Reality VS Unreal Engine 5

Beginning is real, then it's Unreal.

Project done in 7 days from recording, creating the street 3D scan, optimization in blender, UE5 design.

This is fake 4K, as I rendered in 1080p but youtube compression is too bad below 4K upload.

The street buildings are low poly (800k tris) but have 42 x 8K diffuse and normal maps. However it works in real time in cinematic configuration. The sequence took 2min30 to render for a total of 3700 frames. Ray tracing + Lumen.

Photogrammetry made in Reality Capture software.

This is getting ridiculously realistic at this point

Never ask woman her age,
man his salary
and 3D artists why all of their photorealistic showcases are in overcast conditions :)

If you set it to 480p it looks 100% real. I think the main problems in this scene are the blurry textures and plants.

More camera shake in line with the step sounds would have really sold this, to match the source footage.

Beautiful work. The audio was the only thing that made me question it. But it's visually stunning.

Imagine for history class instead of a lecture you just put on VR goggles and just watch it

the camera stabilization really makes reality look like a render

[jorgemdahuar]

NO WAY, common can not be real.... amazing, simply amazing!!!

I'm already doubting this video and thinking that this is just 2 videos of the same area spliced together. Good work man.

beautiful work my man!!!! <3 congratulations !!!

Looks absolutely amazing! Only the motion blur and camera movement really give it away.
Crazy to think about how games will look 10 years from now when Triple AAA blockbuster games squeeze every ounce out of the UE5 engine.
Similarly to how Callisto Protocol looks phenomenal with it´s final iteration of Unreal Engine 4.

I remember when I played Resident Evil 1 back in 1996 and I thought the imported photos were already so realistic. Gaming has come so far since then.

Imagine what the 7nth engine will look like.

If you hadn't have told me, I wouldn't have known. Outstanding.👌

[Urbexy]

Brilliant job. It would be difficult to tell which was which. Roughly how many images did you need to capture to create the scene? There is just soo much detail. One of the best I have seen yet 🙂

the movement of the camera in Unreal footage seems carrying heavy camera. while reality walking is so flawless

[BeanutButterBoy]

It's incredible that all of that is rendered in real time. absolutely insane.

The 2000's ultra realistic graphics was like:

What shocks me more than the realism is how well they were able to scan the environment. That transition from real to Unreal is seamless.

I'm not lying when I tell you I almost had to vomit due to disbelief
