Rebirth: Introducing photorealism in UE4 

Very Unreal Engine

Maybe they named it the way it is to remind that theese aren't real.

Hahaha I loved this. Maybe even "Un-unreal Engine"

No our world is in the real engine.

Unreal is more high-level than Real!

Took the words out of my mouth.

I heard some sounds from Interstellar. Looks like they combined both movies.

I was thinking the same rofl

As well as Tron for some parts

Some parts from Dark Souls too.

Just watch this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zKu1Y-LlfNQ.html

Same

@@dfllnngl why the heck did you send the same video?

Sad but true, I, a coke-bottle-glasses-boy, prefer pictures to real life, so I can zoom

you should not say that, God is the best creator and we will never create anything better than our eye sight, our eyes are the best camera in the universe for us.

Lol . I just saw parts of this in another video , i thought this was a part from the Oblivion movie with Tom Cruise xD

@@edward6802 I thought this was some death stranding bull shit about saving humanity.

its surely much better than that.

The unbelievable part is, this is totally running in real freaking time.

@@cabreram.4734 Light is baked so the objects can only be static. Still gorgeous

😆😂🤣🤣 I laughed out loud after reading your comment

ull with rock. Most game nowaday can do that anyhow. It a minor upgrade. Try tree..... Still far from real....

@@HasanZobaer in glad you liked it! Lmao

This comment killed me lol!

@@teisrasmussen1610 haha thanks! Glad you laughed!

Nah dude, you look great.

Pro-tip: Never bait negative comments on youtube xD

You look like a Panda

@@jonahjameson2431 thats true haha :D

Woah. It looks like crap then Sry i had too :c

yes

yes

yes

But was it realtime? 🤔 Didn't say that anywhere, and I guess it's possible to "slow render" with UE? But awesome anyway, huge leap for the film industry waiting hours per frame. ⏳

@@Ecker00 Unreal Engine is realtime I believe, but anyway, yes it was. You should watch Twitch replay of Unreal GDC conference ;)

@@Assassunn I see the description now says real-time, either I missed it earlier or they updated it. Super impressive, yes I did see that raytracing from GDC, incredible!

@@Ecker00 Also given it says "rivaling traditional offline renderers", it seems like they really mean it was real-time. I couldn't believe it!

But what specs are required to make something like this? I can't imagine that rendering something like this with a normal setup.

I mean there would be no logical reason for this but yeah

Love death and robots on Netflix

I'm waiting for the day when my friend walks up and asks "What movie is that?" only for me to pick up the controller and show him its a video game.

@@TheChromaKid why not? wouldnt need to travel anywhere to film. you'd just render all your settings. no need for actors anymore just voice actors and actresses. i dont know anything about film so im just curious about why it makes no sense.

@@nafeel4539 it is still very expensive to do it all digitally since making these assets aren't easy

You gotta keep the arms so you could play. two legs is better, you won't need them after this 😉

Would a newborn do?

the best part is that its running on one single gtx1080ti

How the fuck my arm can make this

No. Eyes

Yes.....not physically but yes...

Fruit Farm Factory VR is shit

@@user-fy4ob5uq3h Vr is getting better.

The pixel density for the current vr products kinda breaks the immersion though

I barely leave my house now and all I play is an Xbox One and a Nintendo Switch

Me neither. Keep ordering shit off amazon, start getting my local grocery to deliver, and I already work from home. I'd literally never leave this box.

@@canadianpotato That's what I'm saying; all the things I listed are already in place, just need VR with graphics like this for completion! :D

Just gonna day that

What If You Needed To Piss?

portapotty @@FlareSFM

Reminds me of matrix trilogy, don't know can be true, bruda

Unluminati confirmed.

Haven’t studied history much have you?

Yeah, that's why the engine is called Unreal because the real life engine is just called Real.

Confirmed by Elon Musk

Yo, amazing work on the soundtrack man

Woah, thank you so much 👍👍

Amazing that your working the soundtrack for kena bridge of spirits....very much looking forward to see your work on other games☺

FANTASTIC Work, mate! Thank you

Exactly

My 1050ti just from puffering the video without actually playing it ...

@@Uncleson97 1050 tis squad lez gooooo

@@davidnguyen1622 1050 ti here too XD

It will crush. Not run even launcher. Will need about 1 TB of ram, GTRTX 100080 Ti and 128 core I20 980080 and still drops below 60 fps in 1080p 🤣🤣🤣

Burning? There is nuclear fusion happening.

They also have been working on Unreal Tournament 4 ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rS-gwrV427Y.html ), but nobody really cared, so they gave up it's development.

mleko Thats sad..... Unreal tournament 2 on xbox 360 was probably my favorite game

Different category. Have perspective.

RAGE Engine it’s pretty good too

CRYENGINE is much more realistic

They just ran this on a 1080ti??

@@soop1711 indeed. watch the behind rebirth video.

OdiN well damn I ordered a 1080ti yesterday!! Nice one

augustus should have gotten a rtx card

@@oozly9291 nah 1080ti is better for budget and also has much more vram which is paramount for the kinda rendering im doing.

@Andrew Pingwin We saw miracles happen in the 00's with new games coming out then. Your point?

@Andrew Pingwin Depends how well it integrates into developer’s workflows. The way you said your original comment is kinda off putting. We probably won’t see games taking full advantage of geometry streaming and lumen type GI for another 5-7 years, but lumen and nanite are already happening. What you’re seeing here and in UE5 will be taken advantage of immediately by people in the ArchViz & Virtual production industries

lol, it happened

Lmao

🥔 here's a potato🤣

Even with specs, this shit was better

Kaustav Dey 0 - 20% is still 0

Kampfarsch Whoa... Calm down bruv. He was just being fun.

You can, its called Iceland

@@xMuFF Is it a horror/scary game? I don't do well with those, but thanks for the suggestion!

@@Balloonbot I've heard Iceland really is absolutely breathtaking. I'd love to see it one day.

@@Harrison.DuRant They must've based the landscapes off it, i'd like to go too. No giant sci fi building though

EA has joined the Chat.

Animation is always a challange

True. Honestly, there are games that come kinda close to this level of fidelity, like H:ZD. I think what really sets this apart is the fog and lighting, its just really good

@@gracecalis5421 lol what? Not even close man. Don't get me wrong, Horizon is a great looking game, but this demo is just too many leagues ahead.

@@Shieftain Its just an example I thought off the top of my head. Battlefront by EA would be a better example. I mean the photorealistic assets are really good but its the lighting and fog that make it shoot up above the competition.

First thought that came to my mind when I read your comment was Mass Effect: Andromeda. The game looked pretty cool until I started seeing people talking.

Right? The guy doing the monologue has like the perfect narration voice

Right before the credits came, I came

Oof those Nissan CVTs are real bad. Not worth 0 down :)

LOL THIS IS HILARIOUS XD

Honestly looks like a car commercial

Noob minecraft is better than this

@@thuglyfe709 Ha.

R/whoosh

@@thuglyfe709 bruh but not its graphics and texture

*to make one video

Jokes aside Even with that power I doubt it can be done in real time

This demo was rendered with a single 1080TI, and runs smoothly in engine with that same GPU :)

@@quixeltools ahah wtf

@@quixeltools holy fuck

probably still like shit because of consoles and lack of semen in developers nutsack in order to push PC graphics and hardware. I asked my self the same thing in 2010 and now it's almost 2020, what happened in 10 years? nothing, a new generation of garbage consoles with outdated hardware will be shit out by sony and microsoft and we'll get the same graphics for the next 10 years and PC versions will be downgraded for parity and other nonsense reasons.

@@missininaction3680 Hate to saay it, but you're right. Games will look the same 10 years from now. Now, after 50 or so years? Then we can talk about graphics that even approach what's shown in this video.

MissinInAction you’re right. It seems like Sony & Microsoft intentionally produce consoles that are highly underpowered in comparison to PCs. Makes it easier for game devs, but really disappoints the community and people that want amazing gfx.

@@Lazlo. because they cant sell 2000 dollar consoles

@@missininaction3680 because they cant sell 2000 dollar consoles

I bet a fat ammount of money that this will become a game. Remember Detroit Become Human starting from a tech demo?

Then there's a completely rubbery uncanny valley guy emerging from that vehicle and everyone be like "Nah, forget that photorealism shit"

@@alessandromorelli5866 it wont , quixel isnt a game dev company

There's a story to this. The guy's speech talks about humanity's ambition leading to self-destruction, but then goes on to say we can't live without them and we must save *her.* In the shot inside the car, its revealed they're rushing a female human infant into that building. Judging by the speech, I'd surmise she's the very last human, or one of the very last. The guy narrating isn't human, as he calls humans their "creators". It's really neat how they managed to give us such a captivating universe in only a few minutes.

@@alessandromorelli5866 THIS! I've been thinking the same since this demo was released and oh man, has the waiting been painful.

It's mind-blowing...

Well, I mean isn't that wat all movies are now-a-days?

MC JamZam wait this isn’t pre rendered?!?!?

@@joewrigley729 check the video description

Stefan Johnson so its is gonna be released? Because I’m addicted to the song

@@hazarezu2217 I have no idea. Theophany's channel has been dormant for over two years now so if he's still making music, they haven't been public releases.

@@PistonsAndPitons shit,they need to release it! Many people are asking for this version! This is seriously the best emotional song..really hope they release this masterpiece

@@hazarezu2217 I agree! I'd love to hear what the full version sounds like seeing as we've really only heard a one minute snippet of it.

@@PistonsAndPitons hella yes man! This already sound freaking amazing!

David Patterson We look forward to when it can be downloaded.

not really CGI, CGI is outputted video. This is in-engine.

@@TacticalSandals yes it is cgi. All cgi means is computer generated image. You're thinking of pre-rendered versus realtime rendered.

@Astitva Verma it's not just about models being modeled. This is also about shaders, color and light setup. Photogrametry and scans just help to get started with the asset. The rest is the work of artists and engineers to make it work together.

Just photos-scans and tweaking the lighting and color grading a bit

Go and visit iceland, everything looks "death stranding like" there

@@thequilla9735 Will do.... Some day.

I'm really optimistic about the game

@@boukharroubamabrouk6943 same, though I'm not really sure what the game is about I'm still really interested in what Kojima has to show us.

@@doyoulikejazz9516 At the very least I know it'll look fantastic. For one, its running on a modified Decima engine and secondly its Kojima, that maniac has an obsession with visual fidelity.

It will consist of people standing around in Iceland with a scanning camera trying to keep warm and get their job done. They made about 1000 scans there just mainly for this project (although they will have it for sale most likely)

Here you go. its about 50mins long. It's not of this demo but its by the same company. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ATX7kmET4zE.html

I second this^^

A lot of tought went into making this comment...

A lot of waste of time went into this comment section...

100% agreed. This must be more than just a tech demo.

More like EA

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

YouQuo2 yeah because bfv and anthem totally look like shit, no frostbite is still one of the more graphically superior engines on the market, ea ruins games sure but dice and even bioware to an extent are very competent in making good looking games

Ea

I dont get it. ubisoft made one of the most graphically beautiful games these days with the latest ac, far cry, and the division.

The thing is finding ways to break our limits in even unnoticeable details can improve performances in lower qualities by just using new methods for easier calculations, so it's always worth it to try and go beyond what is currently possible even if human eye can't see the difference.

The Gamer's Den faster calculations is the key, going forward

We're really good at things like cars and rocks. People are much harder.

Trust me, we've still got a long way to go. Solid objects are obviously nigh perfected, but fleshy squishy humans? Those are much harder.

@@alexhartline5707 Sorry but no the quantum computing will not be for gaming the key for the future will only be optimization

**James Cameron enter the chat**

Applause for this man right here.

@Andrei Georgescu Denis Villeneuve? Yeah, he nailed it.

P L E A S E I've been waiting for two years now without ANY news 😭🙏 It must be more than just a demo. All the people involved, the narrative, concept art, the music... We can only dream.

quite the contrary i think. Now youll have the freedom to create what you see, without the toolbox being an obstacle.

@@thomashovgaard3134 I don't think I follow. Quixel scans seem to be complete to me.

Not by a long shot, but, I think I got what you meant by that, and, if you're interested, quixel have the Quixel Mixer software, which let you do texture authoring, by blending scans, or by procedural workflows, really powerful, and it's free while the beta is running, recommend checking it out bud

@@jintarokensei3308 with scans you are limited by what exists, you are not able to create stuff you cant scan now can you?

Don't think this is real time at all

This is realtime? wtf

DJordydj They said it was...

DJordydj it is real time...

I downloaded it in 1440p about a year ago and I can say your statement is very, very true. Coming from someone who has watched this at least twenty times.

Here really hoping they're working on a game about this. It's not that crazy when you think about it. This trailer is really high quality for it to be just an engine demonstration. Have you read the end credits? like holy shit man

pun intended?

Good pun but just to be sure, this isn't real time rendering for gameplay or anything :P

@@MrCrashystyle On the video description, it says "Introducing Rebirth, a real-time cinematic produced by Quixel, harnessing the power of Unreal Engine and real-world scans from the Megascans Icelandic collection." Doesn't this mean it's rendered in real-time?

@@LRdenve oh wow, I read over that, well... I was wrong, apologies... But I don't think this will be the state of game graphics all too soon (could be wrong though)

Hell yeah!

Francisco Cruz One thing I’m almost sure is that they used 8k textures. Scans looks really sharp.

Francisco Cruz I have some of the scan they used. In 4K and I can tell you that if look at them as close as the video. It’s not that sharp. I will be really surprised if they used 4K textures for closer shots and heroes assets.

@Francisco Cruz Most online Quixel demos use 8K and 16K textures.

@@hurrdurrimaburr Unreal Engine doesn't even support 16k textures. Im guessing the ones for the close up shots were 4k to 8k, LOD0 while the rest were probably LOD1-3 1-2k.

its Quixel UE4 by Theophany

We are getting pretty close! Too bad AAA game developers are too focused on money and don't care much about the game itself nowerdays. (With exeptions). Some indi developers have made some incredibly realistic games/demos similar to this but usually on a smaller scale

@@MisterKrakens throw em in the trash and buy a decent PC. Problem solved :)

Mine Thing You must pay the wrong AAA games then. Idiot.

Maybe Death Stranding is going to be the closest we'll get to that in the near feature.

@Brian Prior And a renneissance you shall have. America is being covered with 5G infrastructure as we speak, 2019-20. Which enables laggless, latency-less cloud gaming. Google just announced their new RU-vid feature, to play video games in RU-vid videos. Or to play the most demanding PC games on any device, even a phone. So, with every video game essencially becoming a browser game hosted on a powerful server far away, you can expect the graphics to go trough the roof!

its Quixel UE4 by Theophany

A single 1080Ti was the only thing needed to run this in real-time at 4K with the frame rate you're seeing :)

@@teddybergsman5358 How you know?

Lol.

Amazing work

@@teddybergsman5358 Unreal 4 engine is insane. Thanks for that tidbit of info! I'm a buddy of Pongles. He says you're a cool dude! Insurgency is sweet 8]

right! because it uses Quixel's library of "photogrammetry" scanned assets from the real world so rightfully so

Only to the untrained eye.

Wrong? Untrained eye? Tf, the only way to tell the difference is if you spent long enough looking at each frame, I guarantee if you saw a video with colour corrected real life footage and this all edited into one video you couldn't tell the difference.

@@linuxafrica2584 You're very naive. Just because you can't tell the difference doesn't mean others can't. I work with CGI and no matter how photorealistic graphics seem to be there's always something "off" about them.

@@douchymcdouche169 I also work in 3d, I'm just a student atm but what did I say that was niave???

Same ! The overall ambiance feels like those trailers of death stranding, colors, landscapes

the worst part is it was done with a single 1080 ti and runs real time simulation/rendered 60fps. my point is theres no reason we shouldnt have games like this.
