  • This video is all about making the visuals in Unreal Engine look as photorealistic as possible. It's not quite a tutorial but it does cover the workflow I used to get the foliage and lighting to look incredibly realistic as quickly as possible.

    Really enjoy how photorealism makes animation appear similar to the art style called live action!

    As someone who is has no experience with working in game engines but is fascinated with the process, this small snippet was awesome to watch. I never really had much of a grasp on the process of making something like this come to life. Looking at a scene like this, with my ignorance on the process, I would have imagined it taking weeks just to put together something this pretty. The fact that it only took an hour and a half is amazing. Very excited for the future of games in Unreal 5.

    I wish someone would make a course on landscapes for managing large open world maps at runtime. Pretty images are great but I want to understand the loading behaviors and management of large land masses/assets so I know how to better approach building them.

    Looks great! I wonder whether this would be ideal for turning into a game where the character can explore the entire landscape yet not struggle with real-time gameplay performance.

    Great little tutorial, Thank you, just one thing I'm not understanding - at 5:21 when you come to add the HDRI, you select the... SM Sky Sphere in the Outliner, please can you tell me how you get a SM Sky Sphere into your scene to add the HDRI into. Thank you Very Much.

    Great video, thanks! There is not a lot of UE Path Tracer content out there so this was appreciated. Two questions though.
    1) Why does your sky still appear when you're in unlit mode? My sky turns black.
    2) How did you crank up your dir light lux to 18 and not blow out your whole scene?
    Are my settings different than yours? Something not set up right?
    Thanks!

    • @GameDevAcademy
      @GameDevAcademy  Před 11 měsíci

      1) not sure/can't remember
      2) I might have disabled auto exposure and set the exposure to a specific value (can't remember for sure - made this a while ago)

    Hey Man, thanks for the video. I got a question, what format did you import the Barn from Sketchfab that kept the textures? Was it FBX?

    • @GameDevAcademy

      I can't remember for sure but I usually go with fbx, or obj if fbx isn't available.

      I did it twice. The video is actually me recreating what I did for thr image in the thumbnail so I could share what I did.
      I preferred the first one which I spent more time me on so used that one for the thumbnail.

    it doesnt look photorealistic at all, its overall too clean, realism is the oposite of perfect, thats why its so hard, bc it takes time, realism lies in the detail
