Unreal Engine 5 - Destructible Vehicles (Matrix Awakens Demo)

[@MrDmadness]

I think I love ue5... this stuff for free is amazing, it's literally years of programming refinement for a large team being offered free.. unreal indeed . Love it.

[@shaheenal-asadi]

Epic Games is so generous for offering all the Matrix assets and logic flows for users free of charge, amazing really - really thankful to have them in the industry

[@thecon_quererarbitraryname6286]

Absolutely i have struggled with vehicle panel physics in ue5 before. This really is a godsend since it is the prime example of how you should implement such things. I really love them for that.

[@CaptMorpheusZ]

It is free I guess, but its all market strategy. More people releasing games on UE5 = more money. Not saying its not nice but they are not doing it because they are so nice, they want more people making games in UE5 so they make more money.

[@AdventGamesOfficial]

@@CaptMorpheusZ There are other ways to make money, more agressive strats to users, but epic chooses long term soft investements versus short term agressive investement. Thats what is rare to see in big companies, especially in gaming. This is where epic deserves praise, for being pacient and going the route that benefits all instead of only them.

[@ArtofZenDigital]

@@CaptMorpheusZ To put this into perspective, Epic doesn’t charge you a dime until you make 1 million dollars. Many indie games don’t come close to that. They give you a ton of free assets and access to tools to speed up nearly any game you want to make. And when you make that 1 million, they only take 5% per million you make. There’s not one company that offers that, which is why companies that used to create engines, like CryTek aren’t able to sell their engines. It cost a small fortune to make engines. For reference, it cost Konami well over 150 million to develop the Fox engine for Metal Gear Solid 5 under Kojima’s leadership. Metal Gear Solid 5, which includes Ground Zeros, cost well over 100 million to make. By the time Konami broke down the costs of everything that had to go to research and development, which isn’t factored in to that number at all, then the packaging and digital and traditional distribution, then you have Sony, which charges 30% per game sold digitally, and it’s reportedly higher for retail copies. Microsoft charges 30% for retail and digital. Steam used to be lower, but now they too take 30%. That’s just to sell your game on their system, or storefront. If you still think Epic isn’t generous, think of what Sony would charge if they had an engine anyone cared to use. Sony, Steam and Microsoft charges that 30% per game sold. Epic charges 5% per million dollars you make, and they give you the most valuable asset ever made, time. The time it would take to add proper lighting. In the case of Konami, they barely broke even, despite selling millions of copies of Metal Gear Solid 5. This is why they fired Kojima. The person who took his place made a mobile Metal Gear Solid Pinball style game filled with micro transactions, it made more in 2 months than Konami made selling Metal Gear Solid 5 for over a year. This is why so many studios fall apart, the costs of triple A game development is insanely high. It’s also why they litter games with DLC, to recoup costs. Epic is the only company that offers a solution to developers to cut design time to less than half, and their tech is unbelievably good. Next gen consoles use AmD GPUs that are terrible at raytracing. This is why they had to develop hardware and software lumen. Look at Gran Turismo, no raytracing in game, raytracing in photo mode and in replays is 1080i res, or 540p, and it’s at 30fps. The Medium on the X-Box series X drops to 900p when there are too many objects on screen that have single pass, low pc level precision raytracing, and only on limited numbers of objects. The next gen patch on Cyberpunk on PS5 and Series X only adds low level raytracing on vehicles. The shadows aren’t raytraced. Spider-man, another Sony title, where much like the exclusive Medium on Xbox Series X, and Sony’s Gran Turismo 7, has access to all of the internal company tech at their disposal, only has raytraced puddles. This is embarrassing. Epic made Sony and Microsoft look good with the Matrix demo. Side note, I data mined the PS5 demo. The parts where you move through the actual city are 1080p 30. The intro is not quite 2k res, and the sequence with Morpheus in the TV screen is actually a video file. When Neo looks at himself in the mirror, for roughly 5 seconds, that’s also a video file. It’s telling because the on rails section that’s next has far less realistic faces and facial muscle detail. The models there are comprised of less than half of the amount used in the unplayable demo intro sequence. Regardless, what Epic has done with the limited resources of the next gen systems is impressive. It’s better than what the companies that made them could do. Lastly, if you still think they’re not generous, they only take 12% per game sold by game publishers in the Epic Store. That’s completely unheard of in this day and age. If you’re an indie dev, you sell a game that somehow makes $900,000. You get to keep 88% of each game sold, despite most likely using Epic’s lighting engine, 3D models, and other assets. They even have a free FPS template you can use, provided you change the models and stages. The AI programming is included for the low price of free.

[@therihix]

Quick Question: Are we allowed to use the assets and BP from these demos, commercially?

[@jayshambhuraje5967]

Can I use these vehicles in my project (KZbin Video)?

[@VengefulGamer-e3n]

downloaded this but no playable demo disappointing but great to see this though

[@iamdanyc93]

Car collisions sound like banging aluminum cans 😂

[@cynobihanzo2678]

howd you get the character in there the one i downloaded does not come with

[@NuttedFX]

please help it won't start unreal engine 5

[@vihaandeo1971]

How to get these thing?

[@jamesonvparker]

The vehicles are free, yes, but they do not include the destructible features at all. Has anyone figured out how to use the destructible videos in their own project?

[@speedwaylabsdev]

Would be cool to see how you swap in a new car mesh into this system. I wonder how difficult that would be.

[@NeoAxisRTS]

Looking exactly for same answer, afraid it will be like in BeamNG Drive, mesh for car + bone+nodes structure :) Will be awesome if someone will make tutorial of it :)

[@MrDmadness]

It works. Start by just making a cube and circle car, and mess around with bones.. looking at how they structure it give a LOT of insight into how to create such objects.. im not a pro at all, but this ... this saves thousands of hours of coding

[@marcapouli7805]

It probably requires 10 or 20 artists that work for a year, which would cost only 50 million dollars, we all have 50 million dollars to make a game, it is the base when you make a little game

[@GAMEBR0VIP2462]

probably have to export every skeleton the vehicle uses if theres anymore than one and transfer weights. some tweaks here and there then reimport on to the existing skeleton. .

[@marcapouli7805]

The vehicle pack alone only provides drivable vehicles. No sound, no lights, and more important, no destruction. Have to download the whole 94 gb project, hoping this one has destruction already implemented, and hoping I can even open the project without crashing my computer

[@thebigjoe1123]

the vehicle pack dosent come with deformation

[@jakecarvey]

You have to download the full CIty demo, and then load the VehicleTest map in that project. Maybe someone can pack it all up and make it separate

[@jamesonvparker]

Has anyone figured out how to export these vehicles into a new project with physics destruction included? Seems impossible.

[@DatGuyGLK]

I wonder how possible would it be to replace vehicles with your custom models and keep the physics aspect intact

[@SmartPoly]

you would have to rig the vehicle mesh with the extra destruction bones. I think they might have some sort of master control rig that all of the skeletal meshes use

[@fugedaboudit]

@@SmartPoly No one seems to have made a video about this in the whole internet. If you could make a tutorial would be wonderful.

[@jamesonvparker]

@@fugedaboudit There's a video. It's made by Unreal Engine and they explain the Vehicles in teh Matrix demo. Its called "The Matrix Awakens: Creating the Vehicles and VFX | Tech Talk"

[@fugedaboudit]

@@jamesonvparker Hey thanks for your answer, I've seen that video actually but it doesn't explain on how to add new car models to the system, that's what I meant.

[@jamesonvparker]

@@fugedaboudit You're right, it's not the most helpful in terms of recreating it. I wonder though, have you tried exporting these videos from the City Sample project?

[@MrLarsalexander]

You can customize the destruction to even bend the chassis of the car, and do more damage. Looks like you just have to increase the max distance the contact points can move when colliding And the tire destruction can be added also on all these vehicles :) Awesome pack!

[@thenoobdev]

Do I need to download the whole matrix demo for all these features, or are they included inside the vehicle pack only too?

[@MrLarsalexander]

@@thenoobdev Destruction is not added in the vehicle sample pack from what i have seen. Looks like you would need the whole demo yes.

[@thenoobdev]

@@MrLarsalexander thanks. Wanted to ask before going for that 100 GB download again 😂 thanks mate

[@MrLarsalexander]

@@thenoobdev Your welcome :) You can delete all the large assets if you want.

[@officialjmweh120m3]

@@thenoobdev did you try?

[@DougieBoy]

Epic should try to acquire the stuff from BeamNG Drive and incorporate that into UE5. That would be AMAZING!

[@ThunderOfficialPage]

Yeah you right. BeamNG.drive has got realistic deformation, better than other games simulation, very very better. Maybe Epic Games, should take a look to their cars. Who knows maybe one day they can made a collaboration and share vehicles with Epic.

[@DemolitionRepublic]

Totally a different story. BeamNG is using soft body deformation. All happening in a modified version of Torque 3D engine which I think is obsolete. I have done a lot of development in BeamNG. Not a very practical working environment. I appreciate how the BeamNG team is keeping the game relevant and updated these days. It's really tough!

[@davidfaisca3967]

Then the creators of Burnout, they did this since 2001

[@JuanGomez-t2i]

2024 changed the project and the destruction doesn't work, do you have the video project to share? 🙏

[@nomadic626]

Dude would've helped if you had mentioned that this project file is from the whole city map not the link you posted, I wasted so much time trying to find the destructible assets, jeez!

[@TXNNGVGX]

Author. Please record a video of how to create a scene like yours. I downloaded city sample vehicles, but the cr_vehicle asset is empty, and the skeletalmesh is also empty.🙏🙏

[@JDMcarXcar]

[@Phoenix_VR]

Awesommmmmmmme, I have a fighterjet that I am dreaming about using control rig for, but I've never seen a single tutorial on how to use Control Rig for vehicles.

[@RobinDale50]

Would there be any way to use this system to pre-destroy the cars and then make a basic static mesh from that? So you could have some static damaged vehicles laying around that dont need the interaction.

[@SmartPoly]

you could modify the pose of the skeletal mesh and click bake to static mesh

[@RobinDale50]

@@SmartPoly Can that be done from the rig like you are showing on the cop car at 9:00 ? When I do it from the skeleton itself, I can move small parts but the crumple looks much better, and is better connected to the other parts, in the rig you are demoing here. And how would I change the vehicle mesh in Rig to get the cop car or another car? By default, its the van.

[@Danny.......]

HOw can we add new vehicles @smart poly? or import vehicles

[@raphaelsobral2152]

I downloaded the package and installed in a new blank project with the required plugins, but i'm unable to damage the cars. How to set this up?

[@raphaelsobral2152]

For those with the same problem, I found somewhere saying that you need to download de Full project. And you can't separate the cars and delete the city. It won't work.

[@Jabbathefrukt]

For everyones information: The link in the description that goes to the City Sample Vehicles doesn't feature any car destruction. To get the actual car destruction and the same demo map as in the video, download the actual City Sample (100GB). In there there is a vehicle playground map that is the same one as in the video.

[@JuanGomez-t2i]

Do you happen to have the project already separated?

Download Unreal Engine 5 from Epic Games launcher. After downloaded UE5, create some empty unreal project. Add City Sample Vehicles (from Unreal Marketplace) to empty project. Enjoy :)

[@thecon_quererarbitraryname6286]

Do as Daniel Rolnik said and keep in mind that you need the enhanced input plugin and have to set it as default in your project settings. I think you have to enable virtual textures too. docs.unrealengine.com/5.0/en-US/input/
