Unreal Engine 5.7 Mastery: Build Next-Gen Games, Cinematic Worlds, and Real-Time Experiences with PCG, Nanite, Lumen, and MetaHumans

By Robert J. Olive

What if one engine could power your next AAA game, cinematic film, architectural walkthrough, and simulation project, without switching tools or pipelines?

Unreal Engine 5.7 Mastery shows you how to make that reality practical. This book's core promise is simple: teach you to build professional, production-ready real-time experiences using the full power of Unreal Engine 5.7, from procedural worldbuilding to photoreal lighting and cinematic characters, without guesswork or fragmented workflows.

Instead of isolated feature tutorials, you learn how modern Unreal systems actually work together to ship real projects. You move beyond theory into workflows used daily by game studios, virtual production teams, visualization specialists, and simulation developers.

Inside, you gain hands-on mastery of:

Procedural world generation with PCG to build scalable cities, landscapes, and biomes

Ultra-dense environments with Nanite and real-world vegetation pipelines

Physically realistic materials using Substrate for skin, glass, cloth, metals, and architectural surfaces

Fully dynamic lighting and reflections with Lumen and modern shadow systems

Character creation and animation using MetaHumans, Control Rig, IK Retargeting, and motion capture workflows

Niagara VFX and Chaos physics for cinematic effects and simulation accuracy

Open-world streaming, performance profiling, and platform-aware optimization

Real-world pipelines for games, cinematics, virtual production, architecture, animation shorts, and training simulations

Each chapter connects features into real deliverables: playable open-world slices, cinematic sequences, interactive walk-throughs, and simulation demos, exactly the types of projects professionals build.

Whether you're a game developer aiming for next-gen visuals, a filmmaker creating real-time cinematics, an architect producing immersive presentations, or a simulation expert designing training environments, this guide gives you the same unified pipeline studios rely on today.

Stop juggling disconnected tools.
Build everything, in real time, with confidence.
