Looks amazing, but one thing bothers me. Not the grass, like everyone seems to be hung up on, but that the meteor impact isn't "displacing" the ground it hits, but merely erases a sphere of ground. Would be cool to make the impact erase a sphere where it lands and then "add" a ring of extruded ground around it, making it look as if the mass was displaced rather than disintegrated into nothingness. Currently the impacts look like implosions, when they should look like explosions.

[@blueowlz]

VFX will come after to give you the effect you're lookin for. The whole purpose of this makes it easier for a lot of artist to work on if, let's say, there was meteors hitting the ground in a game. You're expecting UE5 ti be able to do EVERYTHING, that's not the point.

[@erikjohansson4374]

@@blueowlz Should have made clear in my comment that I understand that it's not something that's up to the engine, but the creator. Just like people complaining about the grass movement being too dramatic, I was simply commenting about something that could make the meteor impacts specifically look better. I understand that the video is just to showcase functionality, and I just came with an idea on how to make those impacts look better, nothing more. I'm not expecting UE5 to do "EVERYTHING", neither did I ever imply such a thing. The meteor impacts is programmatically set to remove one sphere on impact, so it's not outlandish to believe that the creator can programmatically make it create a donut of ground around the impact as well. :)

The craziest thing to me is the sense of distance, size. The mountains look so life like, i can feel how far away they are and how big they are, maybe because it's actually there and not some jpeg put in by the devs.

[@helplmchoking]

@@fitzorpercy2884 I guess it's the difference between the smooth, play-doh distant landscapes we're used to getting (or the baked in skybox textures) and full detail, full lighting models. Like the nanite stuff has been cool to see, but the real benefit imo isn't so much the higher quality close up models but the ability to leave all the models at max quality, all the time rather than having to decrease LOD over distances. It means everything can be the same visual quality and actually fit the scene.

[@human-ft3wk]

@@helplmchoking You know the models still decrease LOD over distances. It's true that the designer places the models at max quality, but nanite automatically decreases LOD over distances. It's what the tech does. You could still achieve the same thing before, just with a lot more manual effort.

[@SwarumtheForum]

@@human-ft3wk The difference is that you can only have so many manual LODs, so there's snap in. Nanite does it automatically, like how things in real life aren't as detailed from as far away. And mountains in the background of Nanite don't look like Play-Doh.

I don't think people understand how revolutionary UE5 really is. It's literally a game changer. It's like we hopped into a time machine, stole a game engine from the future, and brought it back to our time. UE5 also cuts out an entire crew creating a game as some of its features are one click options. Basically, this engine is so simple and user friendly, a single person could create a very high quality game by themselves without a need for an entire development team. This engine is absolutely nuts!!! we are in for a future full of incredible games that we will soon play.

Hi guys, thanks so much for the kind comments on this demo. I also appreciate your feedback and it helps me to improve for my future videos. To clarify this was put together in just a couple of weeks and I worked on this solo, so it's not 100% polished or representative of a finished product. The main complaints on this demo have been Grass animations and Rocks popping in. Luckily both of those are simply oversights on my part and are not an inherent drawback of the technology itself. In future I may do a longer video showing this project in more detail and of course will make efforts to fix those issues! Thanks for watching and making this channel great! Cheers, Joe

[@7minutesdead]

Thanks for working on this Joe. Yeah I thought it was strange to have such dramatic pop-in when also using Nanite. It made me think it's a limitation of the plugin itself.

[@brunoverde2769]

Thank YOU, Joe. You're delivering high-quality content to us. About the specific issues you mentioned: - the pop-in rocks, I thought it was done of purpose to not make this demo performance heavy since the main scope of the video was not to explore the world, so for me it's a very minor "problem" - about the grass, I was not that bothered by the "idle/wind" animation instead I was amazed when the meteors were hitting the ground and the wind-animation of the grass was sped up.

[@edgesvideogames5582]

i use your brushify tools and these 2 complaints are minor and so simple and easy to fix that i wouldnt even call these complaints. Personally i think the grass looks good and the rocks issue is just a foliage cull distance tweak. I know you always prefer performance over graphical fidelity...but i think even if the video is capped at 30fps with all things cranked up to max and at 1440p....this will look mind blowing. Love your tools Joe, cant wait to see what more you do with UE5.

It felt like a game I've played before with a new shiny coat of paint. I want to experience things on a whole new level. Everything needs to be destructible and NPCs need to have smart enough AI to react correctly to it. I just want something that truly wows me, not in terms of graphics because that no longer feels impressive really, but in terms of believable worlds and NPCs that actually shock you with how random their actions can be.

I want to be able to interact with everything in a game like an improvement on games like Half life 2. I want to play a game like Skyrim where like you said the AI is smart enough to react to what’s going on. Dragons flying over a giant city blasting the tops of tall buildings with fire and watching them collapse while the citizens run and try to escape. Massive tsunamis towering over NYC and completely wiping it out in real time and watch the water fill up the land. Be able to actually go into any door in game. Chemistry reactions in game. Etc etc etc Games sure do look pretty these days but feel hollow, take Cyberpunk for the latest example. I want more than an interactive screen shot game now.

All of this would be great for future next generation... but the big thing that will need to be done in the future before ANYTHING else in my opinion is space optimization and compression of massive files.

According to animators and movie buffs, high framerates and resolutions make it look fake and cheap; like a soap opera. Movie magic is low framerates so you can't tell that the animation is bad, that the mask the actor is wearing is made of silicone rubber and the actors don't know how to do sword play. Also, did you know that pops, scratches and severe distortion makes LPs sound much better than CDs? Just say you prefer good old 240p x 30 FPS youtube and you won't have terrible internet access; you'll be a trend setter.

[@OnigoroshiZero]

​@@mythologue In games, the developers are using methods to simulate real-world phenomena (physics, light, weather, fluid simulations, etc.) in a computationally cheap way, but that is not how the real world works. In the real world everything is the result of the interactions of atoms and particles, but to use these for games is impossible with today's hardware, I don't know if even supercomputers today can do that in a large scale. Ultra realism is simulating everything in a game using real-world physics (atomic and particle interactions using the four fundamental forces), from the destruction of objects, to water/fluid simulations, wind, realistic weather (rain that makes the water flow and gather realistically), gravity, etc. This will probably need computational power that will exist for personal use in 20-30 years from now. Is this required for a realistic game world? No. Will it make games even better if it becomes possible? Probably yes, but it's my personal wish to see fully realistic game-world in the future.

Just scaled up the plane for distance, maybe a couple layers with different scaling/mirrored to give it some parallax depth. IIRC they aren't square textures so they tend to look better stretch horizontally to something more like a 2:1 aspect ratio.

I really just wanted longer render distance on already existing technologies. Good job on having this voxel stuff in unreal engine 5. Its exactly like valheim in respects to how far it renders. You have a small area around you but in long distance anything you did to the environment doesnt load up. I want big fights in the sky that can be seen from far away. This is just your typical 30 meters of good render around you and hope the hills around you hide the lack of rocks further away. This isnt all that great. Unless you can apply all this to whole kilometers its not that good.

A major part of the market is still on the 10XX series of nvidia cards and locking that massive part of the market out from being able to play your games is something only an absolute moron would do (especially considering the difficulty in getting a new card these days) unless they're somehow making a statement, as that is potentially billions of dollars in revenue you lose out on across the industry. So in terms of performance his card should remain fairly high end according to spec requirements in games for at least another couple of years and be mid to low end after that for many years to come. You have to remember that the majority of the market is never and probably never will be the people who have a 3080 or the like, the majority will always lag behind the early adopters and enthusiasts.

In the current market though, despite console scalping jacking console prices up too, I would not recommend buying a PC unless you have multiple reasons to get one. For example, I'm a fresh product and transportation designer, so I do a lot of CAD work, renderings and 3D modelling in VR, so an expensive PC pays for itself in increased productivity.
