    So basically, 3D scanning an environment, you used a similar method that Developers "Big Fish" 3D Scanning of Chernobyl for their game Chernobylite - Which runs on Unreal Engine 4 - Making the real scanned maps of the game feel like a AA+ title.. However, this church in Unreal Engine 5 looks phenomenally better, you'd think it's a Pre-Rendered cutscene, but it's all Real-Time!

      @smittyvanjagermanjenson182 Год назад

      Not even 10 years. Right now, games are capable of this, but only the highest end gaming PC is capable of doing it this outstandingly well. Currently EPIC is using Fortnite to showcase these features, and the results (even for a more cartoon art style) are jaw-dropping on the latest consoles. I played the other day and was just marveling at the fine details you don't notice unless you stop and look. I stopped in a "cheese and meats shop," and the cut wheels of cheese up close were slightly low resolution, but still good enough to show every little crater and crack. The ray tracing used for reflections and shadows in the game were running in software, and they also do a great job mimicking what the brute force of hardware based solutions can do. Honestly console hardware just needs to catch up at this point as these techniques for more realistic art direction is fairly demanding

    • @malydok
      @malydok Год назад

      The church in Ethan Carter is based on the Vang Stave Church in southern Poland, which is actually a Norwegian church transferred to Poland in 1842. The game contains other regional references, the dam, hydro-power plant and the railway bridge are based on their counterparts in Pilchowice. Not sure how accurate but I remember hearing that the game was one of the pioneers in photo scanning real environments.

    Picture yourself in an era when such possibilities were just a dream. I can still recall the initial attempt to activate my orchid voodoo card while playing Quake 1. We at first imgained that there was improvement on screen, and then, suddenly, when it actually kicked in- the transformation was astonishing. It was a mere smudge of pixels, but it delivered a silky-smooth 30 frames per second. And we had never ever seen anything like that in game-graphic terms.
    Fast forward 25 years, and we evolved through advancements like pysx, Nvidia, UE3 and now UE5. Nanite, and lumen have pushed the boundaries of graphical capabilities. Yet, as impressive as it is, it pales in comparison to that unforgettable first experience. We've become somewhat desensitized to the mind-boggling graphics we see today. Yet, I can't help but smile and reminisce when I witness the opening scenes of this movie, reflecting on how times have evolved. Astonishing work well done!
