This INSANE Software Just Changed Filmmaking

I used the amazing relighting tools on Switch Light to help make a film lit entirely in Unreal Engine 5. This is next level virtual production. Imagine making films entirely in Unreal Engine where all of your lighting is done in the engine. Switch light is currently in beta and will be released in the very near future. You can test it at:

the results look a bit plastic but it's definitely promising. It could definitely be useful in post-prod cgi lighting correction. It's application in fan editing could be interesting

for making a rougness map use materialize, it allows for batch processing too, and the only reason the skin looks plasticy is because skin in real life absorbs light, so whatever you are applying the video material too, you should use a mask to make the skin part a subsurface scattering material and then with the roughness map the lighting will look photorealistic

doing a night scene inside of a moving car would be cool to see, since the lighting is always changing as the car is moving. Awesome work man

"who needs meta human when you have human?" has to be the most awesome thing I have ever heard

If I had seen your final footage entirely out of context, I would have never guessed it was shot with entirely flat lighting. This technology is amazing and shows great promise. As is right now, I can tell it would work wonders for a highly stylized film along the lines of Sin City.

This is crazy impressive I could see this being a huge piece of an arsenal for compositing and CGI artists in the near future

Honestly I kind of hope that Cyan Inc does this for the Riven remake. The FMV characters are what made Riven feel so real... and I think this is nuts that it could allow FMV style moments in games again.

I'm already using it in UE5. It gives me better results with the environment lights, and additionally, it saves you a few hours in compositing. Simply incredible. Thank you very much😎

It's always so amazing but taunting in a sense that the interface for these ground-breaking softwares are so simple. Like before it would be a challenging process that takes lots of time and planning, but here is this one button that can do it now in seconds.

[johanfolke]

Amazing! While it’s still early days, pushing the technology to its limits like you’ve done here will surely help to accelerate the development of this groundbreaking technology. Imagine where we’ll be in just a year!

[cowsforliyyfe]

The potential for this is huge. Definitely going to be keeping a sharp eye on this software. Thanks for the video!

[hobistinyheartbag]

That’s crazy! You edited and relighted png sequences one by one it’s even crazier!

[Kenbd]

Really amazing, can think of a few shots I could have done with this on before. Will try it out👍Thanks for the video.

[PetrosofSparta]

Hugely promising for a fix up or two. Obviously better to get it in camera - but I can't wait to see how far this can be pushed, the number of times I've shot something and just gone "Wish I had a little more light" or "wish I'd put a rim light here" - even just basic stuff like that.

[MikeRenouf]

Great video. I subscribed.

Amazing piece of tech. Looking forward to seeing how this develops!

[PiercingSight]

That's spectacularly awesome! I can't wait until these kinds of tools are just built into compositing software~

[MissElora]

Your YouTube channel is absolutely amazing! The content you create is both entertaining and informative, The production quality, creativity, and passion you put into your videos are evident in every frame. keeping me hooked with every video. Keep up the fantastic work, you're doing a fantastic job! 😊👍

[brttbrntt]

This is obviously not perfect, but far, far better than I expected. I'm especially intrigued about how this tech might work on something like an iPhone than can capture LIDAR depth data alongside images.

[firelordkushroll]

this is amazing. lost me when you said you had to process each frame individually, but im sure that wont be a problem in a few months. great stuff mate!

[JPKloess]

I've been expecting software like this to be invented, so here we go.
