CS2 with RTX On

I recreated one of HeavyGod's recent moments on Nuke entirely in Unreal Engine! The atmosphere of this project was heavily inspired by my recent trip to Seattle, where my girlfriend and I spent the whole day soaking in the unique vibe of the city. It’s a place that feels dangerous (but maybe "gritty" is a better word?), yet undeniably warm and alive—it left such a strong impression on me that I had to channel it into this project. That’s also why I chose "Smells Like Teen Spirit" as the soundtrack—it just felt right.

Let me know what you think of this reimagining of CS2!

As I always do, I wanted to pull back the curtain and share a bit of the behind-the-scenes process for this video. The total work time is estimated at about 50 hours, but honestly, most of that was spent battling with glass scattering simulations in Houdini. It’s a software I’ve always been a little afraid to touch, and after days of struggling to get the effect just right, I eventually gave up and moved the simulation directly into Unreal Engine using their Chaos system instead.

For rendering, I tried something new this time: I used Screen Space Reflections (SSR) for global illumination instead of my usual go-to, Lumen. I also wanted to test SSR for reflections, but I wasn’t happy with how it turned out, so I reverted to Lumen for those and rerendered everything. The total render time was about 2 hours at 4K, 30 FPS.

This project pushed me out of my comfort zone in so many ways, and even though not everything went as planned, I’m super happy with how it turned out. Let me know if you’d like me to share more about the process!

Why are we not supporting these creators, this is pure content, it takes hours and hours of making and editing. I used to do similar clips back in the days for 1.6

that transition at the end from the RTX video to the real game mixed with the music is great . It was like you woke up from a dream and back to reality ...

This gives me the vibes of cs movies 15 years ago. Just the crazy editing just clearly on a whole different level! Love it

Heavily talented and criminally underrated editing right here bro, also for the first time ever, adding that bit at the end that shows the literal editing process of what a clip turns into is beautiful. Every creator questions themselves whilst in the deepest of their creating, questions like "is this even good?" or "will anyone even bat an eye?", brotha i'm here to tell you as a fellow creator that this is indeed art, when the going gets tough, please remember your creations made an impact on some random person you've never met out there in the world, a better impact of good and that's what art and creation is all about. Keep creating things homie, wishing nothing but the best of luck.
