Virtual Bamboo Grove | UE5 [4K] 

Artstation: www.artstation.com/artwork/04oqvY

Absolutely mindblowing how far technology has come that scenes like these look almost 1:1 to real life.

Lumen has come so far since it's inception. This is the most photoreal project I have ever seen in UE. At first I was thinking this was rendered out in Pathtracer. But knowing that this is all realtime is just bonkers.

as a filmmaker I am blown away by the natural lens distortion and DOF and perfect amount softness to the image, and the slight over exposure on the sky. Im watching on a 120 inch screen and I have to say this is the most convincing photorealism i've seen... I struggle to believe this is not only GCI but UT5... has me very excited for the future.

this is by far the most photoreal ue5 creation I've seen. absolutely insane, well done

The rain material makes all the difference! Well done, looks so real!

That's literally reality, you can't convince this is fake

Beautifully done.. hands down one of the most realistic ones I've seen. Love the color grade on it as well.

I honestly had to do a double-take. I consider myself pretty good at spotting renders and real-life scenes, and this time, I was just confused as to how good this looks. Incredible.

I had to watch this a few times because I just couldn't believe it. I swear, every one of your videos is better than the last. What you can do with this engine is truly inspirational. Such a treat to get another one of your videos.

Wow you are one of the few people who can make such stunning realistic renders in ue5

I remember when Battlefield 3 was considered the most realistic looking graphic, thinking how much longer until we can see something that truly like real, here we are.

0:08 and 0:26... I couldn't even tell. I love these kinds of UE projects, not just slapping presets, but actually having the time and effort to perfectly set things up.

Photo realism at its peak according to me. Keep it up man

daaaaaamn that's incredible level of Unreal Engine scenes.

So sick, we need a tutorial on how to achieve this level of realism

Не могу поверить своим глазам. Выглядит как реальная сьемка живой природы.

This is one of the most realistic showcases ive ever seen. Well done!

5 very big shiny stars. Great subtle camera work. Not overcooked and wobbly like so many people erroneously do.

It looks more real than real life

I hope that I can live long enough to be able to play an actual videogame with these kinds of graphics... It's simply incredible

Looks so good! Almost photorealistic. The rain drop splashes were the only thing that looked off

First time I've seen foliage that is actually realistic, a few more polys here and there and it would be flawless for me. Huge respect.

The effects of the water drops being absorbed by the wet wood is peak. Love it.

Just got done binging your channel and it's clear that your skills are improving lately. This is top notch stuff. Keep up the great work!

The walk sown the path at the end looks absolutely real. Crazy cool.

I cant stop watching this. Showing my friends too. So insanely cool. Hope you make more man.

You're probably the only artist who reached real photo-realism in unreal engine. Your works are out fo this world. You already helped me in the past to get wet effect using decals, I can't thank you enough for this. Top tier artists are usually (unfortunately) not available to share lots of details around their works. If you have time, you can maybe do a tutorial regarding your console variables for render settings. I suppose you use some of them, otherwise I don't get how the renders looks so clean. It seems like you're using 16K megascans, man!

Man this is so cool, I might be in a different engine but I love these UE vids and presentation they always bring me a lot of excitement. The rain is the only thing that's kind of weird to me, I don't know what it is exactly but something how the rain drops hit the ground, their light and maybe framerate feels off about it. But that's such a small thing that I'm nitpicking, really love this! You captured the atmosphere very nicely. :)

Best part of this demo is the foliage leaves moving. Not all demos show this. It just give so much life to a scene.

I seriously hope that this will be able to be done for VR in the next few years.

Oh wow, this looks and feels real! Kudos, Leo!

I love this one so much. Watched it a couple times already. Besides the almost forgotten "the third and the seventh", this is the most realistic piece I've seen in a long time. The rain... mind blowing, thank you for sharing that. This is soo damn good.

HOLY SHIT!! I am very pleased by this work!!! The bamboo is so real and nice!!!!

Honestly I’m having a really hard time believing this is not recorded out of a camera, this is how real it feels. The raindrops gave it away a bit so that’s how I know this is engine made but this is by far the most realistic video I’ve seen holy fucking shit.

This is the first time I saw an Unreal video and went "Why am I watching some 'Fall asleep in ten minutes - rain sooths you to sleep' video, and realized, oh my god, this isn't REAL. Amazing work here.

Wow! Definitely one of the most realistic UE5 demonstrations I've seen!

I have no words. Simply beautiful. I want games to look like this.

Astonishing work Leo, just incredible

Wow, this looks like your really outside in the rain, I cannot see anything that gives it away either, well done.

aaaaaamazing. That realism makes the scene so immersive, even without being in VR or something. 👏

Wow, one of the best i've seen coming out UE5, very well done Sir!

This is more than real for me. Absolutely stunning video!😍💚

I watched based on an idea I have for my own niche, despite learning UE 5 for a while now I can´t believe the realism of this. Awesome work dude 👏

I'm completely blown away by this! Fantastic job!

That was gorgeous very zen. Well done

I think, for the first time, my eyes are totally fooled. I would never have thought this was CG - unless told beforehand. Incredible, but also terrifying.

Gameranx brought me here! Thank you so much for giving us a glimpse into the potential of games!

You have reached a new and last level - reality. It looks like a film. Keep this level.

Mind is literally blown. Phenomenal.

Leo Torres the new Alex Roman. Same quality in the photorealism and you give us a mood which dive into your creation. Thx for sharing!

I just showed this to our demogroup and offered a bottle of bacardi if they can tell it's a render. I guess I dont have to worry about owing them a bottle. The only thing that gives it away is the water droplets drying so quickly on the wood. The rest is as real as realism. We are entering very interesting times. Great job!

Absolutely phenomenal! This is the level of skill and beauty that I aspire to. Just fantastic.

If you gave that last shot a handheld camera move and added realistic footsteps across wet boards, I would have no idea that's not real. Glad they named the software "unreal" to remind us!

by far the best i have seen :) knowing my pc will never be able to show this interactively

Several times I was struggling to tell if it was real or not... Especially on those wide shots of the bamboo trees. Really amazing stuff

We're getting close. It's the fact that you can do close ups like that and still look almost convincing that makes it apparent. The wider experience is already pretty much there.

God that was really awesome and good, I could literally smell the nature and feel the rain. That was amazing composition

Love your work! Very inspirational!

Muito bom, destaque para a iluminação...

Damn, this is the most realistic unreal project I’ve seen, Bravo 👏

imagine in 10 years when GPUs are fast enough and PT becomes mainstream, we get to play games with this level of realism. That is truly beautiful.

Amazing, great work!

This is astonishing. I've never seen CG so realistic. Well done.

Looks sooo good. The firefly’s from the rain is the only thing that gives it away

This is my favorite scene thus far in all of video rendering

Wow, this is crazy. Imagine this quality in VR. So many people with disabilities or problems can travel everywhere. And live a better life

The beautiful virtual bamboo grove is realistic, outside of, say, the floating leaves in the opening reused assets. It must be a Bethesda production. Levity! This is purty darn good.

Absolutely amazing!

It's absolutely perfect.

Realistic look congrats mate! Love it

Maybe in a far future we cant see.... games will look like this but feeling and seeing all trough a helmet, like connected cells in a dream. No keyboard and mouse, no controller, just the mind... the matrix

This is amazing! Thank you for sharing and please post a breakdown or tutorial would really love to see your light setup, materials etc 🙏🏻🔥

Other then the greenery not moving in a realistic manner this looks almost real. When the day comes for computing power to render each individual leafs movement its own we will have a much harder time distinguishing the real from the fake. The games may look real, but will they be fun?

leo nailed the tones insanely close to real. love to learn his tech.

This is amazingly awesome... keep it up

Incredible work!

This really showcases an unprecedented level of realism. From the accurate depth of field, lens distortion, and film grain, to the convincing play of light and shadows, realistic physics or placementof leaves. There are subtle imperfections that computers typically miss, like accurate subsurface scattering and human motion. Hats off to the creators for pushing the boundaries of computer-generated art! 🎉 I'm going to dive into ue5

This is absolutely amazing! it's difficult to tell this apart from actual reality!

Literally the only things that told me this wasn’t real was that the rain drop impacts seemed a little slow mo, and the leaves rustled just a little too uniformly. Other than that maybe the colour but that’s more a stylistic choice and I’ve definitely seen cinematic of say Norway that look just like this. STUNNING!

Imagine this UE5 project in real time. That would be so relaxing to just roam around. 😄

Amazing. Impressive job.

Absolutely wild! Incredible job

great work mate !

the amount of therapeutic potential with such realism is too real to be fake

amazing mate, inspires me to try UE !!

Should have known this was your creation. Attention to the detail is just so good.

This is very cool, great job.

this is to sick , it to reall , good job bro

Just think about how insane it will be when VR games are using this.

Didn't know Lumen could look this photoreal. Well done!

Un freaking real... no pun intended. Game developers have so much potential at their finger tips now. Yay 🙌

Wow... breathtaking 😍

stunning work mann

0:25 This shot is flawless

Amazing! It's so beautiful!

This looks incredibleeeee 😍

I doesnt even know more what is procedural/scanned/handcrafted. The result is a peacefull loneliness into an illusion. Great work Indeed ! 👏

Rain in digital form looks so unreal!

This is astounding! Amazing work, please make a longer version.... for sleeping :3
