Thanks man!
Iam Not Sure though if I understand you correctly. What you see when playing GTA is not the Out of the Box result. Its carefully craftet over 4 to 6 years with hundrets of people. It uses very specific solutions that require hours of timeconsuming tweaking and Set up Work and relies heavily on Post processing as well.
I think it’s really easy to underestimate the Power of Unreal 4 if you haven’t worked with another in house Engine. Most of the Times, These Tools are Not that great and its actually quite hard to get good Results. It takes a lot of sweat and tears
Cheers!
