[@fleurbird]

the human vision system is so amazing... you can tell something isn't right... but not what. i think it's the ammount and speed of the movement of the leaves

[@Smackindaface]

Too much symmetry

[@childofconvienience]

Actually its the amount of movement. The smaller vegetation the less it would be pushed by the wind. It would a lot better that way.

[@Yggdrasilrune]

I think it's a combination of too much symmetry and "perfection" and the movement of the leaves. They don't look like individuals but clones, and maybe they lack some type of detail or something.

[@GreenleafVision]

@@Yggdrasilrune Take a look at the new gameplay video. These are in-game scenes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpCUnmSHj7uWlZY To give you a better technical understanding of this scenario, I will give you some data. This may not be important for you, but it is certainly interesting for people who work with UE. The entire wind-animated vegetation on this map comprises 1.3 billion triangles. Some individual animated trees have up to 1.5 million triangles, all of which move in a unique level of detail. You won't find any comparable high-poly tree animations in the entire UE Store. In addition, you can adjust the wind strength and animation speed to suit your needs. I have been working on it for the last 5 years to get this result. The trunk can be replaced in the future with a photogrammetry trunk with a mouse click...that's no problem. I am currently investing all my time in improving performance and trying to save GPU memory.

[@kaystephan2610]

I'd say the movement of the grass is way too much and the physics of the trees is not quite right. I'm not shitting on the video BTW or the stuff that's shown in it. I'm just explaining. And also 100% real physics - at least as of now - aren't really possible in games.

[@Fergus-H-MacLeod]

Trying to make leaves move realistically in the wind seems ridiculously complicated lol. This is pretty awesome visuals. Love it

[@flagmot]

Fantastic view. looking forward to spring, autumn, and winter snow, Frost on branches, and raindrops on the tip of the leaves dripping in a natural chaotic order...

Beautiful work! Hopefully this package will be updated with more tree types and with lower poly assets optimized for mid-range PC video game usage as well, not only virtual production. The wind looks amazing!

[@TheRedmondGamer]

This is very impressive. Some feedback. The wind modelling needs some work. Wind moves in waves, and would look more natural if you could visually see the wind's wave patterns and fluctuations flowing across the leaves. The "still" version at 1:00 is incredible. But the motion version appears a bit too strong (still better than anything I've seen to date). A 5 mph breeze would appear very subtle (more like a rustle -- 2:47 and 4:45 were the closest to this, but still inorganic due to the lack of accurate wind modeling). Most of what we see is akin to a constant 10-20 mph breeze, which doesn't come across as normal due to the uniformity of the wind application. I believe some basic wind modelling would significantly enhance the overall perception of realism for this. Keep up the great work. Cheers!

[@GreenleafVision]

Thank you very much for your detailed feedback. I am very pleased about that!

В начале видео, ультрареалистичность сразу сломана, так как трава движется по паттерну, а не от физики ветра. Есть подозрение, что и всё остальное работает так же. Вот если бы объекты реагировали на внешнюю среду, то тогда можно было бы сравнивать с вышеупомянутым глаголом.

The surface of trees and roads is still flat. It would be more plastic. Movement branches and leaves, shadows and lights are very realistic.

[@GreenleafVision]

Thank you for your feedback :-)

[@ilaripori6148]

The leaves have weird shading issues with shadows, the shadows are way too dark and rough for a material with high subsurface scattering. Use the feature.

[@GreenleafVision]

This effect was achieved by using the 'Auto Exposure Basic' function. If you set this to manual, these strange effects no longer occur...

[@ManiakSly]

It looks absolutely gorgeous. But why is the foliage so unnatural? Is it possible to record a video of real foliage behavior? Or do something like what they do with actors in scenes in games

I noticed in your video grass blades all moving in different directions blade by blade and as we know that doesnt happen. Gusts typically will come along like waves propagating through the grass like small water waves etc. Possible to make the grass act more like this when the gusts blow? Just curious kzbin.info/www/bejne/baaup5eAbaZsotk

[@GreenleafVision]

Hello. You are absolutely right about the movement of the grass. So far I have focused more on the wind movements of the trees. To make the grass movements look even more realistic, they should all move in the same direction. Like in your video example :-)

[@jasons2562]

Its all good, I was just curious !@@GreenleafVision

I would like to try this out myself with VR. I haven't had the opportunity to try it out yet. But you'd need at least one or two 4090s or even a graphics card that doesn't exist yet ;-)

[@goog-family]

I saw exactly the same detailed animation of trees back in 3D Mark 2001 SE in 2001. Each leaf was moving. It's been 23 years. And it is still considered an achievement. Damn, it took us 23 years to get this. And you tell me technology is developing fast? The turtle is crawling faster, guys. It's very annoying. People thought in those years that we would already be living in virtual reality. Indistinguishable from reality itself. And all we have now is a couple of decent VR games on lame helmets, where the picture is pixelated again and suffers from all sorts of glitches. And again, are you saying that this is progress? And I will answer again that the damn turtle will still crawl to the water faster!

[@GreenleafVision]

Your comment made me take another look at the good old 3DMark demo. I was also amazed at the 3DMark demos back then. I was always very happy when a new one was released. However, you should take a closer look at it from today's perspective. The leaves of the trees in the 3DMark demo alone consist only of simple 3D surfaces that move back and forth in a very simple way. I estimate that these trees do not comprise much more than 3K triangles. The wind trees from my latest asset have up to 1 million and more triangles. So about 330 times as many triangles more...or something like that :-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaqQmGp6a6-ZjpY

[@GreenleafVision]

@@fabioalexandre3536 Sorry for the late reply. It always depends on what exactly you want to do. For example, if you want to work with the wind animations shown in this video, a 4060 Ti (16GB) or a 4070 Ti (16GB) would be the absolute minimum! Such complex wind animations in combination with meshes with millions of triangles and the use of Nanite + WPO + VSMs requires enormous GPU power. If you want to have enough GPU memory for this scenario, then I would actually recommend a 4090. If the wind is not important to you, then you are sufficiently equipped with the above mentioned.

I'd say we're still 15-25 years away from anything looking even remotely realistic. Don't get me wrong, I do love the effort put in to this. But if I'm out on a bright day looking at trees the shadows would be perceived as much darker. Dark as in black. Especially with the sun in my eyes. It's not even in the same ball park in this demo. As for the motion of the trees and grass there's obvious looping in the motion at least on the grass, so what's that about? This demo is ultra realistic when compared to Super Mario bros on NES, yes. But compared to real life. Decades away. But again, it's cool to see the development of the techniques.

It was also the grass that was getting me. The grass blades were moving around as if alive and far too drastic and unnatural. But these are just observations, not to deter the author from continuing to perfect it and get closer to realistic movement.

No offense but for the price of just this one pack I could buy the Forester plugin and generate any number of tree species, all with more realstic wind, down to the individual leaves...

[@pharos5414]

The Forester plugin is for C4D. Although there is an export function for UE, this software is not specialized in this. There are also no example videos with UE. There are countless software programs outside of UE. But real time is always something completely different...

[@JoshuaLundquist]

​ @pharos5414 you can just bake as alembic and import it, or animate them with vertex animation, and C4D imports to UE using Datasmith, which is a plugin already activated in UE 5.3. And it would be real time, as everything is in Unreal. Real time just refers to the rendering.

[@pharos5414]

@@JoshuaLundquist With several animated wind trees with a high polygon count of 1 million and more, you would then have a single alembic file that is about 40-50 GB in size. If you then calculate the whole thing for several trees, you would end up with several hundred GB. Is there enough memory and RAM for this? You can also only use materials in alembic files in UE to a very limited extent. Since Nanite is also not possible, Virtual Shadow Maps will not work. You also cannot influence the wind animations in UE (wind strength etc.). In any case, you cannot create an entire forest with it and real-time with such gigantic animations (alembic) are generally not possible. Set 3 massiv alembic trees in your scene and the FPS is in the red zone. And if by vertex animations you are thinking of 'pivot painter'...you can't create animations like this with it. So I don't think it will work.
