I'm wondering how much effort that tool is to use for the developer. Is there a bunch of tailoring and preprocessing that needs to be done on assets make them work with the system as seen?

[@jendabekCZ]

@@sidekickstreams Sure there is a lot of work of preparing the assets to behave like that. Like always everything is prepared and optimized just to make a demo impressive, but things get much more tricky in real projects.

[@StrikeNoir105E]

@@sidekickstreams Sure the base assets need work, but once you have those assets down you can then let your procedural system do the majority of the work for you. In the past, in order to make an environment this detailed you'd need to make and put each and every minor asset by hand, which would be quite tedious especially if you need to reiterate. Now you can make the base asset library, procedurally generate the environment, then just clean up the environment for final polishing. This also means you can even reuse the same assets in another work and let the procedural generation randomize the output in a way that allows you to make completely different environments even though you're working off the same asset library.

[@marlonapowellful]

You know it's next level when you see the Rivian front tire get's contorted by the rock beneath it giving the impression of the vehicle's weight and the hardness of the rock applying pressure to deform the tire. Usually vehicle tires in games seems to be a solid object. Some unreal gfx

Im guessing you havent played spintires

[@marlonapowellful]

@@lawray8368 No I've never played Spintires but from the gameplay videos I've seen, it appears it was not until 2020: snowrunner that they implemented tire distortion and it doesn't seems to be as impressive as the Unreal Engine 5.2 demo implementation.

Props for the software engineers who actually built this, tremendous piece of art! congratulation Devs!

[@AL_EVOz]

This is insane. Wonder what kind of RIG would you need to run this at 60fps. FFVIIR 2 using UE engine 5 is going to be crazy looking if this is what it can offer.

[@shadowproductions969]

depends on resolution.. at 4k I'd say a 4070 or better if optimized for gaming at this detail. This demo was ran on a 4090

[@ojsojs6004]

There is still a long road ahead. Much has to be done to make the environment at games more reactive and interactive. At games, your interaction in a fight is against your enemy where the surroundings like the land, trees, mountains, fallen objects, etc around you are not affecting how you fight your opponent. It's understandable why this is the case as more processing power is needed.

[@silvaramajere]

He literally said at the end this demo was run on an Intel 13900 and an RTX 4090

[@FameKillz]

prolly just a ps5 lolol since u said 60 fps. no need for a 3,000$ PC

[@PedroS-ig1wr]

A ps5 for 60fps and a 3000€ PC for 60fps full of stutters as usual on recent PC ports

[@ZykopathOfficial]

This is REVOLUTIONARY! Hope this tech becomes mainstream in games soon!

[@JamesPound]

They're underselling the amount of work it takes to set up those procedural elements. They have everything ready to go in the this demo, but someone had to painstakingly create all the elements to be used in that system before designers would be able to throw them around like this. It's basically a new tech pipeline that devs would have to learn in depth to take advantage of. I'm sure it will be used, but it's not by any means an easy thing.

[@ZykopathOfficial]

@@JamesPound I'm sure this is basic knowledge to devs, they would end up creating assets in both cases anyway, this tool would help them create variations, place them in the environment and save tons of valuable time.

[@MattNCSC]

​@James P. I'm sure you are right and no doubt allot of work has to be done to set up the various parameters for it to work, but it still could be an amazingly useful tool in speeding up the development process in the long run. I'm sure that developers would find ways to efficiently streamline the process and adapt elements to be reused where it's appropriate.

[@sknfdskfm]

​@@JamesPound As has always been the case, the art assets need to be created. But with this tech the implementation time, use cases, and scalability would dramatically improve.

[@zwit666]

@@Azhureus right, but here you've had 13900K intel CPU and 4090 RTX GPU, which for end-user standards is pretty much overkill. we didn't see any scripts, quest logic, actors, AI, cinematic camera triggers etc, so even though it's impressing, it's basically just a level running in the editor with all the technologies like nanite and world partitioning, which make it run even smoother. cooked version and PIE version are not the same, even though supported by the same factors. It's doable to create a game this impressive, but it will be closer to a walking simulator for the selected few that have the best hardware possible which contrasts the commercial success
