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.

[@human-ft3wk]

@@SwarumtheForum Hmm.. you're right, perhaps it wouldn't be possible to achieve the same thing before, even with a lot of manual effort. You'd have to make quite a few LOD's for every single model.

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.

[@HavokSage]

@@edgesvideogames5582 yes after all this is just a quickly thrown together demo. but given the attention it's receiving i'm likely to further polish something.

More like 20-30 years for full dive tech, 7-10 years for realistic NPC AI, and as for the graphics they are already at photorealistic levels they just need better performance (hardware) so that they are accessible to everyone (unless we are talking about simulated graphics/worlds at the atomic scale [light, water, wind, physics, etc.] for ultra realism, this will probably need 20+ years).

@@OnigoroshiZero What's ultra realism?

[@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.

[@dream.machine]

This is the future! Welcome to the 2020s, oh my. The graphics look so close to real life, it's insane. The next 20 years should just be working on the fps and resolution and we should have authentic simulators that are life-like!

I was, I am, and I will be thinking... that Voxel rendering is THE FUTURE OF GAMES.

[@eclairesrhapsodos5496]

Yep even RTGI was be based on voxel cone tracing global illumination (VXGI) - it evolves a lot into different forms (Sometimes its just something similar). Damn voxels are everywhere in 3d graphics, I always be exited about new technologies what use voxels, especially sparse voxel octree rendering of geometry (its kinda similar to UE Nanite, but not realy) it feels like point cloud meshes but they are voxels and closer you get more detailed image be (fit same amount of geometry into resolution of a screen [voxel geometry]).....

I think destruction is what next gen truly needs to make it impressive. Also just better AI. But I played and finished Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart and I didn't get why people were so impressed with it. Sure it looked all fancy and shiny but it didn't feel new. 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. It feels like games have been nothing more than interactive movies for over a decade now. Hopefully with UE5 we get more randomness. Anyway thanks for this video.

[@sunskist]

Couldn’t have said your last paragraph any better. We need something like that to really reignite the magic of gaming, at least for me. I’d really like to see games push physics this gen and UE5 looks like a great tool for developers. 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. No Mans Sky gave me a taste of real exploration into the unknown I want to see what these upcoming tools can do to make it one step closer to the game of my dreams

[@TruthIsKey369]

You hit the nail on the head there. If you want innovation and something new coming down the pipeline then take a look at Cloud Imperium Games and their Starcitizen universe. It's in alpha, but the scope is huge and they want to make th3 best AI ever in a game, and ofc seamless universe from planet to space and moving around an actual solarsystem in real time. Other than that I don't see ONE known developer push the envelope and give us better AI, truly bigg worlds and destructible environment. I'm tired of the same old in a different wrapping, and happily someone wants to change that.

[@sunskist]

@@TruthIsKey369 I’ve been following star citizen on and off for the past 10 years lol long before NMS I hope they achieve everything they promised and more. I heard they were in alpha a while ago but I hadn’t tried it out, I did watch a KZbin video on it a few days ago though

[@TruthIsKey369]

@@sunskist patience is key when following any development that is as open as them, and the only developer that is doing it this way. I would recommend trying out the next patch or maybe wait until end of the year, because they are implementing a lot of backend stuff that will make things break more often that not. If you just want to see how things look now and try it for fun, then go right ahead. I myself jump in every patch and take a look and then come back to next patch. I'm a fps gamer and want the Theatres of War part of the game, until they make the PU (Persistent Universe = Starcitizen) good enough without the crashes and lag I'll jump in full time. It is all coming together and it is fun and impressive to follow their development.

[@CausticCaterpillar]

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. Think about taking a super massive game of about 300GB-500GB and being able to reduce that to a fraction of the size. I think if they find a way to do this (and with no downscaling) then we have truly reached Next-Gen.

​@@v-fgamer6941 Dude, no it isn't. Sure it's not high end and wont play new games on ultra going forward, but games will most definitely cater to older cards for years to come. 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.

@@ItsLofty101 Understandable, it can be confusing in the beginning and even when you've been into PC's for a while you have to build a few before you feel like you know what you're doing. In addition, it used to be possible to get a decent gaming rig for about the same price as a console and it would last for as long as the current console generation would. 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. I have personally seen massive benefits in time spent by deploying VR and an RTX3080 for quick rendering of models, but they are not components I would recommend for the average gamer.

[@flameshoter6]

@@legros731 The point Sir Henry is making is, if it appears as 3d and the environment is interactive, you could potentially think of the environment like an alternative reality. Of course the real difference will always be eating and using the bathroom. And with the potential of having to wear headgear in 2050 still. However, it could potentially be 100% identical at some point in time. As per the screen issue, if people are capable of walking into a pane of glass, what is to say someone with a mental disorder may think their environment is reality? Doesn't even have to be a disorder. If interactions could be 100% identical with a virtual person, who is to say that those relationships may not be genuine? Or even replace human interaction in the real world. Just like the Turing Test, how do you know I am not an artificial being replying to your comment? The #1 issue will be replicating real life textures. Such as wood, getting splinters, feeling pain, feeling pleasure, etc. Today's technology can already allow someone to recreate their own house. But the translation from headgear to real life interactions has a delay that is noticeable to people. However, someone could still navigate their re-created home with little to no issue. And interact like it was an ordinary day of their life. The issue would be having to update the formatting to replicate food in your fridge. Tesla cars that contain all those cameras and sensors is a great means to understanding the connection between real life and the virtual world. And the thing with Elon Musk trying to put technology in people's heads. If you could do that, you could potentially interact with the brain to correlate the feeling of textures. Trying to make a physical device to recreate all textures would be near to impossible. But creating a false texture directly to your nerves, is another thing. At that point, any environment, any texture, and any interaction could be replicated. Therefore, it could potentially be impossible to know the difference between real life and a "picture on a screen." If you spent more time in the virtual world than the real world, life could become very blurred. If you lie to your self enough times, plenty of people can blur the truth.

[@flameshoter6]
