    So basically, 3D scanning an environment, you used a similar method that Developers "Big Fish" 3D Scanning of Chernobyl for their game Chernobylite - Which runs on Unreal Engine 4 - Making the real scanned maps of the game feel like a AA+ title.. However, this church in Unreal Engine 5 looks phenomenally better, you'd think it's a Pre-Rendered cutscene, but it's all Real-Time!

    • @malydok
      @malydok Рік тому

      The church in Ethan Carter is based on the Vang Stave Church in southern Poland, which is actually a Norwegian church transferred to Poland in 1842. The game contains other regional references, the dam, hydro-power plant and the railway bridge are based on their counterparts in Pilchowice. Not sure how accurate but I remember hearing that the game was one of the pioneers in photo scanning real environments.

      @smittyvanjagermanjenson182 Рік тому

      Not even 10 years. Right now, games are capable of this, but only the highest end gaming PC is capable of doing it this outstandingly well. Currently EPIC is using Fortnite to showcase these features, and the results (even for a more cartoon art style) are jaw-dropping on the latest consoles. I played the other day and was just marveling at the fine details you don't notice unless you stop and look. I stopped in a "cheese and meats shop," and the cut wheels of cheese up close were slightly low resolution, but still good enough to show every little crater and crack. The ray tracing used for reflections and shadows in the game were running in software, and they also do a great job mimicking what the brute force of hardware based solutions can do. Honestly console hardware just needs to catch up at this point as these techniques for more realistic art direction is fairly demanding
