Unreal Engine: Special Presentation from Weta Digital

[Kinthey]

A nice look at how Weta works with the Unreal engine and a realtime short they produced.

The short starts at 3:45

I don't think they mention on what kind of hardware this is running but those sure are some impressive realtime graphics.

Edit: nevermind, they actually mention it

I heard the last guy saying nvidia 3090.
Impressive.

Saw that some days ago too, really impressive R&D indeed, it bodes well for the future. I just can't stand working with an offline renderer anymore when I see what modern real-time tech is capable of. Unreal 5 may be huge for movies and series.

I've seen Unreal Engine namechecked in the credits of a film before. I cannot for the life of me remember which one though.

They used Unreal in Rogue One and the Mandalorian.

is it?
He mentions the card when talking abut the workflow, but they also show they could toggle geometry to be less detailed while working since the extra detail of the rocks is not needed for animators and would make the previz smoother.

It's good to remember that the final shot is rendered with quite bit higher quality than the one seen in viewport. (Similar to Gran Turismo camera with its accumulation buffer method.)

Once virtual production LED "volumes" become more affordable, I think it could lead to a little revolution in filmmaking. Truly incredible stuff.

Yup.

Nanite in UE5 may be very nice feature for this as well. (No need to create all the lods for simple rocks etc.)
