My brain cannot get over that this is all rendered in REAL TIME like that’s insane
To be fair, they're also using a powerful rig. Now, if all of that were optimized to run on low end hardware, I'd be surprised.
Try to do Nurbs Models in Real Time, Ray Tracing them in game !
They are using an AI nothing fancy tbh
We grew up in the world where such things took ages to generate, so we expect it, and we are stunned when confronted with cutting edge tech.
With an extremely powerful rig.
damn the way that procedural stuff works with the existing environment is pretty crazy
It’s like magic
Its what houdini does since 20 years but yeah its great to have These inbuild into the Engine
But you would have to create the procedural "package" first.
@@JohnJohn-pm9wq yes we will see it. The bigger question is whether the game will be fun or just a pc wallpaper slideshow.
@@niveshnayan6648 look up geometry nodes in blender. Highly inspired off of that :P
That procedural thing when he moves the formation and how the formation fits to wherever you place it is incredible
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?
@@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.
@@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.
Simply phenomenal. Imagine going back in time and showing this video to the gaming communities of the 1990's, just seeing their priceless reactions would be amazing.
They would think it's magic. If you show a caveman technology he would think it's magic. And if you show a modern man magic he would think it's technology.
So you have lots of cool games that are fun to play right...right?
@@EvilSchmidt …
The Running Man
My reaction is priceless and I’m living right here in 2023.
how the enviroment responds to real time editing, adapting the scene to the movements made by the artist, it's an INSANE step up.
...Can make all the UE5 jungles same in the games 😂
Dungen Architect 2.0
imagine a roguelike in this
You will need a nuclear computer anyway xD
It shows how human art and AI art can walk side by side, one implements the other.
We will never see a peak of Graphical improvement. Just when you thought it can't better than what we have now, they bring out even better improvements
We are almost at the level of true photo realism, that will be the peak.
We're already well beyond the point of diminishing returns, where the visual gains aren't noticeable enough to justify the increased performance cost to render them.
We wont be able to tell the difference between real life and virtual at some point
@@alondite215 exactly, thats why engines like the source engine stand the test of time. Decent looking world building for its period, but great performance
Hahaha
Shout out to anyone involved in making this stuff possible. Just everyone throughout game making history. It’s honestly unbelievably insane.
they wont read your comment. no need for shout outs
@@Nicolewhite743 Put yourself in the bin and put the lid on your head.
shoutout to me pussyboy@@Nicolewhite743 don't even know how to spell shoutout
What caught my eye was the procedural generated area. Especially with the way it interacts with the area already there and how moving it changes where and what is added/removed to fit in.
I'm in awe at how photorealistic the environment looks like. You can even see small insects flying around. Unreal!
engine
@@luciferpierce4420 5.2
Unreal Engine 5.2
Now the downside of UE5 is needing characters and character animations with the same level of fidelity, otherwise you get pulled out of the world. 95% of the studios that make games don't provide that, but would use this tooling for their world building. We need game devs who also want to push the bar on their npcs so that they also feel like they are of this quality.
@@jynxycats How about a game where you can do your own world building. Be your own James Cameron
Tech demo’s are always impressive and different from actual games, but man, this one was on another level
Well the point of the demo is showing what it’s capable of. Now telling the spec of the pc they are doing this on
@@TheGnarlyGnome89 They literally say the specs of the system at the end of the video. 13900K, 4090.
@@TheGnarlyGnome89 true. But we, the public, (either knowingly or subconsciously) expect all the games to look exactly like this right after watching the demo 😁. Guilty as charged.
Maybe because demo were made specially for one specific strong device and push it into an absolute limit.
While an actual game were made for tons of different device and reach as much more audience as possible soo they need to optimize it and not pising their device to the absolute limit
"Another level" ... pun intended? :)
Really impressive how virtual graphics has evolved so quickly, seems like the technology that would’ve been later for centuries
0:45 - Notice how the car raises to prepare for offroad driving :D
you have never drove down a hill in RL, that was exactly how a vehicle would have behaved.
This is actually unreal how far this tech has gotten
No wonder it is called unreal engine
definitely lives up to its name
Hence the name
Bdm tsss
Better: "It is Unreal, how far this tech has gotten!"
The fact that the wheel got wet and catched the dirt and stone marks over dry land as a result is a mind blowing level of detail.
fyi, that's old tech, snowrunner uses the same tech.
@@evolicious always that one person
@@H3llfire320 Because (insert supposedly mind-blowing thing here) is usually not mind-blowing or new at all. Nanite's performance (although there is no way any normal consumer computer could run this) and the AI generated landscapes are the most impressive things about this.
Bro war thunder does that on a shitty 2011 engine
@@theslavicsailor6654 a cheap workaround of it yes
This is breathtaking, Cannot wait to put this to the test and see other artist create such surreal environments for animations and games alike!
So proud to have been a fan and customer since their first projects back in the 90's, and to see how far they've come is just so Unreal ;)
If Unreal & Unreal Tournament were remastered, i’d be in 💯
Unfortunately, they shelved that for Fortnite. So sad.
Tech demos are always pretty. What's impressive is when games look and run well.
Yeah there were a few instances of it looking like program was straining to keep it together
And also what can we actually do in those environments.
Because there's no point in having ultra 16k graphics stages if I'm playing a game that's almost only cutscenes instead of actual world exploration, for example.
@@isveryniceyes not just "few" and that's running on a 13900K and RTX 4090 🤣
@@johnmaco Cutscenes have nothing to do with world exploration. Cutscenes activate through story progression, not through random exploration
Games need an engine to do that which would be this
That procedural generation, and the reaveal of the amount of the map that was handbuilt was insane.
the rock everywhere looks kinda weird
@@ni9274 Lol there’s always one
@@MrDwightSchrute he's right though. It's impressive for sure, but not a replacement for hand built.
@@Kaboomnz Obviously. They literally even say that it’s not a replacement for hand-built. You can also tweak the rocks using AI if they’re not up to your usual rock standards.
procedural stuff looks so easy and beautiful, this makes me excited because developers will be able to make Giga giant maps to explore, imagine 2,000 square kilometer map
We have been seeing these unreal engine 5 tech demos for years now and im still waiting to see it on a actual game..
A type of technology that could only get my hands on normally and pleasantly in the next 10 years or even 20 years
The dust on the windshield is really coool. The environmental effects on the suspension of the vehicle just show how much they’ve dedicated their efforts to this project.
The dirt on the tires mind blowing
U heard of snow runner my guy? This is nothing new in terms of physics
All these effects like dust on screen, glare etc are already there in Horizon 5
Its nowhere on the level of detail as this. Every new game should use unreal engine 5
@@2003Abdulla sure it aint bud
its crazy to see how far games have come in such a short amount of time
This is a tech demo not a game. Tech Demo's are always vastly superior to the games that are made on the same engine.
my computer however, not
Modern Computer Gaming is already over half an average human life old.
Games getting worse year by year
@SotaMak3 No, games are improving, it's human expectations that are getting worse.
This is dope... but is there a reason you only uploaded to 1080p?
VR systems within unreal will be insane when it comes
When he drives through under that tree at 3:17, the view actually looks real. It's crazy. No game had such an effect on me before.
A última vez que tive essa impressão foi no trailer fake de GTA 5, aqueles renders que se passavam por trailers
That was the exact point that made me really appreciate this demo!
Looks like a car commercial crazy
Game Name Please
yeah fr
Holy...the way the map instantly renders after he inputs different values to the procedural system is crazy, it's a game changer for game developers
Could this be closer to the end for Crunching?
that blew me away how seamless it looks
yet none of them are using this because unity contracts
@@ronaldwoofer5024 indie devs will take advantage of that lol
@@DEMANATI Yup!
The suspension, lighting, and foliage look unreal
I'd love more games with real world physics. This looks incredible.
As the name says, it's honestly unreal how all this is being done in real time. Obviously, they are using strong hardware, but this is incredibly impressive
even when they are using 'strong' hardware, it is still within reach than when they showed off unreal engine 4 demo with 3 nvidia gpus in sli mode.
We have come very far.
it's very high end hardware, but many developers in the field will at some point have access to that. "playing" with a similar environment will be much more accessible once they actually optimize it to be ran
@@marcohorodnichev9489 They are accessible end-user products though, high-end for sure, but still something that any PC enthusiast has access to
The new technology does not need super hardware, it uses technology so that resource consumption is less
It's very on very high-end hardware, and even then, this is a very small simulation. But, more importantly, why do graphics matter?
That's insane... the denseness of that forest and they way it's generated is amazing
yeah cant wait to have to buy 5 rtx 4090ti to play that in 10 fps
a 3000€ PC for 60fps full of stutters as usual on recent PC ports
Looks almost real 😳
Looks about the same as the forests in Crysis, a game from 2007.
@@MuTSoftLight ? So you're saying is there is no way to play this kind of graphics today with these new generation GPU?
This is absolutely marvellous and unreal how far we've gotten with game engines, but understand that this is only a DEMO and the engine was used just for this short demo. In reality, production has to accommodate for a lot of other performance factors and might not look or feel as great.
Not many things blow your mind as much as this. Mad mad cool stuff🔥
2007: Crysis - 2,5 million polygons
2023: 71 million polygons. Insane!
And that's just the Rivian car model.
Crytek will be back with crysis let's see what they bring this time with crysis 4
@@EliminateAllEvilAssociationit’s actually going to be using unreal 5 🤪 ultra pathtracing, nanite tech and loomin :) crytek already announced. So you can expect these graphics or better in Crysis 4 😅
the way the rocks move when driven over is absolutely impeccable absolutely well done
take a look at snow runner
@Fernando Simões if they rewrote snowrunner or any sort of spintires games in the new unreal engine with these graphics it will be insane!
Play Uncharted 4
This is just incredible 😮 I just wish it was showing at 1440 😭 lol
The fact the procedural environment changes based on where the user puts it and connects to nearby environments just blew my mind.
It's really reassuring to see how companies are using the improvement of AI to help employees instead of replace them. Hopefully this helps other people's worries ease a bit too especially the artists.
demand for this skillset massively outstrips supply - so AI boosts productivity. If, for example, AI boosted productivity in this space not by 1000x but by 3-millionX then yeah artists would be in trouble cos you'd need to be insanely talented/specialist to justify your input
It definitely is not the intent of a company as big as Epic to not replace employees if they could. The same goes for any company that uses Unreal Engine.
AI isn't just quite there yet to replace the artists, but it quite soon may be
the plan is to replace them, in the future.
Ai kinda already has replaced a lot of Jobs so far
As an environment artist, I'm so excited and looking forward to using Unreal's new procedural generation tools. It's great that they added these new features in the engine itself, rather than having to use Houdini and and a plugin to get similar results (and for free).
It's doing the art for you. You're killing your own job
@@mog_3825 5:49 in the vid, this simply makes life easier for artists. It enhances their ability to work without detracting from the usefulness of handcrafting environments.
@@Gachaisheckjust like ai art
@@Glenn_Quagmire and what's so bad about it lol
@@Glenn_Quagmire How is this the same as AI art?
We need this in VR.
It's impressive... that some people still watch tech demos without scepticism.
in 20 years, vr will really will be like we are in the matrix. people will create their own fantasy photorealistic worlds with ease with the help of ai and easy tools, or their childhood home, places, people, family...dreams. crazy stuff.
more likely in 5
@@vivekkaushik9508 may be it happened long back and we are already in it
@@shyam163 nah it didn't, I just checked.
More like in 5 months.
You are in the matrix. 👁️
Imagine a game like beamng utilizing this sort of technology, it definitely would be the greatest game for me
Maybe the greatest looking game, but the visuals aren't enough to say whether it's great or not
@@Sackboy612 BeamNG is already the greatest driving/racing sim out there.
@@billywashere6965 totally agree
This engine would never be able to handle beams physics though.
@@BluD why? Just because it doesn't exist YET it means it can't be achieved!!
This changes everything going forward, from campaign missions and worlds, to multiplayer maps
Now imagine using this kind of realism alongside a ChatGPT based NPC's with ability to move and to see the virtual world and do stuff and interact with the player + all of this in VR...and you got an actual Matrix level (kind of) simulation of reality in a way...so sick ! crazy and intimidating how far tech have come in recent years (and especially in 2023...the year that future tech began showing its power and presence)
Absolutely incredible. Reminds me of the progress we made with space image technology. The guys, and girls at unreal are true pioneers. Geniuses in their field. I’m so excited.
Some people are not guys or girls, but transgender, gender neutral, non-binary, agender, pangender, genderqueer, two-spirit, third gender. Try to be a little more open-minded, you homophobe.
The fact that this engine is free is absolutely crazy. It'd be fun to mess with.
Well, it's free unless you selling a product made with it
@@RCmaniac667 so you want to use their tool to make money and not give them a cut?
@@RCmaniac667 well, selling a product that actually makes a decent amount anyway
This is how you get market dominance. After that they can do whatever they want. Epic now IS the modern gaming market. If they want, they could kick Xbox or Playstation out of the market just by denying the use of their engine.
@@atgwiuz yeah im using their tool to make a huge game for money what about it
Its a lot like the Houdini engine plugin, but it seems to cook a LOT faster.
Come on so far since the original tech demo for UE5, and now it can go procedural is just amazing, there are no limits except your imagination.
It always annoys me when tech demo videos like this are uploaded in 1080p. This glory needs to be witnessed in 4K
most ridiculous thing ever
It’s not even that. It’s 720p.
Yeah but the worst part is the compression that makes this all smeary
Keep crying nerd
Especially when youtube uses only 3.5 mbit bitrate on 1080p
Impeccable 😭 👏🏾 BRAVO!!!!!
YOOOOOO
You again
Lol was not expecting to see the Voice Master himself in the comment section
ZESTY LIGHTSKIN GAAAANGGGG AYYY
next omegle vid when?
Insane performance and real time renders!!!
this is such great showcase of what unreal 5.2 is actually capable of in the sense of creating landscapes
amazing showcase! real-time realism has never looked better. I'm personally excited for how fast film production will become, making it accessible to anyone with high end consumer hardware.
It seems we’re at another turning point in graphical fidelity and technical advancements like we were years ago with the jump to Xbox 360 and PS3. Considering all of the tools available in UE5 are sure to help expedite and expand studios, especially smaller studios with small teams, and projects alike to where we might have the next golden age of gaming again. If the publishers allow it, that is.
won’t happen as companies keep making games with less effort, less care and basically seeming to refuse to fix bugs. Oh and MONEY
All the technical brilliance of this engine won't help if studios or publishers do not design proper gameplay, setting or stories and continue to only toe to bottomline and cater to investors and shareholders rather than the actual gaming community.
@@AceLooneyLoz only shitty woke companies with their shitty woke games and only shitty woke people would have your point of view
@@AceLooneyLoz gotta appease the stockholders in a timely (rushed) manner, of course!
Where can we download the demo? or any car games with modded in Rivian trucks/SUVs
If they use this engine for the new Ghost recon game I'm gonna be stoked it would look magnificent exploring the surroundings checking out the different climates. That better
I'm happy that, despite the incredible procedural generation, they're still focused on artists having a hand in development.
3:16 looks literally like real life
Wow what a time to be alive!! Im so grateful to see this in my lifetime ❤!!!
Looks absolutely gorgeous.
Please release these videos in 4k in the future.
Literally just posted this... Smh like IGN and Unreal Engine can't produce (at least) 4k content... Right. 🙄🙄🙄🙄
It's because they literally just grabbed it off of the Unreal Engine Livestream (which just ended). Epic Games hasn't released the 4K native footage yet, so they wanted to beat other media outlets to the punch by grabbing it from the livestream.
Those subsurface reflections and scattering is insane!!!
Edit: So excited for the future of Game Development. This engine is free, what are you waiting for? Go create the next AAA Title!! Cheers Buds!
It's free but you need quite a beefy system to run and create in it.
@@roastinpeace2320 that’s a given tho you won’t be able to run something like this on a rig from like 3 years ago this is a whole new era for game development

このCGを一台のPCでリアルタイムに表現できることは本当に凄い事だと思うけど、この素晴らしい映像がどれほどの純粋なゲーム体験を私達に与えてくれるのか疑問なのです。
New game engines such UE5, IW, Source2 reached peak of graphics. The only way games can evolve is animations. You saw games like Unrecod, its impressive becouse of animations.
This is truly mind boggling to watch! The realism of every aspect of this demonstration in terms of shading, lighting, and sound is unreal. Seeing them edit the environment in real time was so cool too!
Imagine games like no man's sky and elite dangerous would use this engine in future.. for example the sequel of those games... It's just crazy
Space games in general are gonna look even better
did Unreal switched to 64bit transforms? Space Games need these high precision coordination systems to work
@@AngryApple Without 64bit for the engine, those type of space games won't be possible.
@@Redsword603 not necessarily true. 64bit makes it easier but you could always a floating world origin that is centered around your player.
@@AngryApple Cant you make the position contextual? Like the position is only measured from the big world grid cells that have no measurement, just a grid number.
Looks great. Almost as nice as 32 bit bump mapping
Such a great video. Such a failing of posting this at only 1080p.
The added dust on the side of the truck after the opal colored changed was mind blowing, The 3D affects and all

Jaw dropping! Mind blowing! The engineering that has gone into this is beyond impressive. Absolutely superb
3:15 looked insane
We need all future racing games to use this engine, especially for off Roading and rallying
Excellent work, really from another planet, but remember that in the end what we need is game quality.
So much detail in *realtime* on one graphics card is crazy impressive!
From 2006 games really started getting amazing with grapichs imagine another 15 years phew
This is impressive as heck. Though it's telling how they show us the opal layer while standing still, and talk around the fact that even their high-end system couldn't run the demo in real time with that substrate on the truck. Instead it's intended for "cinematics" (e.g. pre-rendered scenes).
Saw the car in the thumbnail and went: "oh, they're gonna show a car driving here aren't they?"
Literally unreal. And to think, in 15-20 years when 4090's are cheap, this will be commonplace...
Imagine being able to test drive cars in VR using this tech and level of detail to the car.
Now this would be quite the VR experience
Why not. In some 50 yrs when the hardware of the VR sets will be powerful enough to handle this scene.
And the games will still be just as mediocre
@@MelvilleG 50 years? Hahaha. Evolution happens so fast that they will be able to make this possible in the maxim of 6-7 years
@@MelvilleG The VR gear now is for kids only ...

WOuld be nice to see a Unreal Tournament with this graphic
Looks like a perfect engine to make next uncharted game
naughty dog already as a built inhouse engine for their games, there is no need to switch engines
@@perfectoryt9118 Naughty Dog's "OnRails" engine is far superior to anything procedurally generated...
they said they were moving on from uncharted series dude
Tomb raider, Witcher, Stalker etc...
It wont look like this, at least not without insane smoke and mirrors. The PS5 is carrying what is basically a 2070s. Naughty Dog is a Sony studio and will have to publish exclusively for the Playstation 5. So its limited to whatever hardware the console can support.
These level of graphical details are absolutely stunning! Game libraries are gonna get huge ❤🎮✅
The thing is, he said that it's deterministic. So if you only had a that small section in the middle made by a human, the rest could be extracted by just some basic parameters and generation tool. You wouldn't have to ship the whole environment, just the hand made stuff and the parameters for the rest.

That was absolutely mindblowing! Superb work from the teams behind all of that!
Simply beautiful, it seems like it finally overtook CryEngine V (5.5), I wonder if CryEngine 6 (confirmed to be in development) will be able to outmatch this!
Can we get a 4K version of this video please :)
That auto-generating stuff is awesome. That should hopefully make for much more rapid production of huge maps.
of huge empty maps :p
video games always blow out of proportion how reflective cars are in shadows and how shiny they are in light
literally can’t imagine what’s gonna be going on in 15-20 years from now
nothing, this is the closest thing to photorealism that we can perceive
this is slightly worse than what's already possible with real pathtracing engines that are used in VFX studios, to save on performance of course
1080p is the best resolution for such demonstration!
