同的材质，且所有 LOD 均可共享相同的光照图。
控制所生成 LOD 的高级设置在静态网格体查看器中的 LOD Settings 下。
“LOD Group”包含预设列表。可根据项目在 BaseEngine.ini 文件的 [StaticMeshLODSettings] 下进行修改。我们建议为项目设置好类别并尽量使用 LOD 群组，而不对每个 LOD 的细节进行控制。
需要注意一个重要设置：“Auto Compute LOD Distances”。因为算法了解每个边缘重叠所添加的视觉差量，所以它可以用此信息决定可接受的距离误差量。这意味着它也将自动为每个 LOD 计算所使用的屏幕尺寸。
如需了解每个 LOD 自动生成的细节，可在 Reduction Settings 中进行查看。请注意：此功能当前只可用于静态网格体，尚不支持网格体代理 LOD 生成。
最新版本现支持同一几何体在多个光照设置下的预计算光照！这在 VR 和建筑视觉表现的使用实例中尤为重要，因为这些项目要求尽量高的精度和性能。
在上例中，定向光照、天空光照和天空盒已放置到一个名为 DayScenario 的光照情景关卡中。街灯已被放置到 NightScenario 中。
使用光照情景的方法：
限制：
在延迟渲染器中，全新的前向着色功能现可用于半透明表面，从多个灯光处获得反射高光、从视差矫正反射捕捉获得基于图像的反射。
UE4 现支持下表面轮廓着色模型的全分辨率皮肤着色。这可生成表面细节（如毛孔和皱纹）的高保真度光照。
棋盘格渲染皮肤（左图）、全分辨率皮肤（右图）（注释：头部模型由 Lee Perry-Smith 创建）
表面细节 - 棋盘格（左图）、全分辨率（右图）
之前，皮肤上的光照使用棋盘格图案展示，一半像素包含弥散光照、另一半像素包含反射光照。光照在最终的下表面轮廓全屏通道中重组。此方法可生成下表面光照的良好效果（原始即为低频），但它可能导致表面细节光照的保真度较低。
新方法将把包含弥散和反射光照信息的每个像素打包到 RGBA 编码中。利用它可在最终的下表面轮廓全屏通道中重建全分辨率光照，通过随机采样抗锯齿获得表面细节的更佳效果和更稳定的表现。
兼容性 全分辨率皮肤着色需要至少 64 位的场景色彩格式（带完整透明通道）。默认的 FloatRGBA 场景色彩格式可正常使用，但不支持 FloatRGB 之类的 32 位表示。如场景色彩格式与全分辨率皮肤不兼容，则会退回以棋盘格为基础的光照。使用 r.SSS.Checkerboard 控制台变量可覆盖此行为。可以使用的数值为：
0：禁用棋盘格（全分辨率）
1：启用棋盘格（旧行为）
2：自动（默认）-
如场景色彩像素格式支持，将使用全分辨率 限制 全分辨率皮肤着色是一个近似，但毫无意义。它在多数情况下均工作正常，但因编码方法不同，特定材质特征可能出现问题。以下材质尤为如是：
这些特征将正常工作，但由于打包 RGBA 弥散/反射编码的缘故，输出与棋盘格之间可能存在差异。制作材质时可以解决特定问题：将不需要进行皮肤着色的区域的不透明度设为 0 即可。为进行着色，不透明度为 0 的像素将作为默认光照。
注解： 出于性能原因，以此方式对具有透明度的像素进行遮罩为可取之法——因为下表面后期处理将略过这些像素。
性能注意事项
如游戏拥有 64 位场景色彩格式，全分辨率下表面光照的处理速度通常比棋盘格更快（由于纹理提取数量更少）。而如果游戏拥有 32 位场景色彩，减少纹理带宽所换取的性能益处较大（但这取决于硬件）。
使用反射捕捉时，引擎将混合来自反射捕捉的间接反射和来自光照图的间接弥散。因为反射立方体贴图只在空间中的一个点捕捉，这将有助于减少泄露，但光照图会在所有接收物表面进行计算并包含本地阴影。
（左图带光照图混合，右图则不带）
混合在不平表面效果较好。但在平滑表面上，来自反射捕捉的反射与来自其他方法的反射（如屏幕空间反射或平面反射）不相匹配。
十分平滑的表面上将不再进行光照图混合。 粗糙度为 .3 的表面将获得完整光照图混合，粗糙度 .1 及以下的表面将逐渐淡出至无光照图混合。这允许反射捕捉和 SSR 进行更好的匹配，过渡更不明显。
下图的镜头展示了前后的镜面表面反射。注意 SSR 和反射捕捉之间墙壁反射的区别。在动态效果下穿帮尤其明显，因为它将随摄像机一同运动（由于存在 SSR 限制）。
这会对现有内容产生影响 - 在反射泄露在平滑表面的情况下，泄露将更为明显。 为解决此问题，可放置更多反射探头减少泄露。关卡最小应拥有一个大型球体捕捉。也可通过渲染项目设置恢复旧的光照图渲染行为：
虚幻引擎 4.14 版本自然支持即将推出的 Visual Studio“15”。仍然支持 Visual Studio 2015。可从微软 Visual Studio 网站的“Preview”处获取 Visual Studio“15”。
如您已安装 Visual Studio 的多个版本，可在“Editor Preferences”的“Source Code”部分选择使用的版本。
现在可以右键点击关卡视口中的 actor 并将其当前状态转换为一个新的静态网格体资源。这个方法甚至可用于骨架网格体，因此可以从摆好姿势的角色上获取网格体。
UE4 4.14 新增了对 NVIDIA Ansel 摄影的支持！Ansel 是 NVIDIA 退出的一款新工具，便于玩家在游戏中进行截图。在 Ansel 模式中时，游戏将暂停，玩家可控制摄像机构图，然后进行截图。可抓取多种截图，从 HDR 到 360 立体均可。在 NVIDIA 网站中查阅更多详情。
Ansel 现已作为全新的 UE4 插件公开。在项目中启用插件后，即可在 standalone 游戏会话中访问 Ansel。
（在网页浏览器中查看 Ansel 360 捕捉）
我们也在 Player Camera Manager 类上公开了函数，以便游戏对 Ansel 捕捉行为进行自定义。游戏可能需要限制摄像机运动的距离、禁用 UI 元素、禁用/启用特定的光照或后期处理效果，等等。感谢 Adam Moss 和 NVIDIA 提供实现。如要开始使用此功能，请查阅 Ansel 插件文件夹下的 ‘Ansel_integration_guide.html’ 文档。官方 UE4 Ansel 文档将不日推出。
缆绳组件插件已更新新特性，包括碰撞支持和附着物体或效果的套接字。
缆绳组件现包含以下新特性：
UMG 和 Slate 的字体现在拥有一个可应用的任选外框。
指定字体的控件可以变更外框设置、颜色、或外框所使用的材质。
外框上字体材质的使用方法与其他字体材质的使用方法相同，唯一的区别是对外框指定的材质只能应用到外框。字体材质可在外框上使用，创建出许多不同效果。
现可在 Details 面板中编辑 Map 与 Set 属性！
Sets 和阵列相似，但无法在一个集中两次拥有相同元素，且元素的排序无法保证。然而在一个 set 中进行查找确定其是否包含元素的速度十分之快。
Maps 拥有一个键和一个值，可在 details 面板中对这二者进行编辑。和 Sets 相同，所有的键必须独一无二，元素的排序不保证留存。然而，元素值的查找速度非常快（只要明确它是一个键）。
Noise 材质图表节点包含数个适用于过程着色的函数，生成一个单值（标量）结果。|
| 
| 
| 
| 
| |
| Cellnoise | Vector Noise | Gradient | Curl | Voronoi |
新的 Vector Noise 节点添加数个 3D 或 4D 矢量结果。这些函数存在运行时开销，因此建议它们开发出一个查找后，使用 4.13 版本中加入的 Draw Material to Render Target 蓝图特性将所有或部分计算烘焙到纹理中。这些材质图表节点允许过程查看在引擎中的最终资源上开发，是用外部工具应用到引擎中资源、创建过程生成纹理的另一种方法。这些新函数包括
1.Cellnoise：为 3D 网格中的每个单元返回一个随机色彩（即从数学下截断应用至节点输入）。特定位置的结果固定不变，是为材质增加随机性的好方法。该 Vector Noise 节点的计算开销极低，因此不需要将其烘焙到纹理中提升性能。
2.Perlin 3D Noise：用 3D 矢量输出计算 Perlin Simplex Noise 的一个版本。每个输出组件在范围 -1 到 1 之间。同时计算三个 noise 通道的开销比合并三个标量 noise 函数结果的开销更低。
3.Perlin Gradient：计算标量 Perlin Simplex Noise 的分析 3D 梯度。输出为四个通道，前三个（RGB）为梯度，第四个（A）为标量 noise。这适用于表面上的凹凸贴图和流型贴图。
4.Perlin Curl：计算矢量 Perlin Simplex Noise（又称 Curl Noise）的分析 3D 旋度。输出为一个 3D 签名旋度矢量。这适用于流体或粒子流。
5.Voronoi：将相同 Voronoi noise 作为标量 Noise 材质节点进行计算。标量 Voronoi noise 在 3D 空间中散布种子点并返回到最近点的距离。Vector Noise 版本返回 RGB 中最近种子点的位置，以及 A 中到该点的距离。尤其是配合 Cellnoise 使用后，这能形成每个 Voronoi 单元的一些随机行为。下图是一个简单的石床材质，使用 Vector Noise / Voronoi 的距离组件调制一些表面的凹凸、混合裂缝中的苔藓，以及种子位置和 Vector Noise / Cellnoise，用于变更每块岩石的色彩和凹凸高度。
Perlin Curl 和 Perlin Gradient 可在倍频中被一同添加（只作为常规 Perlin noise 容器）。对于更复杂的表达式而言，有必要计算表达式结果的梯度。为进行协助，可放置表达式计算为一个材质函数，并将其结合助手节点 Prepare3DDeriv、Compute3DDeriv、或 GradFrom3DDeriv/CurlFrom3DDeriv 进行使用。它们使用位于四面体图案中的基础表达式的四个求值来近似这些基于导数的操作。例如，此网络使用梯度从一个凹凸高度函数计算凹凸法线。
虚幻引擎现使用 NVIDIA PhysX 最新的 3.4 版本。这改善了刚体和场景查询的性能和内存使用（尤其是多核性能）。
这个版本的 PhysX 支持运动物体上的连续碰撞检测（Continuous Collision Detection）（CCD），可在高速运动的刚体之间形成精确的碰撞。在下方的 Robo Recall 测试关卡动画中，玩家挥舞武器反弹迎面而来的子弹。
可立即在 UE4 中使用的新特性：
在未来版本中，我们将加入更多 PhysX 最新版本中拥有的新物理特性。
与动画相关的工具被拆分为单独的资源编辑器，无需再在多个模式中使用一个编辑器。
还进行了多项其他改良。每个编辑器的常用功能基本均显示在视口和改良的骨架树中。
资源快捷工具栏
使用改良的资源快捷工具栏可在共享骨架的相关动画资源之间切换。
录制移至传送功能按钮
之前的版本中，录制通过工具栏上的一个按钮进行。最新版本中，录制按钮已移至传送功能按钮中（与 Sequencer 相似）。
预览场景设置
通过“Scene Setup”菜单即可在每个编辑器中编辑场景中的物体和它们的动画。使用该功能可以应用预览动画、设置不同的预览网格体（这是针对骨架或单个动画），并附加额外的网格体。额外的网格体现可指定为单独的纯编辑器资源。这些资源将定义作为主网格体从属进行驱动的一套骨架网格体。
在最新版本中，使用动画编辑器中的全新专属窗口即可便利地对动画曲线进行调整。编辑时即可进行即时预览。
在之前的版本中只能在动画资源上配置曲线，而在最新版本中可在骨架上进行设置。
通过 Child Actor 模板即可自定义添加到蓝图的子 Actor 组件的属性。
添加子 Actor 组件后，拥有 Actor 的蓝图编辑器的 Details 面板中便会出现一个可展开模板。可从此处访问子 Actor 的全部属性，包括公开变量。例如，Blueprint_A
这是一项重大改良。之前的版本中用户被限制在子 Actor 组件的默认属性中，只能通过游戏脚本进行更新。
现可指定动画蓝图到骨架网格体。动画蓝图在组件中被指派后，该骨架网格体将固定运行。无论网格体是在动画工具中查看、只是一个 Sequencer 过场，或只是放置在关卡中，均可对固定应用的动画动态或其他控制器进行设置。
这将使动态、控制器、IK 或其他动画蓝图特性与网格体产生关联，无需在每个动画蓝图中进行复制即可在此网格体上进行使用。
“后期处理”动画蓝图也拥有其原生特性和蓝图更新步骤，因此参数可被读取或计算，以便在动画图表中使用。
在新版本中可使用 VR 运动控制器创建并设计地貌，并绘制地形材质。
可在快捷菜单的“Modes”面板中打开地形编辑工具。然后从 UI 中选择笔刷并开始绘制！长按运动控制器上的“Modifier”按钮即可消除。
新版本中轮胎力的应用点已发生变化。之前的版本中，轮胎力的应用点位于载具的质量中心。新版本中轮胎力的应用点位于轮胎的质量中心，更容易实现车辆的载荷摆振。
此外我们还添加了简单轮式载具移动组件（Simple Wheeled Vehicle Movement Component），无需复杂的引擎和传动模拟即可实现车轮悬挂和轮胎摩擦。利用此组件可轻松在单个轮胎上应用扭矩。在新版本中，继承自 Wheeled Vehicle Movement Component 的全部组件均可在任意组件上使用，无需依赖于 Wheeled Vehicle Actor。
已有内容的 Deprecated Spring Offset Mode 将自动设为 true，以维持之前的行为。变更 Suspension Force Offset 即可对此行为进行进一步调整。
在虚幻引擎 4.14 版本中可发布支持 Vulkan 的游戏。
新版本的移动渲染通道中已支持自定义深度。自定义后期处理材质现在可从场景深度、自定义深度以及场景色彩取样。
需要后期处理，因此必须启用移动 HDR。但在当前版本中，移动 MSAA 启用时该功能无法正常工作。
在最新版本中，渲染场景进行捕捉时，移动设备支持输出 Inverse Opacity 和 Depth 值的 Scene Capture Source 设置。
我们在引擎中加入了计算模型对模型布料蒙皮数据的功能。因此无需使用导出为 .apx 或 .apb 文件的渲染数据，而使用 UE4 已拥有的渲染数据。从 APEX 导出资源选取模拟模型，并在此模型上重新蒙皮渲染数据。这意味着最终数据的效果应和最初导入的数据一样好。
这将带来一些益处。之前法线可能存在显示错误（见下图），并且限制在一个 UV 通道上。全新蒙皮系统将这两个问题一举解决。
持续不断的更新改善了材质属性的可延展性，使材质属性更加易读，且不易出现错误。
Get 和 Set 节点的主要改良是引脚为选择性添加，与默认公开全部属性的 Break 和 Make 节点不同。这使得图表可避开需要手动连接每个属性引脚的老工作流程。选择一个节点将在细节面板中显示当前引脚的列表，可展开或移除此列表。例如，下图中的材质函数抓取一个属性集，然后将基础色彩（Base Color）和粗糙度（Roughness）混合到一个光亮的红色表面。
为使图表更加简洁，这些节点利用许多后端变更，对项目可能需要添加的自定义材质属性形成前向兼容。缺失的属性将被自动检测，用户可以对错误进行处理，在项目之间共享材质更为可行。在节点上非显式排列的属性（包括材质图表创建后添加的属性）将通过主 Material Attributes 引脚传递。新引脚添加 Make 和 Break 节点后，所有图表均需要手动更新。
新的 Blend 节点将实现使用一个遮罩的多个属性集的混合，这是结合材质细节层使用时的常见操作。下图实例平均地混合了红色和绿色材质（定义为函数），一个节点将为结果应用透明层。
Blend 节点默认为所有使用 Alpha 输入的材质属性执行线性插值。利用此节点的复选框可退出顶点/像素层面的混合，更易于控制纯顶点或纯像素遮罩数据的使用。与前文提到的 Get 和 Set 节点相似，Blend 节点将自动处理新属性的添加或移除，使程序员在注册属性时指定自定义混合行为。
在新版本中，材质可访问骨架网格体的参考动作位置，以在每个顶点的输出中使用。这可在动画角色上形成局部效果。该节点可在静态网格体之间共享，也可在返回标准本地位置的网格体之间共享。下面的图表实例在局部空间中创建了一个网格图案，它在动画中和骨架网格体之间保持相对关系。
影片录制时可以对每个镜头进行帧处理。新版本中，在每个镜头的开头和末尾可多渲染主序列的帧。通过剪辑决定列表（EDL）即可将这些额外的帧剪入和剪出。此列表可在外部视频编辑包中使用，调整镜头之间的剪辑。
新版本调整了摄像机升降架的行为，可模拟物理升降架的运动。
在新版本中，录制序列时可通过话筒录制音频。
Pose Driver 节点使骨骼基于一套“范例动作”驱动动画的其他方面。在此版本中，该节点可驱动骨骼变形以及变形目标。例如基于手臂的旋转驱动护肩骨。此外还添加了使用驱动骨平移的选项（而不使用其方向）。已改良调试绘制，显示每个“目标”动作和骨骼当前与其之间的接近程度。
新版本中加入了对骨架添加“虚拟骨骼”的功能。无法对虚拟骨骼进行蒙皮，但其会在骨架上两个现有骨骼之间被约束。骨架上每个动画的虚拟骨骼数据将自动生成。例如，可添加一个关节（手的子项），但其会受到手掌关节的约束。与套接字不同，此关节可作为一个目标（即 IK 目标或查看目标）在动画蓝图中使用，或在 AnimBP 中对其进行修改，以便之后使用。
这有助于改善角色迭代时间。之前的版本中，如果需要变更 IK 或瞄准的目标关节层级，需要在引擎外进行操作，DCC，然后导回所有动画修复带新关节的动画数据。而利用虚拟骨骼可跳过这些步骤，在引擎中执行全部工作。然而这需要对动画数据进行重新压缩，将关节重新纳入动画数据中。如需了解虚拟骨骼的更多实际使用，请查阅“Paragon 中使用的动画技术”。它的出现让重新定位目标或变更控制器参考帧变得更容易，用于 Paragon 中的定位和斜坡变形。
利用全新的变形目标调试视图模式（Morph Target View Mode）可更容易地确定每个变形目标所影响的顶点。
基于父蒙太奇创建子蒙太奇，以便替换动画片段，同时保持整体时间设置。可用于为行动添加变量，同时保证其不会影响到游戏进程。
新版本包含与音乐硬件交互的全新“MIDI Device”插件。
这是一个简单 MIDI 界面，从连接到电脑的设备上接收 MIDI 事件。当前只支持输入。这是它在蓝图中的使用方法：
新版本中的地形镜像工具可将几何体复制到镜面平面，创建斜向对称的多人游戏地图。
新版本中的材质流程已修改，可对静态和骨架网格体中每个材质的使用进行更大程度的控制并获得更多信息，改善导入网格体时材质排序的不一致。
列表中的每个元素为带下列信息的材质槽
在蓝图和 C++ 中，现可使用材质槽名检索材质槽（不使用硬编码索引）。调用 Set Material By Name 在骨架网格体或静态网格体组件上设置动态材质。如网格体上的材质排序发生变化，使用名称查找（不使用索引）可确保游戏代码正常工作。
在每个更新版本中，我们都将更新引擎，以支持平台合作伙伴的 SDK 版本。
全新移动补丁应用蓝图库包含移动游戏从云端网站下载并安装游戏内容和补丁（而非从 App Store 上进行初始下载）的所有必备功能。
这些功能可确定是否有更新游戏内容、开始下载、跟踪进程、处理错误，并在最后安装成功下载的内容包。此外还包含检查存储空间和 WiFi 连接的功能，以便蓝图在这些情况下提醒用户。支持 Android 和 iOS。
新版本中包含全新在线子系统 GameCircle（Online Subsystem GameCircle）插件！
支持 GameCircle 成就、排行榜、好友和 Amazon 内购。启用此插件后，即可在 Plugins 类目下访问全新的 Amazon GameCircle 项目设置面板。针对 Fire TV 的 AndroidManifest.xml 变更可在此处启用。
UE 4.14 包含一个实时 GPU 分析工具，可提供主要渲染类型的逐帧数据。输入控制台命令“stat gpu”即可使用。也可通过 Viewport Options 下拉菜单中的“Stat”子菜单将数据在编辑器中打开。
这些数据为累积式，非层级式。因此不需要从事件树向下寻找即可看到主要类型。例如，阴影投影为所有光照的全部投影（在所有镜头中）的总和。
游戏运行时，通过屏幕上的 GPU 数据即可简单了解到 GPU 负载情况。数据也可用于即时测量变化带来的影响。例如修改控制台变量时，即时修改编辑器中的材质、或修改并重新编译着色器（重新编译着色器已修改）。
游戏运行时，GPU 数据可录入到一个文件中，以便之后进行分析。和现有数据相同，可使用控制台命令“stat startfile”和“stat stopfile”即将数据录入到一个 ue4stats 文件。在 Unreal Frontend 工具中打开文件即可查看数据。
使用 UnrealFrontend 对 GPU 进行分析。总共会显示后期处理和基础通过时间
数据在代码中被声明为浮点计数器，如：
DECLARE_FLOAT_COUNTER_STAT(TEXT("Postprocessing"), Stat_GPU_Postprocessing, STATGROUP_GPU);
渲染线程上的代码块即可通过 SCOPED_GPU_STAT 宏（这些宏引用那些数据名）进行 instrument。这与 SCOPED_DRAW_EVENT 的工作方式相似。例如：
SCOPED_GPU_STAT(RHICmdList, Stat_GPU_Postprocessing);
未显式 instrument 的 GPU 工作将包含在一个包罗 [unaccounted] 数据中。如数据非常高，则说明丢失的工作需要一些额外的 SCOPED_GPU_STAT 事件。与绘制事件不同，GPU 数据为累积式。可以为相同数据添加多个输入，这些输入在帧上进行聚合。
在一些 CPU 受限情况下，GPU 时间设置可能受到 CPU 瓶颈（气泡）影响（此时 GPU 在等待 CPU 同步）。如果绘制线程时间很高，且出现异常情况，则需要考虑这点。在 PlayStation 4 上，我们将命令列表提交之间的时间从时间设置中移除，纠正了这些气泡。在未来的版本中，我们将把此功能延伸到其他主流渲染 API 上。
新版本中推出了一个新选项生成加权（二进制）图谱纹理（替代每个材质平均加权的图谱纹理），从而改善了合并 actor 和组合材质时纹理空间的应用方式。
（左图：平均加权的材质。右图： 二进制法） 新功能首先计算单个材质的重要性（根据其采样的最大尺寸纹理）。之后这些值用于计算材质应占据空间量，并迭代式地将每个纹理添加到图谱纹理。这使图谱纹理对输入材质更具有代表性，因为它在计算它在图谱纹理中占据的最终空间时会把原始纹理数据的大小考虑在内。
由于社区用户呼声较高，新版本已在 Linux 上支持 Android。设置所需 NDK 和 SDK 工具最简单的方法是使用 NVIDIA 提供的 CodeWorks for Android（Linux 平台）。此外需要安装 OpenJDK 1.8；设置 JAVA_HOME 指向安装。请注意：新版本尚未在 Linux 上支持 Android Vulkan。
新版本中，用户可从电脑上拖放文件到媒体播放器的视口中，无需创建 FileMediaSource 资源即可预览视频文件。
现在可以在支持设备上使用移动多视图通道！移动多视图和桌面上的实例化立体，为 CPU 上的立体渲染提供了一个优化通道。
如需使用此功能，在 Project Settings 下的 VR 部分将其启用即可。为使功能正常工作，应将 Android 编译设置设为 OpenGL ES2、禁用 Mobile HDR，并禁用实例化立体。当前版本中，此功能兼容基于 Mali 的主流 GPU。如打包时开启了此功能但 GPU 不兼容，其在运行时将被禁用。
此功能仍在实验性阶段，我们还需要验证它与更多功能和设备之间的兼容性。
如上图所示在 Project Settings 菜单中启用移动多视图，然后重启编辑器使变更生效。
新版本已支持 SteamVR 和 PSVR 分层！它的工作方式和 Oculus Rift 插件完全相同——使用 Stereo Layer 组件。
引擎新版本支持 Oculus、GearVR、SteamVR 和 PSVR 上的加载影片。影片在渲染线程上运行，可掩盖加载内容时的帧率小问题。如需使用启动画面，可设置一个纹理使用“Set Splash Screen”节点，或选择在使用“Enable Auto Loading Splash Screen”节点加载地图时使其自动出现。
新版本支持 PSVR 的原生 90Hz 到 90Hz 投射和 120Hz 到 120Hz 投射！这意味着可选则更高的帧率运行，将延迟和投影穿帮最小化。引擎将把帧率锁定在选择上，但使用者仍需努力保证帧率的稳定！
使用触控屏时，将在 Windows 7、8 和 10 上生成触控事件。拥有此功能后，即可在全新的 Windows 平板上实现触控游戏和体验。此外，无需部署到目标设备即可对移动游戏的触控操作进行测试。
打包版本现可使用全新的事件驱动加载器（Event Driven Loader），效率远高于之前使用的流送代码。使用 EDL 后，游戏的加载时间将缩短约 50%，多数情况下加载速度极快。事件驱动加载器加载资源的代码路径统一。这意味着所有包均使用新的异步路径，不再使用旧的块路径。EDL 当前仍为实验性功能，默认为禁用，但可通过项目设置轻松开启。
新版本中添加了全新 Game Mode Base 和 Game State Base 类，作为现有 Game Mode 和 Game State 类的父项。所有游戏必需的核心功能位于 Base 类中，而旧版本和射击游戏特有的功能位于 Game Mode/Game State 中。新创建的项目将继承自 Base 类，而已创建的项目将默认使用旧版本中的类。此外，一些新函数已对蓝图公开。
这项修改是一个长期的更新工作，使旧的游戏性类更容易被理解，并编入所有类型项目的子类。所有范例均已更新使用 Base 类（Shooter Game 除外），而 Shooter Game 将说明如何在旧的类中使用射击游戏特有的功能。新版本将继续支持 Game Mode/Game State，使用者应将把适合自身游戏的版本编入子类。
新版本中，从服务器到连接客户端复制属性的方式已进行内部重构。
我们已对代码进行修改，以便高效低在诸多连接之间高效地共享属性复制工作。在此修改之前，我们只共享无条件属性（以 DOREPLIFETIME，而非 DOREPLIFETIME_CONDITION 注册的属性）的工作。而现在，我们共享所有类型属性的工作。这意味着属性发生改变（需要被发送）时需要执行检查工作的频率将大幅降低。
内部测试的结果显示降低率已高达 40%。还有更多工作需要完善，但我们同时也希望告知大家开发进度，分享好消息！
New: Added an “Enable AI System” flag to the World Settings that controls whether the AI System will be created for the given map.
Bugfix: Fixed an issue with AI Sense Sight’s time slicing unintentionally skipping queue-aging if the given time limit was reached.
Bugfix: Fixed an issue basing whether the AI should turn or not by comparing the current desired rotation vs the last update‘s desired rotation. The AI should be turning based on whether or not the current desired rotation is different from the rotation of the Pawn.
Improvements for the consistency of loudness usage in AI Sense Hearing.
Minor cosmetic fix to EQS test scoring function’s preview.
Selecting Geometry trace mode will no longer project onto the Nav Mesh first in the Projected Points EQS generators.
New: Expanded the BT Decorator Is At Location function with an option to use AI Data Provider.

Bugfix: Fixed an issue with parameters of vehicle RVO avoidance.
Bugfix: Fixed an issue with Path Following Component for “Has Reached” not using the Goal’s Radius when “Use Nav Agent Goal Location” is set to false. When “Use Nav Agent Goal Location” is set to true, we want to avoid using the Goal’s location on the navmesh, but instead the acceptability of a radius should be based on the Goal’s radius.
Path Following Component distinguishes between partial and full paths in terms of acceptance radius used. This will make partial paths behave as expected with non-trivial big acceptance radii.
Layer limit for navmesh generation has been increased.
Update Move Focus will only clear the focus if the path following component is idle. This keeps the AI rotated in the correct direction when movements get paused.
New: Added “Strip Animation Data On Dedicated Server” option to Animation Settings. This will remove all compressed data from cooked server data. Disabled by Default.

Bugfix: Fixed an issue with displaying one more frame for an animation.
For example, for 30 frames, it was displaying 0-30, which is incorrect and should be 0-29.
To avoid confusion, now it doesn’t display key count. It will display the last frame number, so it will look different, but the data is still the same.
Bugfix: Fixed an issue with a number of cases where sub-instance animation instance functions weren’t being correctly passed through the main instance.
Bugfix: Fixed an issue with “auto” check box in the Morph Target panel.
Bugfix: Fixed an issue with functionality of “show uncompressed animation” option in Persona viewports.

Normalization has been removed for weights that are less than one so the poses do not instantly snap.
Bugfix: Fixed an issue where Pose Asset was evaluating the curve in the wrong frame.
Bugfix: Fixed an issue where the Pose Asset editor list was not updating when changing the source animation.
Bugfix: Fixed an issue with “Remove Linear Key” for Additive Animations since DDC has been added.
Bugfix: Fixed an issue with “Root Motion from everything” calculating incorrect root motion when animations haven’t been ticking.
Bugfix: Fixed an issue with sample rate not applied for non-default sample rate when importing an animation.

Prevented invalid GUIDs from being saved into SmartName containers.
Removed save warning about empty animations from assets that contain curve data.
Animation Curve Cached UID list has now been moved to Bone Container from Anim Instance in preparation of supporting curve linking to bone feature, so that you could cull out for a certain LOD.
Changed “Create Physics Asset” in the context menu for Skeletal Meshes to enable creation of a Physics Asset without having to assign it to the Skeletal Mesh. This makes it easier to make new assets for Capsule Shadows.
Changed inline curve name editing to only change the name of that specific curve, instead of renaming the SmartName itself.
Bugfix: Fixed a crash using anim debug with sub-instances that are preceded by branching nodes.
Bugfix: Fixed a crash when forcing ref pose during Anim Blueprint initialization when using sub anim instances.
Bugfix: Fixed a crash when using sub-instances in non-entry states.

New: Added ability for arrays of structs to specify a property to be the key.
So, with LODGroups, the Name key inside the struct can be the unique key, so when you have multiple .ini files in the hierarchy overriding the same LODGroup by name, it will replace the first with the second, instead of adding two entries with the same name. Set by @ArrayName=KeyPropertyName. Per Object Config sections need a little different handling, which uses * (see Base
