In the development of existing games, it is judged that virtual world production was done by arranging game elements one by one. What is noteworthy here is the question of whether quality virtual worlds were efficiently produced in preparation for investment. In this study, we propose a methodology that can build an efficient virtual world based on the concept of modularization in an unreal engine. First, precedents were analyzed and five reference elements for modularization were extracted. In addition, the concept of an instance production pipeline was proposed by dividing it into four stages, and the minimum-unit instance modules for urban virtual world production were compressed into four. Finally, an urban virtual world constructed based on the minimum unit module and reference elements was implemented and presented. In conclusion, research on the production method centered on this efficiency is thought to be able to focus the time that designers or artists had to spend on production only on ideas and creativity. The limitations of the research are that the basic minimum module is limited to the city, and the derived reference elements and production pipelines have not been verified when implementing them with an unreal engine. Therefore, it is expected that various virtual world creation plans will be derived through more advanced modular research.

1992년 id Software가 최초의 3차원 게임인 Wolfenstein 3D(그림 1)를 선보인 이래, 3차원 게임은 게임 시장에서 주류의 자리를 차지하게 되었다. 저사양의 하드웨어에서 구동되는 모바일 게임을 제외하고는 현재 대부분의 게임이 3차원으로 제작된다고 보아도 무방할 것이다. 이 같은 시장 수요에 부응하여 다수의 3차원 렌더링 엔진이 개발되었는데, 대표적인 것으로는 id Software의 Doom Ⅲ, Criterion의 Renderware, Epic Games의 Unreal Ⅱ 및 Ⅲ, Intrinsic의 Alchemy, NDL의 GameBryo 등이 있다.

Texture Mapping is a technique for adding realism to an image in 3D graphics Chip. Bilinear filtering mode of this technique needs accesses of 4 texels to process one pixel. In this paper we analyzed the access pattern of texture, and proposed the high performance texture cache which can access 4 texels simultaneously. We evaluated using simulation results of 3D game(Quake 3, Unreal Tournament 2004). Simulation results show that proposed texture cache has high performance on the case where physical size is less then or equal 8KBytes.

본 논문에서는 제작한 가상현실 게임의 소개와 적용기술에 대해여 논한다. HTC VIVE를 이용하여 강력한 주요 게임 개발엔진 중 하나인 Unreal engine4를 이용하여 쉽게 접근 할 수 있는 VR 리듬게임 구현을 목적으로 한다. 플랫폼의 한계의 벗어나 HUD로 좀 더 현실감과 몰입을 요구하는 게임개발을 목표로 리듬감 증진 혹은 운동효과도 기대할 수 있다. 사운드 플러그를 이용하여 주파수별 스펙트럼을 시각화하여 재생되는 음원중 스펙트럼 값이 조건을 만족하면, 노트가 자동으로 생성되고 일정 시간이 경과한 후 사라지거나, 플레이어가 타격하여 점수를 획득 하는 방식으로 진행되며, 플레이어가 노트를 맞을 경우 체력값이 단계별로 낮아져 게임이 종료된다. 더 많은 곡과 맵을 추가하여 흥미소요를 늘릴 수 있으며, 단순타격이 아닌 조건이나 임무를 부여 다양성과 복잡함을 추가해 낮은 접근성과 높은 정복성을 가질 수 있다.

With the development of digital content software production technology and the technological progress of related hardware, the social status quo in the post-epidemic era, the popularization and application of 5G networks, the market and consumers' increasing demand for digital content products, artificial intelligence, virtual digital human, virtual Idols, virtual live, self-media content and metaverse-related content industries are all developing rapidly. Virtual idols, virtual digital human, etc. are not only accelerating innovation in production technology. The economic cost, technical difficulty and time requirements of production are also greatly reduced. With the arrival and development of the Metaverse, the author believes that the content industry with virtual digital humans as the core will continue to develop in the direction of refinement, specialization, facilitation and customization. In this article, we will analyze and study the production of virtual digital human based on Photoscan technology and Unreal Engine 5 Metahuman software, and discuss the application status and future development of related content.

Game engines have the advantage of enabling efficient content production, such as reducing development time, with minimal visual quality guarantees and support for multi-platforms. Recently, game engines have provided various functions that can easily, quickly, and effectively produce immersive content using virtual reality (VR) HMD. Therefore, this study conducts a comparative study on the development environment in VR content production using Oculus Quest 2 HMD, focusing on Unity and Unreal game engines, which are widely used in the content production industry, including games. First, we compare the basic setup process of building a development environment using Oculus Quest 2 HMD and a dedicated controller based on a VR template project that includes the minimum functions and settings provided by each engine. Next, we present a simple experience environment that can interact in a virtual environment and compare the development environment to use a dedicated controller and the process of building a development environment that directly utilizes hands through the hand tracking function provided by Oculus Quest 2. Through this process, we will understand the basic process of building a VR development environment, and at the same time, we will check the characteristics and differences of the engine and use it as a research that can be applied to various immersive content production.

본 논문에서는 Inverse Kinematics(IK) 방법을 이용하여 사족보행 게임 캐릭터의 이동 IK를 구현하였다. 게임 캐릭터의 이동 IK는 Unity의 NavMeshAgent를 사용하여 이동하는 사족보행 생물체가 회전 시 척추를 자연스럽게 꺾이도록 구현되었다. 본 논문에서는 게임캐릭터에 이동 IK를 적용했을 때와 적용하지 않았을 때를 비교하였으며, 이동 IK를 적용한 경우에 경로를 따라 이동하는 사족보행 캐릭터의 애니메이션이 자연스럽게 이루어짐을 확인하였다.

이 연구에서는 노드 & 컴포넌트 기반 개발(Node & Component Based Development, NCBD)을 지원하는 게임엔진을 직접 설계, 제작하는 내용이다. NCBD를 지원하는 게임엔진은 이미 상용화된 유명게임엔진들(Unity, Unreal, Cocos2d-x)이 공통으로 지원하는 프로그래밍 패러다임이며, 이러한 노드 & 캠포넌트 구조는 깊은 상속구조를 지향하는 구조보다 유연하고 직관적이다.
