Let's walk in the Forest - Unreal Engine 5 exterior animation

[@H1mon]

this is BY FAR the best and most realistic UE5 render ive ever seen, this legit looks like real life. im blown away how good the trees look too, good job really!

[@kleolabs]

Thank's a lot, appreciated

[@g3rmany600]

Literally just looks like real life in the first two shots.

[@H1mon]

Yes i was confused as to if it was stock footage or not at first 😅@@g3rmany600

[@EnricoCiacchi]

@@kleolabs Incredible!!! Did you use the last version of UE5, i imagine ?! I'm currently dealing with high poly on version 4.23 to follow a specific course, but I would be very curious to try to push myself more towards the realistic as much as possible. Do you have any suggestions for any top asset packs on epic launcher? Thank you, keep it up!

[@kleolabs]

Thanks ! Unreal 5.1 for this video@@EnricoCiacchi

[@AAvfx]

Unreal is WOW!

[@kleolabs]

Oh yeah !

[@Love-xh3dg]

I want to pick herbs and make potions in a cozy wizard's house in the middle of that forest. Looks amazing.

[@julianweiser9985]

Wow... Trefoil doesnt grow on that kind of ground but still... incredible.

[@kleolabs]

Thanks !

Looks really good bro, good job!

[@yuriybobak]

Great quality !

[@kleolabs]

Thanks

[@kjounk]

This is astonishing. The first scenes are the best I've seen using UE 5. Would really like to accomplish something like this. Could you please reveal what kind of trees you used for this? Looks more detailed and realistic than Quixel's.

[@kleolabs]

Thanks ! custom modeled trees

[@Nykr]

Well done! Really impressive

[@kleolabs]

Thank you !

[@quietlyworking]

👏 Gorgeous renders. Spectacular work. Allot of folks could really learn from this. Richly detailed models, wonderful lighting, and well chosen movement. The community could really benefit from a breakdown if you ever have the time. 👊

[@kleolabs]

@@quietlyworking Thanks for the compliment, appreciate it ! Will try to do it when we have time

[@nurbson3202]

Really great work! I’m blown away. Can you make a tutorial about the lighting and post processing setup you used?

[@kleolabs]

Thank you, tutorial is not currently planned, sorry

[@hatereh9399]

This is incredible! Can I purchase the tree model used from 0:10 to 0:14?

[@enoreby8194]

Hello! Can you please tell me what program you used to create the vegetation?

[@QuakeProBro]

Holy shit! How did you make the trees? They look so damn fluffy :3

[@jukai4091]

Megascans did it i guess. 3D scanned trees/enviroment

i like it! Ferns are usually a little less shiny irl tho

How many years it took to render

[@kleolabs]

5 years, we started in 2019 :)

[@SathishKoththolla]

which UE pack you used or is it available for sale ? it is so cool

[@kleolabs]

custom modeled trees, thanks

[@sanchopai907]

ur work is awesome! the best i've seen so far... i have few questions for u, and would be happy if u answer them) 1. have used nanit? 2. how long did it take to render? 3. is laggy on viewport? 4. how did u make far trees not to disappear?

[@PouryaHosseini]

What is the render setting for this? Can you share more about the rendering process?

One of the best scenes i"ve seen using UE5, Trully Amazing, did you use lumen or pathtracer Please ? Thanks and keep up the good work

[@kleolabs]

Thanks a lot for the compliment! Path tracing

[@Murathanaksoz]

STILL FLICKER ! i am gonna get crazy

[@thebellcurve3437]

My only criticism is of the audio because the visuals are perfect. With real footage, when the camera in a forest moves from place to place, the audio will change with the scenery. Some birds will get louder, other sounds will get softer, the stereo pan will change, etc. But in this video the sound is one continuous audio file of forest sounds that does not match the jump cuts of the video. Yeah I know, the whole point of this video is to demo the graphics and not the sound effects so they take a back seat. I'm just saying, the audio was the only thing that jumped out at me as "unrealistic".

[@kleolabs]

Excellent criticism, I'll take note. thank you for commenting

[@TheGombino]

is there any alpha in the foliage?

[@Seik3n]

Which technique do you use to get the vertex normal of your trees so smooth ? Stunning !

[@kleolabs]

Not sure to understand, can you try to rephrase ? Thanks !

[@Seik3n]

@@kleolabs Sorry my English was a bit too French. 😆 Did you use a specific technique to make the light so soft on the trees? Editing the vertex normal of the model or anything ?

[@bezpuza]

[@abdelwahedbenlmir7800]

Dude , how long did it take to make this hella wonderful masterpiece

[@kleolabs]

Haha thanks, around 2 weeks

[@abdelwahedbenlmir7800]

Most game makers would take at least a month to make it , I'm astonished

[@nihilusedit1447]

That"s so good !! SpeedTree ?

[@kleolabs]

Thanks, no its a mix of custom modelling and existing popular companies

[@Squiffin]

@@kleolabs how did you get the needles and tree to look so 3 dimensional, are they actually modeled? The only tutorials i ever find is simply using an opacity texture for tree assets i already have. This is insanely good.

[@boyanpopyanev911]

Does this use path tracer?

[@kleolabs]

Yes

[@AlexanderO-j6k]

Great rendering and lightning! Is it lumen or pathtracing?

[@kleolabs]

Thanks, pathtracing

[@williamtomazspeltz8926]

Every time better

[@pontusvigur6720]

Very impressive trees! Is it real time recorded or offline rendered?

😮

[@ee-xenomorph]

wtf is going on dude! I had doubts for a while but this looks fucking awesome. My 3060ti hit 10 fps btw

[@kleolabs]

Thanks !

[@Engram0913]

Hello, very good video, it is one of the most real forests made in unreal. I have a problem, the trees that I download from unreal marketplace do not look real to me. Could you make a tutorial on how to properly configure the unreal marketplace trees. And I have a good PC, I don't think that's the problem, Thanks for your content

[@kleolabs]

Thanks, unfortunately a tuto is not planned yet

[@ramixsabeh]

Is that rendered with path tracer or lumen? :)

[@kleolabs]

Path tracing
