First thing is that although we can achieve almost photoreal results from UE5 still pathtracers are better in terms of quality. UE5 even when the result is great still has this "game" feel and is hard to get rid of. Second thing is that Autodesk software is dominant in this business and render times nowadays for 4k animation result is not that bad.

thank you, I optimized the grass - I used lower quality grass from megascans

thank you too for watching

thanks, you're too kind! plan is to work on more similar videos

thank you very much

thanks, materials and textures are from megascans

Where did you get the 3D model or drawing?

@@NMY03 I made building model myself and drawings from client

thanks! I made leaves myself and niagara settings are mostly from a tutorial video from Aziel Arts channel. You can find it by searching "ue5 niagara falling leaves"

thanks! Its made in Unity and for the curtain I used opacity map

that is a plan for some future videos ;)

thank you!

Thanks, rendertimes were about one minute for one frame. Overall render took about 20 hours to complete. Yes I used GPU for render. I optimized it by working with as low res textures as possible. These characters are from reallusion, I got them from there together with animations for the models.

@@megatecture Thank you. I have a few more questions. If you can remember, how many samples did you use? Did you use Viewlayers? I just watch your Chateau Project Overview video wich I found very inspiring. This lead me to my last question, for those kind of projects would you rather do them in Blender or in UE? Edit: Regarding reallusion character was it a package that you bought? The last time I checked I was overwelmed by their offers and didn't know what to pick.

@@amevorf32 It was about 80 samples. No I didnt use viewlayers. Now I prefer doing animations in UE5 - its much faster. I didn't buy any package at Reallusion. Just picked characters I needed, some casual looking people

Okay. I recently switched back from 3ds max to Blender. I used to render animations with Vantage and now that a new project is coming in I was exploring my options. You helped me a lot. Thank you. Looking forward to more videos from you!

Thanks! Trees are from Megascans, the translucency effect is just increased parameters in the grass material (grass is also from megascans)

thanks, its Rtx 2080 ti

thank you!

thanks, Its Rosendal Park sunset on Polyhaven

@@megatecture A million of thanks

thanks a lot!

Hey, Im using rtx 2080 ti and an i7 cpu - Its not some top hardware, its all about optimization. This animation render time was about 1 hour for 4K

@@megatecture thank you very much for your response.

thanks! Barely noticable detail ;)

definitely can recommend switching to unreal ;)

thanks! let me know how it goes!

I think its already replacing it but only for really simple animations during the development stage. For a detailed marketing animation you will always need the best and capable software

thank you too for watching :)

thanks for watching! Yes I used this one for less flicker on foliage: r.Raytracing.Geometry.InstancedStaticMeshes.Culling 0

@@megatecture ohh great, thank you

thank you!

thanks! No post process in this project, I tried to have satisfactory effects straight from renders

thank you! I try to use low res textures and as little geometry on models as possible. Foliage together with wind comes from a pack that was free for a month on UE marketplace called "Mediterranean Coast"

It's probably some issue within shadows settings or the light source settings. Let me know if you manage to find out what was causing that

@@megatecture Probably my render settings are wrong.

stay tuned for an overview of some settings in this project - it might help with this issue. Should be next week here ;)

Are you also using a HRDI or is the background modelled?

@@NMY03 Hi, its realtime Lumen, rtx 2080 ti - if this is a monster it is a very old one ;) Background is modelled and the sky is HDRI

@@megatecture Hey man, could also do a small tutorial on the background you did in this scene? :d

Hey, for that I used plugin called "Archvis tools"

I used plugin called "Archvis tools"

@@megatecture Thank you so much !

Hello I don't think landscape in this project requires tutorial - Its really simple hills with trees scattered ;)

@@megatecture I second this comment. It would be extremely interesting to see your design process. You've achieved a very natural look, would love to know what you've used for the ocean in this example. Plus what may seem simple to yourself, may help others develop their work.

@@tompownall8268 thanks, you're right, I'll see what I can do ;)

rtx 2080 ti, i7 5820, 32gb ram

@@megatecture so i have an rtx 3070 ti which is a bit better than an rtx 2080 ti but the problem is that it comes with 8gb will that affect my work ( i have 32gb of ram)

@@NeonT3tra25 additional vram is always helpful but I would just focus on optimization in your case (if the vram is the problem)

@@megatecture you mean optimize the settings and use low res textures and stuff ?

Thank you very much! Sure: 16:9, aperture 1.6 focal length 20

thank you!

Thanks! Yes its an HDRI for background and skylight mixed with directional light as well

Thank you very much! Short breakdown about this project is in the works

@@megatecture That would be awesome. Look forward to it.

Thanks! its Lumen :)

thank you!

Thanks, yes all the vegetations models are from megascans. When downloading there is an option to ignore engine version IIRC

thank you very much!

Thanks! Plants are from megascans

Thank you! I learned it with a little experience in 3dsmax so its perfectly achievable. Best way to learn is to pick a specific project and try to recreate scene based on a reference :)

Thank you very much!

I'll make couple of short tutorials about this project :)

Thanks, its a megascans asset called "Grass clumps"

@@megatecture You can make small video how you do it, because I don't find video with same quality!

@@revisualisation I'll make small series of short tutorials and one of them will be about this grass. Stay tuned!

thanks, that was an effect I was looking for! :)
