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.

A behavior tree is to express the behavior of artificial intelligence. The behavior tree has a characteristic that is easy to change state transitions than FSM(Finite State Machine), see the progress of the action. For these reasons, the behavior tree is widely used in more than FSM. This paper is to analyze the advantages and disadvantages on behavior trees of game engines, proposes the improved behavior tree based on analyzed them. To achieve this, in this paper, first, examines the role of node and the behavior tree structure of the unity engine, unreal engine. Second, discusses the advantages and disadvantages based on it. Third, proposes the behavior tree to improve the disadvantages of behavior tree of unity engine and unreal engine, depth of behavior tree and search time required to select the execution node. This paper can help developers using the tree to develop the game.

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 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.

본 논문에서는 사용자의 입장에서 게임 논리와 밸런스를 바탕으로 흥미를 유발할 수 있는 게임 개발의 요구를 고려하여 언리언 엔진 5 기반 하이퍼 FPS 게임의 설계와 구현을 제안한다. FPS 게임 내에도 정통 FPS, 배틀로얄, 그리고 하이퍼 FPS 등 여러 종류가 있는데 그 중 순전히 총으로만 싸우지 않고 캐릭터마다 고유스킬을 사용하여 전투할 수 있는 것이 하이퍼 FPS이다. 제안하는 게임 개발을 위해 다양한 게임엔진 중에서 사용자 친화적인 인터페이스와 비교적 쉬운 작업 흐름을 가지고 있는 언리얼 엔진을 선정하였다. 개발 결과의 테스트를 통해 제안한 게임과 EOS(Epic Online Services) 연동으로 다중 사용자들의 접속과 플레이를 확인하였다.

Recently, the demand and development for non-face-to-face services are rapidly progressing due to the pandemic caused by the COVID-19, and attention is focused on the metaverse at the center. Entering the era of the 4th industrial revolution, Metaverse, which means a world beyond virtual and reality, combines various sensing technologies and 3D reconstruction technologies to provide various information and services to users easily and quickly. In particular, due to the miniaturization and economic increase of convergence sensors such as unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) capable of high-resolution imaging and high-precision LiDAR(Light Detection and Ranging) sensors, research on digital-Twin is actively underway to create and simulate real-life twins. In addition, Game engines in the field of computer graphics are developing into metaverse engines by expanding strong 3D graphics reconstuction and simulation based on dynamic operations. This study constructed a mirror-world type metaverse that reflects real-world coordinate-based reality using Unreal Engine 5, a recently announced metaverse engine, with accurate 3D spatial information data of convergence sensors based on unmanned aerial system(UAS) and LiDAR. and then, spatial information contents and simulations for users were produced based on various public data to verify the accuracy of reconstruction, and through this, it was possible to confirm the construction of a more realistic and highly utilizable metaverse. In addition, when constructing a metaverse that users can intuitively and easily access through the unreal engine, various contents utilization and effectiveness could be confirmed through coordinate-based 3D spatial information with high reproducibility.

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.
