Important DirectX features now shipping with UDK include:
•Tessellation and displacement;
•Geometry shaders;
•Multisampled textures; and
•Shader Model 5.

High-end rendering features include:
•Image-based reflections that allow surfaces of any shape to reflect an approximate version of scenes, with varying glossiness across surfaces, anisotropic HDR highlights and anti-aliasing;
•Subsurface scattering (SSS) that simulates the light that scatters inside semi-translucent materials, making character skin come alive;
•Anti-aliased masked materials that super sample the edges of masked and alpha-tested materials, making character hair more look realistic than ever before;
•Deferred rendering with MSAA support;
•Bokeh depth of field providing close to film-quality DOF, with artist-controllable Bokeh; and
•High-quality dynamic shadows from many lights on the environment, such as shadows for point lights and other light sources.
