조형익(Hyung-Ik CHO),신승중(Seung Jung SHIN) 한국컴퓨터게임학회 2021 한국컴퓨터게임학회논문지 Vol.34 No.3

현재 기술이 발전하게 됨에 따라 멀티미디어 콘텐츠 제작에는 많은 비용과 인적자원이 필요하고, 수많은 멀티미디어 제작 도구 소프트웨어가 필요하게 되었다. 이런 각각의 멀티미디어 제작 소프트웨어들은 배울 내용이 너무 많은데다가 고품질의 최종결과물을 만들기 위해서 많은 시간이 소요되는 문제점이 있다. 그렇기 때문에 대학생들이 실무 업계에서 통용될 수 있는 멀티미디어 콘텐츠 제작을 위해서 4년이라는 대학교육 시간내에서 이것들을 전부 학습하기엔 무리가 있고 여러 가지 제약이 수반될 수밖에 없다. 이러한 문제점들이 대두된 가운데 게임을 제작하기 위한 게임 엔진이 새로운 대안으로 제시되고 있다. 여러 가지 소프트웨어로 만들어야 했던 멀티미디어 콘텐츠를 게임 엔진으로 하나로 통합하여 만들 수 있게 되었고, 실시간 렌더링을 할 수 있는 게임 엔진의 특성상 최종 결과물을 만드는 데 기존의 방식보다 비약적인 시간 단축이 가능하기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 대학에서 효율적인 교육을 위하여 상용게임 엔진 중 가장 많이 쓰는 Unity 엔진과 Unreal 엔진을 중심으로 각 게임 엔진의 특성과 장·단점을 비교 분석함으로써 위 두 엔진 중 대학교에서 어떤 것을 선택하여 교육하는 것이 효율적인지에 대한 분석 결과를 제시하고자 한다. With the development of current technology, multimedia content production requires a lot of cost and human resources, and a lot of multimedia production softwares are required. There are problems that each of these multimedia production softwares have too much to learn and takes a lot of time to produce high-quality final results. Therefore, it is difficult for college students to learn all of these within four years of college education to produce multimedia content that can be used in the working-level industry and there are many restrictions. Amid these problems, a game engine to produce games is being proposed as a new alternative. Multimedia content, which had to be made with various software, can be integrated into one game engine, and due to the nature of the game engine that can render in real time, it is possible to reduce the time to produce final results by leaps and bounds. In this paper, we want to compare the characteristics and strengths and weaknesses of each game engine with Unity and Unreal engine which are used most often among commercial game engines, and suggest an analysis of which of the above two engines is efficient in choosing and training at the university.

조옥희 (사)한국컴퓨터게임학회 2023 한국컴퓨터게임학회논문지 Vol.36 No.2

This study analyzes and proposes various types of interactive level design implementation methods using Stable Diffusion, a representative system of artificial intelligence visualization in a virtual environment based on Unreal Engine. Stable Diffusion is a representative artificial intelligence visualization system along with Midjourney and is applied to various programs and tools. It is an artificial intelligence visualization system that naturally applies text to image and image to image based on prompt input, as well as body motion changes with simple additional work. . Unreal engine is a representative game engine that has been updated up to 5.2, and 5.1 was used in this study. Unreal Engine is widely used not only for games but also for animation, film CG, architecture, and digital twins. Although it is a game engine, it is a program that is increasingly being used as a content authoring tool other than games. This paper analyzes and proposes a process that can implement an effective interactive level by combining this Stable Diffusion with the Unreal engine. It can be said that artificial intelligence is already being applied to various 2D and 3D contents, leading to actual publishing. This study analyzed the methodology of implementing visual results by effectively integrating the current Unreal Engine and artificial intelligence, and confirmed the foundation for effective construction.

이한성,류승택,서상현 (사)한국컴퓨터그래픽스학회 2019 컴퓨터그래픽스학회논문지 Vol.25 No.4

In the game industry, traditional game development way was to develop a game engine in advance before developing game content. This has the disadvantage is the high cost of developing the game engine. Further, there is a problem that the game content are not developed unless the game engine is prepared in advance. In order to solve these problems, the game industry has recently selected a method of purchasing a license for a commercial engine, which is a method for improving the game content development productivity, rather than concentrating on game engine development. In this paper, we describe a game object and the structure in Unity and Unreal Engine 4. We compared the editor interface and the supported development languages in the two game engines. We also implemented a First-Person Shooter game to compare how the player's configuration and event handling differ from the two game engines. 게임 산업에서 전통적인 게임 개발은 자체 엔진을 사전에 개발하여 게임 콘텐츠를 완성하는 방식이었다. 이로 인해 게임을 개발할 때마다 자체 게임엔진을 개발하는 비용부담이 크다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 또한, 게임 콘텐츠와 게임엔진이 독립적인 형태로 개발이 되어야 하지만 게임엔진이 사전에 마련되지 않으면 게임 콘텐츠가 개발되지 않는 문제점을 갖는다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 최근 게임 산업에서는 게임엔진 구현에 집중하기보다는 게임 콘텐츠 생산성을 높이는 방법인 상용 엔진의 라이선스를 구매하여 개발하는 방식을 선택하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 컴포넌트 기반 시스템(Component-Based System)이고 시장 점유율이 가장 높은 게임엔진인 유니티와 언리얼 엔진을 대상으로 두 엔진의 구조, 에디터 인터페이스, 그리고 지원하는 개발 언어를 비교하여 각 게임엔진이 가진 특징들을 분석한다. 특히, FPS(First-Person Shooter) 게임의 구현을 통해 두 엔진에서의 플레이어 구성과 이벤트 처리 방식의 차이를 비교 설명하였다.

최근 스트리밍 플랫폼과 메타버스 기술의 발전으로 가상의 아바타로 활동하는 virtual 인플루언서가 탄생하였고 그 팬층 또한 두터워지고 있다. 그러나 이들은 신상정보를 공개하지 않고 활동하는 경우가 많아 현실 세계에서 팬들을 직접 대면할 수 없다는 한계가 있다. 이에 따라, 본 연구는 가상 인플루언서들이 가상공간에서 팬미팅을 진행할 수 있도록 하고자 한다. 이를 위해 그래픽 엔진 중 하나인 Unreal Engine을 활용하여 가상공간을 구현하고 관리자 웹페이지를 구성하여 다수의 인원을 원할히 통제할 수 있도록 하는 팬미팅 플랫폼을 제안한다. 플랫폼 구현 후 테스트를 통해 메타버스 팬미팅에 대한 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. Recently, the development of streaming platform and metaverse technology has created a virtual influencer that acts as a virtual avatar, and its popularity is also increasing. However, they often do not disclose their personal information, so they can not meet fans in the real world. Accordingly, this study aims to enable virtual influencers to conduct fan meetings in virtual space. To this purpose, we propose a fan meeting platform that implements virtual space using Unreal Engine, one of the graphic engines, and design and implement a manager web page so that a large number of people can be controlled smoothly. After implementing the platform, the applicability of metaverse for fan meeting could be confirmed through testing.

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. 게임엔진은 실감형 콘텐츠를 제작하는 데 있어서 최소한의 시각적 품질 보증과 함께 멀티 플랫폼 등의 지원으로 개발시간 단축 등 효율적인 콘텐츠제작이 가능하다는 이점이 있다. 최근 게임엔진은 가상현실 HMD(Head Mounted Display)를 활용하는 실감형 콘텐츠를 쉽고 빠르며 효과적으로 제작할 수 있는 다양한 기능들을 제공하고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구는 게임을 비롯하여 콘텐츠제작 산업 분야에서 많이 활용되는 유니티와 언리얼 게임엔진을 중심으로 오큘러스 퀘스트 2 HMD를 활용한 가상현실 콘텐츠제작에서의 개발환경에 관한 비교연구를수행한다. 먼저 각 엔진이 제공하는 최소한의 기능과 설정이 포함된 가상현실 템플릿 프로젝트를 기반으로 오큘러스 퀘스트 2 HMD와 전용 컨트롤러를 활용하여 개발환경을 구축하는 기본 설정 과정을 비교한다. 다음으로 가상환경에서 상호작용할 수 있는 간단한 체험환경을 제시하고 전용 컨트롤러를 활용하기 위한 개발환경과오큘러스 퀘스트 2에서 제공하는 손 추적기능을 통해 실제 손을 직접 활용하는 개발환경 구축과정을 엔진별로비교한다. 이러한 과정을 통해 가상현실 개발환경을 구축하는 기본적인 처리 과정을 이해함과 동시에 엔진이가지는 특징과 차이를 확인하여 다양한 실감형 콘텐츠제작에 응용할 수 있는 연구로 활용하고자 한다.

언리얼엔진에서의 가상세계 창작을 위한 효율적 모듈화 연구

오민준 대한산업경영학회 2022 산업융합연구 Vol.20 No.11

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.
