Unreal Engine 5 Demo Dreams Recreation New Video Focuses On The Making of the Soldier Figure

The impressive Unreal Engine 5 tech demo shown final week has been partially recreated in the PlayStation 4 exclusive game Dreams. Piece of work hasn't stopped, all the same, and today the programmer shared another video showcasing another part of this recreation.

The new video shared past Martin Nebelong focuses on how he recreated the soldier figure seen in the tech demo. According to the video's description, it took him two hours to create the effigy, and the swell results are a attestation not only to the programmer'southward skills but also to the power of Dreams.

Howdy all, here'south the timelapse for affiliate ii of my Unreal Engine 5 recreation/tribute in Dreams on Playstation 4. Here, I take you through a sped-up version of the around ii hours it took to sculpt the soldier effigy. I tried to use a traditional sculptor's arroyo of starting with a big block and sculpting my fashion into that.. that was a fun way to work!

The Unreal Engine 5 tech demo gave players all over the world a glimpse of what next-generation gaming will expect similar. The new version of the engine will come with cardinal features like Nanite applied science and real-time GI powered by Lumen.

Lumen is a fully dynamic global illumination solution that immediately reacts to scene and lite changes. The system renders diffuse interreflection with infinite bounces and indirect specular reflections in huge, detailed environments, at scales ranging from kilometers to millimeters. Artists and designers tin create more dynamic scenes using Lumen, for example, changing the sun angle for time of twenty-four hours, turning on a flashlight, or blowing a hole in the ceiling, and indirect lighting will suit appropriately. Lumen erases the need to wait for lightmap bakes to terminate and to author calorie-free map UVs—a huge time savings when an artist tin motility a light within the Unreal Editor and lighting looks the same equally when the game is run on console.

Nanite virtualized micropolygon geometry frees artists to create as much geometric item every bit the eye tin can come across. Nanite virtualized geometry means that picture show-quality source fine art comprising hundreds of millions or billions of polygons can be imported directly into Unreal Engine—anything from ZBrush sculpts to photogrammetry scans to CAD information—and it just works. Nanite geometry is streamed and scaled in real fourth dimension so there are no more than polygon count budgets, polygon memory budgets, or draw count budgets; at that place is no need to bake details to normal maps or manually author LODs; and in that location is no loss in quality.
