How does UE4 stack up against CryEngine 5's rendering capabilities

It wouldn’t take that long - but besides, your entire argument is that it would take one unknowledgeable person too long to achieve, and disregards the fact that working with inferior tools is also a waste of time when better tools are available. You’re going to lose time somewhere, so pick one. The person implementing it wouldn’t have to work from scratch or roll their own either; there’s experimental propogation volumes in the editor, older builds with SVOGI still intact, a 3rd party plugin in development here on the forums, Nvidia’s custom branch, or ready-to-roll professional solutions like Enlighten.

If you’re unwilling to use inferior tools, unwilling to implement your own solution, unwilling to adopt a 3rd party solution, and unwilling to compensate someone for doing it for you, then I guess you’re stuck - but it isn’t like the options, requiring effort on your part, are not there.

Do you see how he is asking about the feature already being there not the ability to put it together from plugins, unofficial, third party sources?

Initially I was drawn to UE4 because of the ease of use and the BluePrint system. However, CryEngine is boasting a platform that seems to be aimed more at producing high end graphic quality games. With SVOGI, Per-Object Shadow Maps, Screen Space Directional Occlusion and there Volumetric Fog Shadows. Does UE4 do any of this? I think UE4 is more user friendly, especially for the indie developer who could probably prototype gameplay ideas faster than they could in CryEngine (just my opinion), but it seems that CryEngine is pushing the limits as far as what you can do with the visuals.

I think I have answered his question pretty clear. Whether he wants to put every single feature together in UE4 or just switch to CE and start building his jungle is up to him.
