At GDC 2015, Epic Games unveiled a new real-time demonstration built to showcase Unreal Engine 4’s open-world features and advanced rendering muscle. 

Directed and produced by Epic’s Gavin Moran and Kim Libreri, respectively, A Boy and His Kite show a boy’s journey through picturesque mountains, rivers and forests – a lush terrain spanning 250 square kilometers, beautifully generated with UE4.

While the movie efficiently highlights the engine’s support for diverse topography and photoreal environments, it truly shines through an emotional storyline in which the theme ‘If you love something, set it free’ takes on a dual meaning.

During SIGGRAPH, Epic’s Nick Penwarden presented Kite during the event’s Real-Time Live! showcase. At the end of his demonstration, on behalf of Epic, Penwarden accepted the award recognising Kite for Best Real-Time Graphics and Interactivity.

Kite also appeared in the SIGGRAPH Electronic Theater and the Electronic Theatre Daily Selects. Only two of the 133 films at the show were screened in both programmes.

The kite cinematic created in Unreal Engine 4 features a diverse and beautifully realized 100 square mile landscape. Everything you see was generated in real-time by Unreal Engine 4 at 30fps and includes fully dynamic lighting, cinematic post effects and procedurally placed trees and foliage.
