Environment

I built an indoor, saloon style environment to provide variations on lighting, shadows, object distances and geometry shapes. 

This uses a MegaScans asset pack, available here

Anti-Aliasing Techniques

Unreal Engine has different techniques built in. FXAA, MSAA, TAA, TSR are all built in, with the option to disable them. These can be changed at runtime through console commands.

There is a plugin created by NVIDIA that allows for DLSS to be added into projects. This was used to provide an alternative option.

I also created a custom post-process shader to apply an anti-aliasing effect. This works by detecting edges and applying a blur. Using a post process material, this was written in a custom HLSL node.

Engine Subsystem

To control the project, I created an engine subsystem. This served a few purposes. First, it provided the functionality for code to run both in the editor and in a compiled game. The subsystem controls the anti-aliasing type that is being used. A custom console command allows changing between the existing anti-aliasing types, as well as the additional techniques added in.

The engine subsystem controls the performance tracking. This works by creating a struct for the statistics of delta time, cpu time, gpu time, memory allocation and saving it to a csv file for the current test sequence.
