I'm completely convinced someone at Epic sold their soul to make UE as powerful as it is with version 5.x. It's just insane what the engine can do. Shoutout to the artists who can leverage this ridiculously impressive tool!
This isn’t even its final form! 😉
Tim Sweeney did, long time ago when he took money from Tencent
Tim Sweeney rewrote unreal engine 7 times. So we see here result of 20 years of daily work.
@@zxcqNo, he didn't. The UObject crap is still there, the garbage collector is still there, the BeginPlay that is running on main thread hitching the frame whenever something loads is still there. UE is a VERY old tech dressed in nice (but super expensive and slow) rendering and nice looking tools.
Astonishing, the atmosphere is great! Good attention to details, transports you right into it.
That makes me extremely excited about the games that are to come in the next years.
Birka is fascinating, it has ferry and private moorings to visit, a small restaurant and good shop with mannequins and 3d models, a decent enough reenactment village, a long steep walk up through the burial grounds and return past the Christian Era stone cross through light forest. I spent a wonderful day there last summer. Accessed only by boat it is on an island West of Stockholm called Björkö.
Made of wood it fell out of use and was lost to history for a long time. It is said it was the inspiration behind the TV series 'Vikings' home town of Kattegat (although the series was set in Southern Norway and filmed in Ireland).
Please post more of these. It just gave me chills watching it.
This is so gorgeous!! Your talent is unmatched ❤ it's giving the exact same vibes as Kattegat in the Vikings show
Fantastic work, love the realism and authenticity! Good job!
This is how AC Valhalla should have looked like. Excellent work.
Thanks to shitty consoles, it wont happen for at least another 5-10 years at least.
Would be nice, except we'd have whiney babies crying that they can't get 60fps on their GTX 1060.
I don't get you people. Why ''should'' it have looked like this? Or perhaps it ''should'' have looked like like how Unreal engine 8 is going to look like and unreal engine 5 is the ugly one.
Why blaim consoles? Pc and console hardware, are the same thing. You can't expect for only pc's to excist and no console's for obvious reasons. And console's have a lifespan of about 7 years... And when the console's are made they have good hardware in them. Like PS5 has rtx 2070 strength of hardware i believe. Wich is wayyyyyy better then ps4.
Thats just how it go's. Every 7 years the console's change for newer ones, and you get a new gen of graphics. Meanwhile hardware and other things keep getting better. Pc's get stronger and after 7 years its time to refresh everything again.
How the heck is that ''the fault of console's'' ???????????
consoles suck @@jameswayton2340
@@lolmao500You said "at least" twice...I feel your anger
Insane! I forgot it wasn't real and had to recheck the title of the vid.
Incredible achievement.
This needs more movement of objects floating in the water, and more water movement in general, I think. The boats being absolutely stationary in the water gives away the illusion, they should be subtly moving up and down at least. The water right at the shoreline should be slightly more turbulent as well, even in a calm sea, the area right by the shore would still be relatively dynamic. I also think there should be a bit more atmospheric haze in those outdoor shots, and more indicators of air movement. I think you're going for an eerie, deserted quality, as if all the denizens of the village had only just vanished, and I think a little more haze would ramp up the creepy factor. I think some of the lighting could be tweaked as well. This feels like it was lit to showcase the detail of the 3D environment, rather than to emulate how a camera would see a similar environment in real life. Some of the shadow detail should be getting lost a bit. I also think the sound design could have incorporated a few other elements to make the viewer feel like they were moving through those environments, like footfalls on the planks, etc. This sequence would also benefit from having a character as a point of view observer in the shot, rather than being a first person view. Not even necessarily full shots of the person, just glimpses of silhouette, hands, feet, etc. if you want to maintain the mystery and creep factor. Is the observer a witness to the aftermath of a tragedy, or the cause of that calamity?
Thank you for your input, maybee there will be a V2. Water in Unreal Engine is a bit of a challange 😅 If you have a good water system you recomend it would be very helpful 🙂
@@marcussandgren271 Man, I'm calling BS. Input, schminput - it looks awesome.
You really nailed the roughness levels ! Great work
Absolutely wonderful!!! A beautiful journey through time to a reality full of coldness and severity. Amazing!!!
Incredible work, man! 🤩
Wow. This looks amazing! Good job, man.
I have looked at a huge amount of 3D animations over the last 3 years, and has never seen anything even close to this quality. In addition to the superb technical skills, you have preserved a modesty regarding the eviroment . It is a lot of UE 5 presentations of vikinghouses and boats etc. that are so far from the real thing. A lot of effets and exaggerations are in play that give people a totaly wrong picture about the viking age. I am myself a member of a viking group in Norway, so I have at least an idea what is genuine and false. Hope you will create more of the same stuff! Regards Tor Bertel.
So what do you do in a Viking group
Jeg er med i ei vikinggruppe som heter Olavs Menn ved Norsjø i Telemark. Vi har vårt eget vikingtun og disponerer et vikingskip. Mye aktivitet, også innen film. @@unger53194
@@unger53194they do what vikings always do course
Get cool names like 'tir bertel' @@unger53194
Ive just started watching UE5 tutorials, clips like this really inspire me
The fact that this can be a video game is a dream come true.
Very impressive work, the amount of detail is incredible
Such a great atmosphere! Keep it up bro
the “raven part” is my favorite, mad respect
Many shots it looks cinematographic ! Amazing.\
very impressive, well done
Beautiful!!!
Why in every nordic/viking scene, are the sky's only gray, throughout 90% of depictions? Fine Work!
In the nordic countries there is like 90% of all days with a gray ocercast ;)
Holy Mother of CG Gods...
HDRI, skydome, lighting and post-processing volume tutorial is demanded of you, immediately!!! Aaaahhhhhh.......
Super impressive but beginning to wonder but beginning to wonder when these types of advances are actually going to feature in a video game.
This is awesome. It is indistinguishable from reality!
As long, as no persons are there, it could be filmed reality. Phantastic work! Cudos.
How long did you sit on this?
The crow was amazingly real animated. Perfect!
Looks great, but that wooden path has quite a lot of repeating sections. I think it would look even better if it had some organic randomness to it.
Så jäkla mäktigt!! Galet snyggt!
Heill Odinn! o/
@@daniiltolmachev4630 24/7!!
Really nice work. Congratulations!
damn cant wait to play a videogame 20 years from now. and to see what unimaginable things we will be able to do then.
I sure wish I had a powerful PC, so I could view content like this in VR ... one day!
Amazing job, though its always funny to me how a small low fidelity texture can clash so harshly with the high fidelity ones.
this is how games will look like in about 8-10 years
Photo realism games is the next big thing for graphics. Next gen consoles will probably be pushing a lot of games that look like this to sell consoles. Hopefully pc can get some photo realistic games sooner. Pretty exciting. This is what I dreamed games would be like when I was a kid playing ps1. It's going to be incredibly immersive.
I admit I had to keep reminding myself I wasn't watching a movie....... although this could be used in one...
Amazing. absolutly amazing. Some minor things mostly about the water that could have been tweaked a little bit more, but overall absolutly amazing. How long did it take to make it?
Looks so real well done!!!
Thats awesome and beatiffully natural lighted and shaped!
Such a shame that a a war between the village and troops out of the wood would destroy almost every hardware if the details remain the same 😢
Great SW Legends (EU) crowdfunded movies could be made by this engine!
Wish a Triple A developer would make a huge open world ultra realistic viking game about the viking invasion of britain with the map being the exact same as the british isles how it were back then, for consoles also. That would be insane.
Assasin's Creed already tried this. It sucked balls. And was weirdly anti-Christian too.
i wonder if we will ever see graphics as good as these in games like skyrim
I bet everyone fast forwarded the video and isn't watching the eternal slow motion!
Even if try to replicate a smaller version of this scene, my bloody pc would crash just by simply adding a mass textureless landscape that huge. ( Forget about attempting to enable the landscape nanite )
They should turn that into again
And hire the same composer (Ulf Söderberg).
I thought the Terminator soundtrack was going to kick in any second.
Чувствуется масштаб, пространство.
fantastic work!
Very very very nicely done!
Reminds me of the look of senua's sacrifice
Cinematic!
What were your render settings? I'd love to see a breakdown of the scene. And are these assets made by you or did you source them from somewhere else?
is this scene for sale in the unreal engine market
Tired of people using overcast skies to make the indirect lighting in their engine look better. Show me a sunny day in a colorful environment.
Why so low view count? I wanna play my game here.
awesomeeeee, Lumen or PTracing? love the details should taking a long time to finish
Pure Lumen :)
heavy stuff! stunning!. *.* :)
Fantastic work! Is it for sale in UE market?
Thanks for creating & taking us to a place that some of us wished we existed.
Can you do Haithabu?
Also great music
Made by Ulf Söderberg, a great composer, search for his music here on RUclips
@@marcussandgren271 Jesus F'ing Christ... that music sucked and melted/digitized me right into the God damned video. Bravo to that composer.
1080P in 2024? cmon man.
Well you seem smart
ruclips.net/video/IjO193clLo0/видео.htmlsi=hvFtv_aNdD-BZQRn If you really care about resolution
Impressive. Good job broder :)
Wow. Please make this assets available. Thank you.
This is the twilight of the gods! this is godly...can I know where I can stream the music?
way to go ! Amazing
Just incredible!
Very nice. Any chance that you can add metahumans?
would be interested to see the render before and after Davinci Resolve colorgrading :)
Actually, there is not much color grading at all :)
@@marcussandgren271 interesting, would love to see a full breakdown. Very cinematic. Excellent work
@@b.a.g2073 Thank you so much for your kind words :) I always try to set the tone and colors as close as I want it to be inside unreal.
looks very good.
Wow. Well done
how much time did u spend? seems here is incredible amount of work. like it
About ten days I would say
Stunning
Excellent 👍
Is this scene available for purchase?
Very good job !
This is absolutely beautiful. Where is this game at? We need a game consisting of stories from different Saga's. Take my money please. I swear I was born a thousand years too late.
amazing!
How long it took you to model all these assets with textures?
I once had a dream that looked like this. But it was snowy and i thought it's a Saami village
Awesome!
I Live not many KM from that Birka town.
Was that green screened footage of a real crow? As a proof of concept it's fine but it looks kinda out of place. Otherwise pretty solid. Some of the textures were a bit plain, mostly on exterior buildings but you can't have everything.
Yeah, the crow is green screen, and yes it doesn't match the lightning. And I agree with some of the textures. thank you for comment :)
Finally found the RTX ON button in Valheim!
Охренеть. Теперь бы ещё в VR это всё засунуть и из своей деревни можно не уезжать)
is this going to be part of a game, i think we are really missing a good viking-game yet. "War of the vikings" had a good potential to become that game. But it had bad lags that they were never able to patch out, so they finally stopped developing that game.

its amazing! How long it takes to create this from scratch?
Thank you so much! I think i worked on it on and off for like 2 weeks
+1 Sub .Amazing job! Is there a way to test it?
Very nice !!
Available on MARKET PLACE?
Insanely cool O_O
Awesome!!
Astounding.
too good! 😮🔥
How the multiplayer plays: 🤼♀️
amazing work 🔥
did you used lumen?
Thank you so much! Yes, it is Lumen.
Unreal. Unbelievable. Awesome.
I feel like that guys don't need to wear a helmet at the moment - this is only one unrealistic thing in your work. In my humble opinion :)
Thank you so much. Yeah, I agree that those guys are the weakest elements.
1:40 THE FISH ON THE TABLE LOOKS WOODEN.
It's a photoscan, not real wood ;)
Amazing!
Thank you so much!
