Amazing Re-Creation of Ancient Egyptian Pyramids in VR | Unreal Engine 5

[@projetsgroupeactif]

Exciting! Starting with Unreal Engine 5, I dream of making a history video game, where we could, among other things, explore historical places and events, like in this video! So this video will be very useful to me! Keep producing, I love it too much!

[@Kevin-ju1kb]

Definitely Steve Zahn!!!

[@VRnamek]

Awesome. VR is perfect for stuff like this. I'd love to see more historic reconstructions in VR. the best I have available to me is Assassin's Creed Nexus on Meta Quest. But tho a very good game, the maps are not that big, Athens for instance is just a couple blocks near the walls, the rest is background scenery. Still amazing experience, just taking in the sights, watching workers and people NPCs on the streets and the assets are AAA-grade, so at least looks very authentic... I wish full AC series games are one day fully ported to VR, even without all the fighting or game elements. They're a treasure trove...

[@Learn-archViz]

Totally agree about VR and about Assassin's Creed. It is pretty amazing the historical 3d content they have created for those. They should share the models with me 😁

[@DaveBjornRapp]

I used to be a visualization artist at Bergmann Assoc., before that exhibit design, and even earlier a 2D/3D artist in the e-learning field. This is amazing. I was a 3DS MAX guy too, but when my license got corrupted or something I got no love from AutoDesk, so I switched over to Blender. I'm not going back. This project has really taught me that UE is great for visualization. You've done a great job. Forget what the haters say - they're just grumpy because Mom won't buy them a car. As far as which actor, I'm going to be on Steve Zahn.

[@DaveBjornRapp]

BTW my Oculus Rift S is perfectly fine for visualization. Works great. Although you may want to try to set movement to SMOOTH instead of teleport. Way more natural.

[@Learn-archViz]

Oh, interesting. I might give that a try.

[@Learn-archViz]

Ding ding ding! It's always Steve Zahn 😂 Yeah, I am quite impressed with Blender, actually. And yes, UE is amazing. Thank you so much for watching!

Probably just nitpicking but the Great Pyramid has 8 sides (excluding bottom) other than that, cool video dude.

[@Learn-archViz]

I read about that afterward. I wonder if it would show up much in the video. Probably slightly at sunset. Thanks for watching.

By the way, the Egyptian pyramids have 8 sides not 4. Certain times of day when shadows are right, you can see the 2 sides of the 1 side, a line from top to bottom right in the middle..

[@Learn-archViz]

Yes, it has been mentioned. I have read that it is very subtle and mostly visible at sunset during certain times of year, and only applies to the Great Pyramid. Not sure it would have changed the look of my scene much, but a very interesting detail to know.

[@More-Space-In-Ear]

@Learn-archViz I think at the time of building it would of been completely 4 sides, eons have passed and structure has sunk with all that weight on the plateau it visible today...and still standing

Awesome stuff, I love the effort you have put in to create this, I've done basic stuff in Blender (Donut tutorial) which I loved, just need more hrs in a day to learn so much more, VR is fantastic when the maps/models are good, I'm still on a 1070 so don't think my system would do so well with UE5 VR projects, may get to do one when I retire and have upgraded! lol. After playing Elite Dangerous in VR mode I can't go back to flatscreen! I would love to see a valley of the kings in full VR, especial KV5 Ramesses II family tomb.

[@Learn-archViz]

Yeah, there are so many cool applications, but like you, I need way more time in a day 🙂

[@HumanNameAgain]

Very cool. I really need to learn substance painter, really shows how powerful it is in this. Also, I totally believe this was amazing in the VR. I've been using the newest Quest at my friends place, and it really is mind blowingly different than seeing things on a 2D screen. I imagine everything is going to move towards VR, just like we moved from black and white to colour tv. Need to look through your videos, but it'd be cool to see other ancient cities/civilizations. Maybe like Babylon, Ur, Mayan's or Aztec Tenochtitlan. I think they have records of the hanging gardens there and the city, written by the scribes and such.

[@Learn-archViz]

Awesome ideas. I have definitely considered doing a Mayan city, probably Tekal or similar.

[@maxamillion499]

Brilliant work, I feel you could of taken more artistic licence in beautifying the buildings and walk ways. With flowering plants and mosaic's because the Egyptian kings liked to show their opulence. Fantastic work, Aztec next?

Other than that is was amazing to see Dynastic Egypt as it once was. Thanks for sharing 👍👍

[@Learn-archViz]

I actually have it oriented properly, and I used Unreal Engine and Ultra Dynamic Skies to create an accurate sun path for the area. That said, it does rise a little bit in the Northeast, and set in the Southwest. I forget what time of year I set it to. I *might have faked it a little bit with some arbitrary rotation in order to create more dynamic shadows.

The other way is to go the opposite direction, and just add the VR template functionality to your project using the content browser. In that instance, you have to do a few other things to make it work, though, like make the VR pawn auto possess player 0, and change the game mode to the VR template one instead of the default.

Did you try packaging the project and running that way? I find my big projects work that way. Even on highest settings. Btw, those symbols are hieroglyphs that translate to “Osiris is not pleased” Also, also: if you had to choose one, Dash or Substance Painter, which would you go with?

Oh, I should try packinging and see for sure. It seems that a lot of my performance problems are also caused by my screen recording.

@@Learn-archViz I dont know, 4 sides vs 8 sides is pretty important if you ask me, besides the fact it is easy to make in 3D software.

@@madigorfkgoogle9349 Okay, well I guess we would have different goals for a project like this, and a different idea of what is a successful project. The concave walls are very subtle and only noticeable at very specific times, so it would not have changed what I am trying to do here at all. If accuracy was my #1 goal, which maybe it is for you, then it would be important.

@@Learn-archViz Well, since you titled your video "Amazing Re-Creation of Ancient Egyptian Pyramids in VR" one can hope it is re-creation and not artistic imagination, right? So if your No.1 goal was to do artistic impression, then do not title your video a re-creation in VR.... Im really not "Amazed".
