Originally created for game development, Unreal Engine has rapidly expanded into industries such as TV, film, and advertising, where real-time, high-fidelity content creation is increasingly in demand. To meet these novel requirements, CodeArtworks specializes in extending Unreal Engine’s capabilities through customized C++ plugin development, as well as modifying core systems for deeper customization when necessary.

Expertise Includes:

• Custom Shading Models, Vertex Factories, and Asset Types
  We create unique visual effects, shading models, and asset types tailored to specific needs. From lighting and material systems to custom asset pipelines, our work ensures that your project’s visuals stand out with optimal performance.

• Custom Text Rendering and UI Systems
  Drawing from our experience developing HYPE, we’ve implemented resolution-independent text rendering by hacking into Unreal’s RHI core. Our expertise in building complex UI systems allows us to deliver highly responsive, intuitive interfaces while maintaining real-time performance standards.

• Movie Render Queue: Support for Custom Media Formats
  We add support for custom media formats within Unreal Engine’s Movie Render Queue. For example, we developed a plugin that enables exporting video directly to MP4 format. This allows for efficient output of high-quality video content in formats tailored to specific project needs, which is particularly beneficial for advertising and VFX workflows.

• Advanced Keyframe Animation & Sequencer API Tools
  CodeArtworks has built advanced keyframe animation tools on top of Unreal’s Level Sequencer API, enhancing the motion design pipeline. These tools are designed to handle complex, dynamic animations and streamline workflows for real-time cinematics.

• Post-Process Visual Effects Shaders
  We specialize in post-process shaders that bring sophisticated visual effects to life, offering enhanced visual quality for VFX and immersive experiences.

• Porting and Integration of 3rd-Party APIs
  Our team has integrated APIs like ElevenLabs, OpenAI’s GPT and Sketchfab into Unreal Engine projects, expanding the engine’s capabilities with external technologies such as text-to-speech,AI driven image generation, asset management, and more.
