February 2013 UDK Beta Upgrade Notes
Epic Games, Inc. has released the February 2013 Unreal Development Kit (UDK) Beta, the latest version of the free edition of Unreal Engine 3 (UE3) that provides access to the award-winning 3D game engine and professional toolset used in blockbuster video game development, architectural visualization, mobile game development, 3D rendering,digital films and more. The latest UDK beta is available now at http://www.unrealengine.com/en/udk/downloads/.
New Substance Engine Integration for Smart Texturing
Starting with the February UDK, developers now have direct access to Substance, a leading toolset used for the rapid authoring of high-quality materials and dynamic textures. Substance can improve workflow by substantially reducing the iteration time for texture creation, and at the same time shrink download sizes.
The native integration, which ships with free content and tools in UDK, enables the real-time generation of Substance textures based on parameters set by users in the Unreal Editor or in Unreal Matinee. The parameters and base texture are created by an offline tool called the Substance Designer (an interface similar to UE3’s material editor) which generates a file that is then imported into the editor.
As an added bonus, for a limited time all UDK developers are eligible to receive a 50% discount on both the Substance Designer 3 commercial license, which offers all the latest professional tools for efficient texture creation, and Allegorithmic’s Bitmap2Material, an incredibly powerful tool for generating full, seamlessly tiling materials from any bitmap image.
To see how Substance provider Allegorithmic put the integration’s features to the test and reduced production time by 80%, visit the UDK showcase for Beneath, a special demo that shows how developers can benefit from what’s inside UDK right now.

It’s easy to get started using Substance. Be sure to check out Allegorithmic’s video tutorials and Epic’s dedicatedSubstance documentation on UDN.
Thanks to Substance provider and Unreal Engine integrated partner Allegorithmic for the discount and also for generously sponsoring Make Something Unreal Live 2013, our student game development competition in Europe.
