Just a short video of the three GI methods going through the Northwood map. Both ReSTIR implementations are in pre release state so there will be issues with them, but still cool to mess around with.
Nanite Full Geometry Trees Vs. Masked - Unreal Engine 5.4.4

Just a quick and dirty test after cutting out the leaves of one of the European Hornbeam trees from Megascans. This will be redone in the future after I fix the leaf decimation on the full geometry trees.

Stylized Project - Weather system preview
มุมมอง 2456 หลายเดือนก่อน
I'm continuing work on the stylized project I started so long ago, but this time with an additional team member. The game is being made in Unreal Engine 5.4.1 and, as pictured, is using Lumen HWRT and Nanite. There will be options for lighting that is easier to run for the average build, but Nanite will remain a core part of this project.
Nanite Foliage Optimization in Unreal Engine 5 - Quick tips
มุมมอง 3.4K7 หลายเดือนก่อน
I have not optimized any of this foliage further than what is shown in the video so this could still be improved. I just wanted to show the tips that have helped me the most with Nanite foliage. I painted the trees more densely than is necessary for the video just to illustrate the viability of doing this. I made the trees in Speedtree, which you can find here: store.speedtree.com/ And for the ...

The torch is too bright against the snow so I have some work to do but I'll fix it! This is running on the NvRTX branch of Unreal Engine 5.3.2. In the video I'm using Lumen HWRT with ReSTIR features, as well as RTXDI. I'm using Nanite as well. This is running on a Ryzen 7 7700X and RTX 4080 FE with 64gb of ram at 6000mhz.

@@MrEnderNerd I appreciate it! Let me know if there’s anything specific you’d like to see. I’m pretty much always doing something in unreal
i dont think restir is working correctly, no way it looks that bad, it looks like garry's mod, there's no GI
@@daikon711 it’s not working correctly, just an early preview. But I also forgot to disable skylight reflections which is most of the reason it looks that way
did you need to turn on the RTXGI plugin for this?
@@viatorrr the only plugins I’m using here are DLSS and NRD. When you build the NvRTX branch, ReSTIR GI is included but needs NRD enabled to be used
@fabiolives ah thanks, all this time I thought i needed that plugin which doesnt work anymore. did you have the issue where turning on ReSTIR just looks like the skylight got disabled, can't tell if this is just an AMD issue on my end
@ yes, if I remember correctly you need to disable ray traced reflections from the skylight. And this comment reminded me that I forgot to do exactly that in the video haha
@@fabiolivesi had tried it and sadly it's still the same for me, it's still experimental so I'm just gonna put off if trying to even use it rn. i wish the RTXGI plugin worked tho, would've been nice to have a alternative to lumen
@ yeah, ReSTIR GI still isn’t quite there yet but in the specific scenes it’s good with, it’s nice. I’m enjoying megalights in 5.5 though
Is the process of building nvrtx unreal different from building unreal from source? I keep getting error messages during build
@@Viscte it’s the same as building 5.4.4 from source. Have you tried building the normal build of 5.4.4?
@fabiolives I haven't yet tried the non Nvidia build yet if that's what you're asking
Hey, can you help me? I've been trying to render a sequence with ReSTIR using the movie render queue, and I wanted to increase the quality settings for sampling, because by default, NRD flickers a lot. Can you suggest how I can render the highest possible quality? Thanks!
@@SUVO_RAW have you tried changing the boiling filter setting? If you’re seeing noise from lighting, that would help it. Also helps to bump up the number of bounces ReSTIR GI does. 32 barely has an impact for me but is noticeably better
@@fabiolives Ok, thanks. I saw the presentation from NVIDIA. They render scenes with only emissive materials and it was clear. I think there is an option to use initial samples, but it is no longer present in the latest version.
@ I think initial samples is still there if I’m remembering correctly. However, it’s very heavy on performance
@ I actually found out what settings to use to get perfect results
How did you enable ReSTIR GI un Lumen? thanks bro
@@juancarlosgzrz it’s a setting in post process volumes. You expand the menu under global illumination and you’ll find it there
dlss rayreconstruction is inside nvrtx 5.4.4?
nope !! they are still working on it
I couldn't find NvRTX branch Page, Suggest the proper link.
th-cam.com/video/Y9XPCKQBg8E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=5K9fvbYVYNbG_fcV
SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER.
dynamic range in restir is lost
Mostly due to me leaving it at default settings, it definitely isn't meant to be that way and has quite a few options that can be tweaked
Hey can you show comparison between ReSTIR VS LUMEN STOCK VS LUMEN HWRT VS PATH TRACING?
@@SanjeevKumar-be4dd I might do that! I’m waiting for the current NvRTX branch to be updated before I do more of these, ReSTIR is a little broken at the moment
@@fabiolives After watching your video i'm really curious about Realtime Path Tracing look with Nvidia Unreal Branch
@@SanjeevKumar-be4dd it’s actually in this video, ReSTIR GI is their real time path tracing solution. But I’ll use it in an area that shows it off more
Sacrificing the beautiful light rendering of the subsurface scattering through the leaves doesn't seem worth it imo for performance trade off using such realistic assets. Hopefully Epic can find a performant solution to help nanite and translucent/masked alpha materials to work better together.
Cool info! I would work on the mic volume tho, not sure if just me, but was super low.
@@Retro_simone can do! It probably was me, I don’t speak in my videos very often so I didn’t pay enough attention
Lumen a bit darker, like the light travels less.
how did you remove the noise from ReSTIR GI ? I know it is something will be done with DLSS RR but right now it is not available
can you do nanite and wind? when i do it the fps are crashing
@@ohel-x7f yes you can, you’ll want to limit the WPO evaluation distance and set the shadow cache invalidation setting to static for that foliage
hi , i was amazed by your testing and Rnd , im looking for advice about archviz project real-time for big scale real estate i try only lumen and i fell just to heavy and slow FPS s , what method you think is suited for that ?
@@zakaria20062 Lumen can be great for realtime but it depends on the specs of the PC running it. If this is something that a lower end PC will be running, I would recommend using screen space global illumination. If it was for a render I would suggest Lumen or path tracing. I have had success getting Lumen running well for GPUs down to the 1060, but I would avoid it for anything below that
Are you excited to see how RTXDI plays out in Star Wars Outlaws and Lumen HWRT works out in Black Myth WuKong? I know I am!
@@InternetOfGames I actually didn’t know those games were including those! That’s really exciting to hear. I loved ReSTIR in cyberpunk, but I haven’t seen any games that used Lumen HWRT yet so I’m glad to hear that
Top one looks like a game bottom one looks like a movie
@@Mertiven and it’s even better now! It’s been updated quite a bit. It’s still considered experimental, but it’s so far ahead of this now. I plan to upload an updated video
@@fabiolives what updates?
@@juancarlosgzrz NvRTX was updated to 5.4 and has newer versions of ReSTIR GI and ReSTIR for Lumen now, along with a newer version of the NRD denoiser
Ok, now add rapidly changing camera and light conditions and see the changes. Otherwise, static lightmap does the same with no performance cost.
Not even close. Static light maps won’t have the same real time beautiful reflections that this does, although that’s not visible in the video. You’re welcome to use static lighting in your own games though.
are you using tessellation for your landscape?
I only worked with that landscape for a short time so I can’t say with 100% certainty anymore but I don’t think I was using tessellation on it. If I remember correctly I was using RVT with a bump offset to make it look like it
@@fabiolives oh okay thank you for the reply 🫡
@@ChadMaster_ not a problem! You can also achieve a better look than this by referencing height with RVT and using that for different things

How to remove the foliage noises that happen after certain distance?
that tree is 225mb in memory. that _one_ asset will use up 3% of an 8GB video card's VRAM, and that's before you load a texture for it. lets say you're making an actual video game and want to use more than one tree- lets say you're gonna go wild and use 10 trees built the same way this one is. 30% of your vram gone. yea, this is not a viable solution. neat tech demo- but no, this is not an 'optimization'.
The actual amount streamed by Nanite is not 225 mb. What you’re looking at is disk size, not the amount that’s loaded into GPU memory. This also was just a random tree purely for giving an example, not for actual game usage. Also, multiple meshes of the same type don’t multiply vram usage accordingly. The amount streamed is a mere fraction of that.
You dont know what your talking about go play with triangle tube trees
Additionally, Nanite uses a form of cluster instancing, so it doesn't work as Cost * number of trees. (Foliage tools already did instancing as well - tho different.)
@@Retro_simone exactly, I completely forgot to mention this! I’ve been impressed with how efficient Nanite is. Some projects I’m a part of have well over 1,000,000 meshes in a small area and it handles it beautifully

Thank you for making a straight forward video on how to set this up! So many Source Control tutorials for UE5 use Github which doesn't have enough storage for most UE5 projects in the free tier.
Not a problem! I ran into the same issue in the past and it seems like there aren’t many videos about Azure. Mine won’t be the best one ever or anything but I figure it’s good enough
@@fabiolives I assume you need Git LFS installed too in order to push all the UE files right?
@@paulpierantozzi sorry, just saw your comment. For some reason I didn’t get the notification! Azure can actually enable LFS on their end with a toggle but I have it installed and have always set it up that way
@@fabiolives how?
Thanks for the tips! I'd been looking for more information and had been struggling to find it.
Not a problem! I’ve spent a long time trying to make foliage run well and I wanted to save other people all the time haha
Wow. DoF in UE kind of sucks.
Shadow Cache Invalidation is not present in UE 5.3 in Foliage Details or Landscape Details. Is there a specific UE version where this feature is available?
It started in 5.3.2, you’ll be able to see it in the foliage tab or when you edit the foliage type that it makes after dropping plants in the foliage tab
@@fabiolives Thank you!
@@Switchpoppy no problem! I plan to publish a small asset pack for trees optimized for Nanite on the marketplace soon so those may help you too if you need them. I plan to make them cheap, fully modeled leaf geometry isn’t cheap currently so I wanted to give an option for people who can’t afford those
Somes artifacts appears in restir GI so dommage :/
Yeah, it’s definitely not perfect! That being said, the newest update of NvRTX has a better implementation of ReSTIR GI and it looks much better. It also performs better

Maybe too much green? Looks like a jungle sometimes.
I agree! This is just a premade demo map though, I was just using it demonstrate lighting with Lumen with stylized assets
ReSTIR GI continues to show it's place in quality
ReSrtir. GI with RTXDI looks good, how long did it take vs lumen. also what gou
I rendered both in real time with an RTX 4080! That said, I got almost half the frame rate with ReSTIR. RTXDI brought it down to about 45 fps with ReSTIR so that one was slightly longer to render than real time but only by a short time
