Hybrid Render in Unreal Engine 5.4

Have you ever heard about Hybrid Render in Unreal Engine? Well, I’m calling this name.
It’s a compositing with both renders Lumen and Path Tracer to achieve a better look for cinematic sequences.

I did this cinematic sequence in collaboration with Leartes Studios. I used their amazing Feudal Japanese Village assets and scene.
The compositing was made in After Effects.
Project here: ArtStation - Hybrid Render in Unreal Engine 5.4

Thanks to RTX GPU and NVIDIA Studio driver, it was possible to render in a couple hours, even with Path Tracer.

117GB of EXR files for both renders (Lumen + Path Tracer)

Josi Goetze gave me this intro idea of the fishes, referencing to Ocean and Moon spirits from Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Music from Envato Elements.

Hope you like it

Hi there @andersonrohr,

Hope you’re well and having a wonderful week so far

This environment is so incredibly stunning and dream-like. It felt like a zone in a game that would be everyone’s favorite. Also, since you mentioned Avatar - I think it’s spot on. So reminiscent of the movies and that world. Do you plan on creating more projects like this?

Hey @PresumptivePanda !!
Thanks, I’m glad you liked it

Yes, I’m constantly looking for solutions to improve cinematics coming from UE, and I’m planning to continue using both renders Lumen + Path Tracer composed together to achieve a better look for cinematic.

Also, yesterday I was testing this method with the 3d scan of my parents. I’ll be posting here some renders soon.

I look forward to seeing them. Especially if they’re anything like this project Happy developing until then!
