so i know this might be way way to early and i hope DTG looks at this video. unreal 4.26 look very impressive for skybox point of view. (cloud part at mark 22:21 in the video)there going to be new cloud system that has 3d clouds and cloud shadows that go over the landscape. i think it be soon released in few months or weeks. and i think when tsw2022 get release the engine update could be around this area 2.5 or 2.7. no no next tsw2022 won't be on unreal 5 that way way to early for tsw to be on unreal 5. wait for few years. and if your thinking my post is way way to early to talk about next tsw release. i saw on post long time ago that when ts2019 was released the team was already hard at work at ts2020. so right now i think parts of team is planing and working on tsw2022 for next year. here unreal 4.26 preview video.
The only question is how hard is it to go from the current version to 4.26. If you do not need to touch anything then they can do it at any time, but if it takes a ton of work I can't see it happening any time soon.
I would like to think the current version was designed with future upgrading in mind. We can but hope.....
ya i hope the current version tsw 2 has upgrade in mind. and the unreal there using is dev version and maybe there dev version of 4.26 who knows. but that if you have to touch something to upgrade then yes i don't see it happening.
Yeah I truly don't understand why they spent time and resources integrating a third part SkyDome when Unreal produces such results out of the box.
They talked about the new unreal engine and directx 12 on the streams. It is a major exercise to move to it apparently.
