Unreal Engine 5.3 - MAWI - NextGen Amazing Realtime Forest Released kzbin.info/www/bejne/aH7Tamltrtt3adk

[@jamesgtmoore]

Hopefully by 2034 everyones graphics card will be powerful enough to run this at 60fps.

[@DanianDL]

what is this running on? isnt this unreal engine so its running live?

[@jamesgtmoore]

@@DanianDLProbably a 4090. I think he always uses the best card.

[@Jack_JRR]

a basic single player project would get high 90s for most modern settings but if you start taking in account multiplayer or any complex components it will go down. All his videos show are megascans assets with sounds. also key thing to note is he has wind disabled, if you recreate this with wind you won't get over 40 due to the current shader complexity problem with wind. I have landscape roughly 64 square kilometers filled with trees and foliage at 120fps no problem but once I enable wind and get close to the trees it will drop from 80(wind enabled) to 40.

[@jamesgtmoore]

@@Jack_JRR This is what I suspected. UE5 has great realism tech but its not commercially viable to use it yet when the average person has a GTX1650 or equivalent. Maybe in 10 years the average card will be an RTX 4090. e.g. 1080TI in 2017 was 700USD and now its $150 on ebay. a 4090 is 2000USD and in 10 years would be an affordable 500USD.

[@Jack_JRR]

@@jamesgtmoore I never said 4090? You are telling me it’s not commercially viable when it’s been used all over, name me one industry it’s not been used in. shit that’s the whole point why nanite is a thing to lower the cost of high poly models and quantity

[@HighGroundoverAnnie]

Absolutely fantastic! But the video will be even more realistic once you get rid of the omnipresent squeaking sound ^^

[@MAXIUMIX]

Też tak pomyślałem 👍

[@SobelTomas]

yeah the sound is ruining it very much, it squeaks more than pirate sailboat 🤣

[@ddvffcescfe2368]

Ehm.. did you ever go to actual forrest? The squeaking noises are there, old trees moving in the wind make it, lol.

[@Fifa874]

​​@@ddvffcescfe2368but you can't hear it everywhere like it's behind you lol

[@SobelTomas]

@@ddvffcescfe2368 I live by the forrest. And I am sound designer so I am little bit more focused on those sounds. There is too much sqeaks compared to amount of the trees. At least with this „europeak style“ looking forrest.

[@cailenced]

This in VR could possibly be like therapy. Imagine you live in a huge city and the next forest is an hour away. Escape the real world, embrance artifical forests. Not the same but i believe this could literally help some mentally exhausted people.

[@b.s.7693]

You actually can with the UEVR mod. You need only an executeable export of this demo. BUT you need a really beefy machine to run this in native stereo vision at lets say 90 fps.

[@SobelTomas]

And spiral into depression and live only in that virtual space, because the moment you put it down, anxiety kick in. Until the next day when... (I am big fan but i think this would be too strong for some people, interesting times)

[@joebenzz]

For some reason seeing this gives me horror vibes. Horror games are at their best when in super realistic environements like they both fit. It's like there is nothing more scary than reality itself.

[@Existidor.Serial137]

[@Mermedon24]

Очень похож на лес где мы с родителями собирали грибы. Примерно так лес выглядит в заболоченных местах.

[@djeanhall8311]

We need an online survival game on this map kinda like dayz :)

[@simonmalmo7008]

Looks incredible as always! I was a bit put of by the creaking branch sound that never changed position but felt like it was hovering behind my head all the time and it makes me kind of freeze like some people don't like nails on a chalk board. Something missing from most forests in games are man made trails, I think they would make the engine feel even more alive. Looking forward to your future projects!

[@Waaben21]

Totally agree, sounds and audio need to be bound to locations. Im also wondering if a map like this can run with a real wind and cloud simulator that would ultimately be why trees and other assets would sway.

[@OurLifeisaMiracle]

perfect comment, 100% agree ,espacially about that sound

[@machega462]

Через лет 20 я буду на это смотреть и вспоминать, как что то подобное - казалось непостижимым. Но думаю к тому времени, нас это удивить уже не сможет, ведь станет обыденностью в игровой индустрии)

[@StarCat_and_Girls]

Через лет 50 когда я помру, то оценю всю графику игры life)

[@AhnxRU]

Не станет. Закон Мура больше не работает. А президент Nvidia уже года три как сказал, что производительность видеокарт расти больше не будет. И второй момент. Чем круче графика, тем больше затраты. Топовые игры уже обходятся дороже, чем навороченный блокбастер. Ту же RDR2 делали 8,5 лет и потратили сотни миллионов долларов. У многих найдётся столько денег и времени?

[@AndreyZhDron]

​ @AhnxRU Станет, помню как в далеком 2006 годом восхищался супер-реалистичной графикой и физикой Oblivion, а теперь это выглядит довольно уныло. Потому что технологии в этом плане ушли далеко вперед и продолжают развиваться. Чо видеокарты, лол? С каждой новой серией ставятся мощнее предыдущей, а то что гей-сосноли тормозят гейм индустрию, это уже давно известно. "Чем круче графика, тем больше затраты", да, но нет. Не совсем. Красивую картинку по большей части дает движок и эффекты, а не ультра hd текстуры и модели (Да можно накатить,. например на Скайрим, 8k текстуры, hi poly модели. да будет вроде круто, но все равно видно, что можно намного лучше на более современном движке при более простых текстурах и моделях). И большая часть бюджета уходит сейчас далеко не на графику. Вот как видим супер-реалистичную картинку и техно-демку сейчас даже студент при желании запилить сможет, но это далеко не будет игрой ААА-уровня. "Топовые игры уже обходятся дороже, чем навороченный блокбастер" И? Как видим как раз на такие высеры у крупных студий и находятся деньги, вот они и продолжают клепать всякий конвейерный шлак типо отсосинов и прочего графонистого дерьма.

[@AhnxRU]

@@AndreyZhDron лет-то тебе сколько? Перечитай ещё разок то, что я написал и подумай.

[@AhnxRU]

@@AndreyZhDron Подумай, почему раньше ААА-игры выходили раз в год, а теперь их делают 5 лет и больше (RDR2 делали 8,5 лет). И почему раньше топовая игра стоила $10 млн, а сегодня $500 млн и больше.

[@msbull100]

This the best forrest scene i ever seen. So many details, greate work! 👍

[@MarlonDeanMusicChannel]

I'm currently replaying Kingdom Come Deliverance and it still looks beautiful, but I 'd really like it's sequel to look like this! This is just amazing!

[@Halindrix399]

The amount of detail is just insane it feels like you could feel every pixel like its real, we have reached an insane age of hardware acceleration.

[@benflightart]

Every time you guys release a new environment you always manage to take it up a notch. God damn. This. This is the new industry standard of environment design right here.

[@josiahmos5880]

Looks amazing. Just not sure why there is so much squeaking sounds in the background.

[@bitterpaul6151]

The trees are creaking as the wind moves them about.

[@dr_j0nes]

Thought the same

[@jeroeng1025]

I think we're all aware what the origin of the sound is, but the amount of times it occurs in this video is a bit unnatural. Walk in a pine forest and you will not hear this MUCH of it. Minor detail in the grand scheme of this video but it also immediately stood out to me.@@bitterpaul6151

[@lukewarmape603]

@@bitterpaul6151 Its really nitpicking but forests just don't sound like that. The sound of leaves/branches in the wind would overwhelm the creaking. It's also not windy enough in the video to sell the idea, its perfect otherwise imo

[@derpderpin1568]

@@lukewarmape603 umm yes they absolutely can sound like that. been in them many times myself. kzbin.info3DeBWxuQERo. you don't even need visible wind for trees to creak loudly. you're just wrong.

[@Morenob1]

This should be a game called Don't let your guard down, where you need to escape from apparitions like shadow figures and stealth entities. Or use drug substances you find in the woods to perceive them.

[@goiviredmi9]

Imagine this WITH vr

[@dannymiester5825]

This makes it clearer to me that we are already in a simulation

[@Midrule]

Looks great! Audio wise i think its a little too obvious that it's just a static recording of ambience in the background. Moving around and turning doesn't sound any different, especially when louder sounds play.

[@PseudoPolish]

Just imagine a Slender game in such hyperrealistic super dense Forest location, where not a single branch is completely similar to one another. Where you're always seeing eerie things because of crazy amount of details. It's just like a dream Horror game!

[@andrewshyshko5849]

Those footstep sounds with the snapping twigs and crunching really sounds nice

[@LordOfSweden]

That's crazy. Looks exactly like some forest parts here in Sweden. Can't almost tell it's graphics, except for the lag and the grasshopper sound

[@michelthater4361]

Wow! The visuals are stunning and so close to the real world! VERY well done! I love how the sound of the footsteps changes depending on the ground. It's cool that you added the sqeaking sound but you overdid with that. It's just when one tree, usually a dead one, is leaning against another one and then wind comes into play. At least I didn't experience that many trees producing squeaking sounds when I walked around in forests. But, again, so well done otherwise!

[@JustinJetZorbas]

Looks amazing! The audio could use improvement, especially the squeaking sounds are a bit too much, and they overall footsteps could be higher quality and have more depth to each step. Awesome work none the less :)

[@aarven06]

super cool stuff...unimaginably realistic, only thing that fuck this realism is the artificial wobbling of the character

[@quantumimagesQC]

We're getting so close to photorealism! In just a few years, we'll be able to get this quality in VR and "experiential" and "walking and discovery" types of games will explode!

[@moosescorner]

[@apanamakamu]

Nevermind the graphics, i'm digging the walking motion/physics.

[@Chel-Mash-Zavod]

I hunt in places like this and I can note that both the picture and the sounds and the sound of footsteps are made very naturalistically. There are quibbles that not all grass makes noise as it happens in nature. That the sound of broken branches is different. But I want to believe in such a picture. I would also like to add smoothness when changing the viewing angle. Yes, there may be a rocking of the camera when walking. Guys, thanks for the great engine. I appreciate you with Return to Na Pali.

Grew up with 20 acres of woodland behind the house with a creek. Out of the entire property, one tree consistently squeaked like you hear in the video, it was halfway fallen across the creek and leaning against another tree. Didn't take much wind for the trees to rub together to make it produce some crazy sounds. Never been in a forest where every other free standing tree was a squeaker. I think there's also supposed to be some audio of -sticks and seeds hitting the ground, but it just sounds like a crackling camp fire.- Watched rest of video... the remains of a forest fire shouldn't be so audible from so far away. Audio design for this preview probably could have used a second pass.
