Description:
Around 2 years ago i started to play around with unreal 4.x. and created this little nature scene: Nature Scene
For me it’s been a jaw dropping result, considering the fact that i just started to use this tool, and it only took me around a week. (i have plenty of DCC experience, which definitely helped me to get started).
After Unreal 5 came out i started to convert the scene to take advantage of lumen and nanite. I dropped the HDR i used for lighting in favor of the very cool and straight forward sky system with the nice looking volumetric clouds. Also i added a few more scenes.
This is the result: Nature Scene with Lumen and Nanite
(Viewport Screencast)
I learned most of the lighting and rendering techniques from Wiliam Faucher, and i’m very grateful for this!
I really wish that i get the chance to continue with this project, i strongly believe that it could be a very promising proof-of-concept for a short movie. I already tried to add MetaHumans to it and played around with them, it works like a charm…
