Unreal Engine 5

Sweet. Once scalpers stop being assholes or the great GPU shortage of 2021 ends, I can build a system that will run this.

The same tracing that is done for reflections is also done for indirect lighting. That is how physics is.

What do wee need to get 120fps and RT? RAM that is faster than 1000 GB/s? 30 teraflops?

More Lumen examples

These shots, especially the first one, remind me of the old 3dtotal "making of" tutorials back in like 03'

Good stuff

Brian Karis has shared an extensive breakdown of UE5's Nanite tool at SIGGRAPH 2021.

Super interesting stuff. Before watching that deep dive video, I knew there was some virtualization black magic stuff happening with Nanite just from watching how it's set up from the Early Access and what features it currently supports.

But the fact that it's just triangles that are changing in sub-pixel level makes it just as that, and that I truly understood less than half of the words in that video. Virtualized black magic stuff.

Can you even say black magic anymore? I haven't hung around in them Twitters for years.

This is pretty much the most awesome Tech demo one could think of.

If you’re old enough, this will remind you of those demos/games bundled with the 3D accelerators. Lots of graphics, minimum interactivity. Almost 30 years and things have not changed.

This demo has surprisingly much of interactivity considering it’s done by a 50-70 people team in a year. They have a new AI system that allows simulating thousands of NPCs and each car crash is unique thanks to their new choas physics system.

DF goes into detail about whats up:
