May's Featured Free Unreal Marketplace Content

Epic Games has selected this month's featured free Unreal Marketplace content. Enjoy awesome portals, environments, assets, VFX, and a photo mode.

Creating Portal To Another Reality

This content helps you make portals to fascinating worlds. The creator notes that the asset is best used to create worlds that differ in minor details. Your character and the objects around do not teleport, they only change some of their properties, such as visibility, collision, and material.

You can create an unlimited number of portals that connect the same worlds or make portals that create their own worlds.

Low Poly Viking World

This cute asset pack will help you set up your own magical world. It allows you to create a Viking Town, Village, Market, Library, Tavern, House Interiors, and much more. Assets include more than 1000 detailed models, including houses, vegetation, props, and weapons.

SICKA MANSION

This is a Victorian mansion environment created by Sicka Games Studios and now reimagined by lighting artist Youssef Lassaad Mejri with nearly 200 props, a character system, and a drag-and-drop inspect object system. It includes:

• around 200 Assets
• hand-made lightmap UV for all assets
• high-detail props
• atmospheric fog volume material
• hybrid lighting of stationary and static (baked)
• dust and fire Niagara particle system
• high-pixel density for textures with a hybrid of trim-sheet and overlapped texturing
• Modular mansion walls/floor/carving
• material variation for some of the objects
• shared textures between multiple assets for best optimization
• one master material for all props
• drag-and-drop object Inspect blueprint
• mesh outline system
• character system with head-bob camera shake, flashlight, and interact
• post-process sharpen and outline material

Advanced Photo Mode

The mode allows you to capture your game's best moments. You can pause the game and manipulate the camera angle, depth of field, filters, and other settings. The creator notes that it is useful for developers as it can increase player engagement and satisfaction and serve as a powerful marketing tool.

Blink and Dash VFX

This asset contains the Blueprint macro example of "blinking/dashing" with camera FOV changing. 

Features:

• 10 unique blink and dash (mesh-based) effects (6 dash and 4 blink effects).
• Dash effects use meshes for the trails/curves, not the Niagara Ribbon
• Made by using Niagara
