@@RCReplayOn hey, this could be heavily optimized and on pixel streaming it could run pretty smoothly. Not perfect of course, but getting there...

Hey, thanks! Hmm, yes, exteriors could be tricky, and I will also make a tutorial on that subject! In the meantime, if you are using Nanite, make sure to check the preserve area in the Nanite setting for each mesh, and it should solve your shadow problem.

@@StudioHeisenberg thanks for the tip. Can you recommend anti aliasing and console variable settings for movie render queue?

Hi there, here are 3 things I have tried: (1) Disable depth of field in your cinematic camera in Unreal Engine if you don’t need it. (2) r.tonemapper.sharpen = .75 (approx) should help a bit. (3) post production in Davinci Resolve; using a combination of noise reduction, super scale and some sharpening fx. I used all of these techniques in my latest UE Archviz on my channel. Check it out if you want.

@@T_DAP nice tips thanks!

Thanks!

@@sr2sdouble well, actually without Megalights in this case it would be 5fps dude 😂

He did say it was on a laptop. These are movie level quality assets, which aren't optimized for FPS and it looks like he might have hardware ray tracing enabled. The megalights demo was ran on a PS5. Megalights seem to still have the target FPS of 60 for gameplay, but the point of megalights is how well they scale in quantity where as normal lights scale really badly

@@variann6488Hey, good point, actually besides hardware ray tracing all the lumen settings are cranked up here, as the idea was that before Megalights it was impossible to even work with this quality in 4K and on laptop. With few modifications like disabling hardware raytracing and lowering down lumen reflection settings the fps with Megalights were around 50 and without around 30 (still 4k) and it actually doesn't effect the scene that much, but for cinematic purposes it's nice to have best quality right in the viewport as a preview for cinematics.

@@variann6488 You mean the assets are designed for films or cinematics and are extremely high in detail, which isn't ideal for game performance. But then what is Nanite for? I thought you could support highly detailed, high-poly assets smoothly with Nanite without performance issues. Maybe I lack some knowledge here. Can someone clarify what Nanite's purpose is? I thought it replaces the tedious process of creating LODs.

@@CGYI-zb3ho Nanite in some cases can be a performance improvement, sometimes it can slow your game down. Nanites documentation goes into detail when to use nanite and when not to use it. In this case, nanite is the only thing that's making this scene playable for him. Yes, these are movie level quality assets, but also remember that movie quality scenes used to take seconds to minutes to render a single frame. The biggest FPS drop here is the lighting (I assume, we can't tell 100% for sure without looking at the profiler. In this case, I just assume it's the laptop he's using is not meant for this scene with ray tracing enabled) Nanite also performs the best when a mesh is used repeatedly throughout a scene, like you do in games. In scenes like this, you rarely ever re-use an asset, most of them are unique.

Nah dude, don’t do it. You’re really best to wait for 5.5.1, the .1 version is usually the version that has most of the project breaking bugs ironed out. Dont put yourself through the pain of your project bricking.

@@JBFandom Hi, thanks so much on the nice words! Really appreciate it! Well, I think it strongly depends from project to project, and of course since it is still preview version there are some bugs along the way, but there is a big chance your project will work just fine. I can suggest you two ways to do it: 1. Make a new clean project in 5.5 and than migrate your level or levels from 5.4 project to that 5.5 new project you just created. Note that if you have any plugins that were on in 5.4 they won't yet work in 5.5. 2. Make a copy of your 5.4 project and after the copy is there you can simply right click on the main project icon and there will be the option to change unreal engine version, you can choose 5.5 there and your project will than by default open in a new version. Hopefully you won't get any troubles along the way.

@@peterallely5417 Yeah, you're right. I'll keep trying to wait for the full 5.5 release. Thanks man. Really appreciate it

@@StudioHeisenberg I'll keep that in mind if I ever decided to download 5.5 preview. Thanks bud!

@@JBFandom you're welcome, just to be clear, of course always use preview versions for testing purposes only, and with the copy of the actual project you're working on so you can always go back if something is buggy or goes wrong.

@@rishi8292 hey, great to hear that! I have few similar topics with updated settings coming soon here :)

Thanks!

🙌

Hopefully soon :)

Hey, if you don't see it you probably need to enable it in plugins.

Hey, thanks, I've put it on the list will make a few more tuts in the next period!

Hey, totally agree, the problem was that with beta version sky was buggy and there was not much to do with it, but for new versions of Unreal this makes lot of sense. Thanks!

If it is not on by default you can turn it on i plug-ins

@@StudioHeisenberg thank you I have done it, thanks for the help! (:

Hey, make sure you enable it in plugins if needed and it will be under lights after that.

this was done with beta version of UE5, it is resolved since than in official build

Hi, that should be possible

Great to hear that this helped you!

You're welcome :)

Hey, models are actually from Megascans, but I will be actually later this year make few interiors that would be available on digital platforms :)

It should be automatically available. Do you have it when you go to add tab, under the lights category there should be sun and sky?

Coming soon! :)

Thanks for the recommendation, would use it as a guideline for future videos for sure!

@@StudioHeisenberg excited to see!

Are you increasing it on direct light (sun) or skylight? Skylight indirect does not do anything

@@StudioHeisenberg iam using a directional light set to movable

@@WARES-ht9ww The easiest way to fix that maybe is to move everything to fresh scene with raytracing and everything turned on and go from there.

@@StudioHeisenberg indirect lighting isnt working in any projects oof mine , if you dont mind , can i get the file you used in the video or any ue5 project withh indirect lighting , to check out if ive any wrong settings😐

@@StudioHeisenberg its okay , figured it out , engine scalability should be high or above that to get lumen working 🙂

Autoexposure is off here. Since this is done with the first version of UE 5 it is the bug later resolved.

Hey, no this is fully dynamic, no light baking at all

Absolutely :)

Hey, this was done with beta version, so at that moment Lumen wasn't really that good with lots of splotches and bugs, now there is much more control and quality, I might revisit this scene ;)

Make sure you are using GPU that support that

Hey, thanks a lot! Unfortunately lot of projects in last year, but keep an eye on the channel I'll be back soon :)

That's the plan!

Hey, planning one soon, keep an eye here :)

Thanks, glad you like it!

If it is not in lights, go to plugins and activate sunsky plugin, restart Unreal and it should be there.

@@StudioHeisenberg thanks man i will try it. My interior scenes wer looking very dark

Thanks!

It's under the lights category

@@StudioHeisenberg okay but there is nothing , only direction light ,point light spot,rect and skylight

If you are using older version, you will need to enable it first in plugins.

It's probably easiest to delete and add new light

Thanks!

Glad you like it. Yes I think it would be good, for some complex stuff though you will need more vram.

@@StudioHeisenberg Thanks. Mostly I'm trying to learn Archvis with lumen in UE5, so I won't need metahuman or nanite. These videos are really helpful btw.

Hey Danny, seems like your issue is caused by not modeling the interior right. Make sure each wall is separate object and if not Lumen might not work well, as seems like you get switched out of it and back to it between far and close....

@@StudioHeisenberg interesting... that is good to know.. the wall is one piece

@@StudioHeisenberg thanks i will give this a try and see what happens

Hi, if you dont have access to Lumen, you can always go back to light baking, beside the dynamic stuff you can achieve similar lighting and look.

Haven't tried that

Hey, thanks! Try adding more light or samples to lights you already have, also crank up Lumen values in post process! I am using Epidemic Sounds in all of my videos.

Exterior scenes would be much easier to get since there are not many global illuminations and dark corners needed, yet, the principle is the same.

Hey, thanks for kind words! Hm, it is hard to tell without looking into the scene but maybe the HDRI Backdrop is to big or to small?

Most welcome
