@@REDxFROG Still same level of terrain detail.

[@SilverAura]

@@REDxFROG That's not what nanite is though. Nanite closer to Euclidean in some ways than it is traditional rendering. Judging based on how smaller nanite meshes look when scaled too large, the polygons appear to be procedurally generated based on voxels defining the surface of a megascan asset and dynamically adjusting how large and how many voxels are needed to fill in the details based on the needs of the megascan and the distance it's being viewed from. Which is to say, the entire reason this even works isn't because these meshes are actually rendering their complete suite of polygons like a lot of people seem to be misrepresenting - including Epic themselves, because at no given moment should any megascan ever actually be rendering at full capacity. Even when you're up close, the idea is that less of the mesh is needed to be rendered so nanite can afford to focus more polygons on what's actually on-screen. As far as why any of this is possible in the first place... my best guess is that Epic has a polygon "budget" based on some arbitrary bar of performance, then using that to define how many polygons are permitted across the entire screen, meaning once you've established a baseline "minimum" for how things are going to look, there really shouldn't be any reason why full nanite megascan assets should ever look worse than that. That's a massive reason why Unreal 5 scales wonderfully with your resolution. Because it's defining polygons based on necessity, which when compared to pixel shaders which do a lot of relatively simple math but on each individual pixel being rasterized in the material. So the more an object with a given material covers the screen, the worse the performance is going to get. Not the case with nanite.

While watching I was pondering if this Nanite tech would work well enough with FPS games. The image seems to take a second to focus whenever it changes. It's like dynamic DOF and nearly infinite LOD levels combined. So playing a fast paced shooter with this tech would be something else. I don't imagine it would be fun playing BF having to squint and aim at blurry images all the time. Which also makes me wonder how dev's would deal with this tech in regards to player positioning and animations. I'm sure they could compromise one way or another though. From what I've seen this Nanite stuff will see the most benefit in immersive single player games or maybe small scale multiplayer. WTF do I know though, it raises a lot of questions and I'm still baffled about this magic.

The real answer is that Unreal Engine 5 is still in beta and can't deal with translucency very well, and so can't actually do light sims for the water. Unreal Engine 4.26 already has a working solution for caustics and water simulations though, so we will probably get much better water by the time UE5 gets a full release.

The camera movement and zooming is so cool, is the best part of the video.

[@alexmehler6765]

uhhm rocks always looked good in videogames .. its all the other things which look borked (hence they wont show it )

[@mattbecker3634]

Wow! this video is unreal!

[@ixenroh]

I'm just worried about future games made with assets of this quality fitting onto an entire harddrive

[@DAZTi]

Well, 100$ SSD > 3000$ GPU

[@jacobpipers]

The Nanite Version of the assets is way less then the og model and with less massive normal maps files the size of games will stay around the same size they are currently if not improve def as compression is always improving.

[@expressrobkill]

Yea there technology there to reduce the file sizes, thats gonna be happening yea you eventually have to buy a new pc, but eventually that issue will be solved with things like 5g anyway.

[@m333pm333p]

The graphics are uncanny but the physics and motion break the illusion. That gives me an idea.

[@EpicPianoArrangements]

Is it just me or does the water look rather lackluster in Unreal Engine 5??? Everything else looks absolutely amazing though.

[@MelhemSfeir]

I think we can tune the water more… thanks though!

[@thronosstudios]

Depends on the plugin you use too

[@MelhemSfeir]

Thanks a lot man!

[@celivalg]

It's amazing! I think you could add 'wetness' to surfaces, I did notice that the water ponds did look a bit out of place, and I think this could fix it edit: absolutely no clue how to do that btw

[@expressrobkill]

Adding wetness is as simple as changing the roughness of the surface, simply input noise into the material, or paint it on.

[@celivalg]

@@expressrobkill never really used unreal engine, I'm more of a logic oriented programmer? I love dealing with algoritms and stuff, modeling hasn't ever really been my thing with my atrocious talents in the domain.. :p

[@expressrobkill]

@@celivalg ha its cool, its pretty simple logically though. Values on noise range from 1-0 and its pretty random, you can use anything to create noise like converting an image into 1’s and zeros then using a random function to randomly change the 1’s to zeros and add some in-between values, the zeros are converted into information that reflect light and the 1’s converted into light absorption, so if you input it into a roughness node the parts with 0 look wet. I kinda dabble in programming but the ability to create sth visual that people thing about or enjoy is pretty cool. I just do it for me most of the time cant imagine working in anything eles.

[@celivalg]

@@expressrobkill yeah but how do you restric that wetness from applying only to the part of the texture you want? You can't apply it to the whole texture

[@expressrobkill]

@@celivalg well given its a beach it can pretty much be dotted over the beach no problem, just input it i to the texture itself, you can also mask off parts that you don’t want covered with things like vertex paint.

[@ElectronicPleasure]

@@TheSkyrocketYT Well it is fake so you are right but it's very damn close to realistic.

[@catcollision8371]

Even if the camera didn't move, it still looks fake to me.. Maybe because I do art, I spend a lot of time observing / studying light, shadows, textures etc.. I know very well how nature looks like. One of my first 3D programs was called VistaPro, an early 90's landscape rendering application. For amusement, find on the net a rendering made with VistaPro 1.0 and compare it with the rendering of the Unreal Engine.. ☺ By the way, a single 800x600px frame rendering would take over 1 hour to render (on a 486SX33). lol..

[@TheUltimateBlooper]

The motion blur definitely needs work (there's artifacting around the falling rocks, especiallu up close at 5s mark). Yes, I'm a 3D guy.

[@fxzn]

I, too, am 3 dimensional.

[@TilDrill]

The way the camera moves makes it even more realistic

[@-jc8578]

I feel like he used a bit of a fish eye effect because it feels like i am in the scene and not like i am looking at a 2d video (1:23)

[@mattiasrutter]

Tbh, there's something strangely uncanny about this

[@Ryytikki]

its the lack of dust on impact + the rocks not even slightly breaking from those falls that throw me off, its damn close but we need that high fidelity physics simulation to truly cross the boundary into indistinguishable virtual worlds

[@Leispada]

I agree with ya. it does seem like a literal uncanny valley. Might be the FOV as well

[@hunteriv4869]

@@Ryytikki That's just a programming challenge at this point; causing impact dust and shattering the rocks are both possible with Unreal (in fact, UE4 supports this). The Chaos physics engine is great at destructible objects and physics-based particle systems and volumetric clouds. You actually see many examples of this in the official UE5 demos. Granted, this is more work than just enabling gravity and collisions on some rocks and letting them fall. So I'm guessing the creator didn't want to bother while still showing off some of the physics (I've noticed Chaos seems less "bouncy" and "floaty" by default than the old physics engine, but maybe it's just me).

[@VioletPrism]

The part at 1:20 looked so real it actually broke the uncanny valley barrier and just looked like real life video. Woah

[@blackwidow8805]

Wow. Imagine the last of us being made in this engine.

[@Gmon750]

Absolutely incredible. There's a reason why "The Mandalorian" is using this tech in their filming.

[@LocalSlaveHolder]

With a bit of AI polishing, chromatic aberrations, lens distortions, digital noise and improved camera shaking effect this will look indistinguishable from real life.

[@MelhemSfeir]

I actually have both CA and digital noise, but I completely muted them for this video. Just wanted a pure image. AI polishing ?

[@LocalSlaveHolder]

@@MelhemSfeir With AI polishing I meant visual distortions based on real life physics, which can be implemented with AI and machine learning. Like when you zoomed all the way in, I expected heat distortion to show up. Edit: but I’m not sure if it’s possible to run that thing in real time

[@MelhemSfeir]

@@LocalSlaveHolder ah I see … I think they had the heat distortion in the demo file. I should probably check that out
