Epic Games has released March's featured free Unreal Marketplace content, which includes several beautiful environments and assets as well as shaders and a vaulting system.

Here is what you can download for free this month:

Art of Shader - Film And Special Effects

It is a powerful asset pack offering advanced, film-inspired post-processing effects. Each effect is customizable, so you can tweak the settings to achieve the perfect look for your game or project.

Features:

• 50 Parameterized Post Process Blendable Materials.
• Each Effect can be used as Post Process Blendable Material, Niagara FX, and Mesh Materials
• Niagara facilitates Object Space Localization, where you can apply the effects on only a part of your environment, like certain actors, or a given region in your scene.
• AOS Blueprint Actor for easily combining and grouping multiple Blendable Materials based on common properties.
• Localization allows you to apply the shaders only to certain objects, or exclude certain objects from given effects, via custom depth stencils.
• ScreenSpace Localization lets you split the screen based on user-defined shape and size, and apply multiple Blendable Materials simultaneously at different parts of the screen.
• Separate out the MainObjects placed in the environment from the Background via SceneDepth. Apply different shader combinations simultaneously to your main environment and background scene.
• AOSRuntime Blueprints and Widgets, including Dynamic UMG Based Color Wheel allows you to tweak and modify the post-process materials at runtime.

VaultIt! Multiplayer Vaulting System

VaultIt is a multiplayer vaulting system with motion warping and full-body IK that is fully replicated with the client-side prediction for lag-free gameplay. It has many features and parameters to help you customize the behavior easily.

Features:

• Based on Gameplay Abilities System (GAS), but you don't need to know it at all to use or integrate VaultIt
•  Multiplayer ready with prediction
• Doesn't desync even at extreme latency (800ms+) unless it should (packet loss, hacking, unpredictable collision, etc)
• Handles desync corrections properly (even in extreme environments, inputs result in vaulting properly)
• Proper net serialization (compression) and bandwidth consumption optimization
• Anti-Cheat
• Designed to work with mixed or minimal mode ASC instead of full and handles simulated replication manually for optimization
• Procedural vault height (not hard-coded to animation vault height)
• Driven by root motion animations
• Motion Warping (works in UE4 & Improved)
• Full-Body IK for correct hand placement (works in UE4)
• does not require any IK bones
• Supports non-UE4 skeletons with different bone orientations
• Fully modular setup supports Characters, AI, and maybe Pawns (read Wiki)
• Includes First Person example (basic setup with FP/TP switching)
• Auto-Vault for players and AI with per-movement mode bitflags
• Multiple pre-defined vault heights and animations with support for any type of movement state
• Multiple animations for each state with net sync randomization
• Built with extension and integration in mind
