@@gabetandy Hi, thanks for video. Do you think this graphics is possible in a game? Could average PC with lets say budget card be able to run this? thanks
Do the console variables in the movie render queue work with the path tracer? I mean can I use the same console variable with the same values in both cases?
Thank you very much for showing. I Only have the Unreal Engine 5 and starter packs, so thank you for making it easy to follow. I only had 2-3 hours with the engine before watching your video, but I was able to follow your video and make something to show for it. I did however watch it several times, to try and copy some of the effects. Thank you once again.
You are a highly respectful content creator and deserve more subs. I don’t necessarily work with unreal engine 5 but wanted to learn about its capabilities and where games are headed. Our future is bright in your hands.
Thanks for sharing your experience Gabe. Just small details like how to accurately match the size of your landscape are often not mentioned/overlooked by other creators. I would love to see more of your content in the future :)
Great video. I am just starting to work with Unreal so this is a bit beyond my skills at the moment. It's amazing how much difference the lighting makes.
Awesome, one of the best I have seen. Love that you can actually see the words in the Blueprints. So many are illegible even with me zooming in. Just awesome!!!!
Lovely piece of work, Gabe. Coming from using redshift GPU rendering I was hesitant about putting the time into beginning to learn Unreal 5. Your video is a smasher and demonstrates the pathtracer can produce excellent renders.
Hey, Really good knowledge sharing! But it would be really nice with some explanation on some skipped steps for those who wish to reproduce your results (myself included): * How did you rename the files that Gaea generated? (e.g. what is "Flow_T7"? - I have 3 different flow textures) * Did you turn on sRGB for all imported textures inside Unreal? * When you "import" the landscape texture, which one are u actually importing? There is no height map, so I think it should be ThermalShaper, but I have never used Gaea before and I'm a bit confused. * Did you have an intermediate step where you converted some of the images to black/white and removed the G and B channels? In Unreal they still show as color images in the video, but the previews in the material editor clearly look black/white. * Did you create a material instance where you did override the 3 color parameters to all be white? * Which Savannah texture did you pick? There are at least 3 out there, all named "Savannah Dry Grass". Probably more questions will come up. Right now I'm stucked at around 6_15, figuring out why my landscape has blue rivers painted on it :P Also, since I haven't bought Gaea yet, I can only export 1009 resolution - so I inserted that number in places where used instead used 4033 - I assume that's okay.. Otherwise, really great stuff.
I think what's a bit clickbaity here is that the created environment is not a real time env that can be used in a game, this is to render a cinematic clip. He mentions that briefly in the end that this wasn't a real time render, as I suspected because path tracing is very slow and you can't prebake that. This was a helpful video to see what's possible to do in a current game engine.
Hey Gabe this is a brilliant tutorial! I would love to see more involving Path Traced renders. Maybe ones that involve more action packed scenes like more intense camera moves? I'm creating an animation and would like to use Path Tracing so there won't be any issues with the foliage.
I use path tracer a lot of Archviz and some environment stuff. I got tired of having to manually swap between PT and Lumen while building, and dealing with the different way that skylight is handled with HDRI so I made 2 level actors, one for Sunsky, and one for HDRI. They contain all environment stuff, post process, sun light, skybox, skylight, fog, clouds as well as some blueprints that set a big list of Cvars. I have a checkbox to swap between path tracing and lumen, with 2 different quality settings for each, so 4 string arrays containing all the Cvars. Its literally 1 click to swap between rendering modes, and very easy to tweak the Cvars values for more control as they are all exposed. Its all setup in my template so it saves a lot of time starting a new project with all lighting and settings finely tuned and ready to go. I even set up the HDRI version so the skylight gets turned off in PT mode to avoid the doubling of lighting with emissive from the HDRI. The only thing I'm yet to figure out is an auto swap for the glass material between my old RT material for Lumen, and the proper PT glass materials from the same Boolean in the level actor. Maybe I can add a step to my Dataprep recipe that will tag all the objects with that material in a way that the level actor can read, so it can collect them all and swap materials on the toggle, haven't had any success with this yet though.
@@gabetandy I thought about making a video about it, but it takes so long to make video’s, and I don’t have much reach. I’d be happy to upload it somewhere to share it as a basic template file. If you wanted to make a vid about it that would be cool! Its very easy to customise and integrate with projects. TH-cam taught me everything I know about Ue since I got into it at 4.23 so more than happy to contribute something back.
@@michaellillis9897 a lot of people would benefit from something like that! I would suggest posting it on ArtStation and sharing it on the Experience Points Discord server.
Thank you for this tutorial. Never heard about gaea and what it can do. Hope you will make more tutorials, more variant of landscapes maybe, desert, north, jungle etc
Hi, there! One doubt regarding the .jpeg sequence. You would loose a lot of latitude while color grading in Resolve. I would suggest using .exr sequence 32 bit float. This will have more information for resolve. Also, you're video is just great!
I was confused a bit when created MM_Landscape (didn't think about changing Color1, 2, 3 param). Other parts are so good and easy to follow. If you keep this quality, your channel will grow up well.
Your first video is excellent. You uploaded one video 4 months ago. It's the only video on your channel. And you have almost 5000 subs! Bloody impressive. Is this a branch of other things you're doing cause if so, I'd like to go check that stuff out if it's related.
Thanks for watching! If you have any questions or things you want to discuss feel free to leave a comment (:
What Your Pc Specs?
@@supartwi I'm running an NVIDIA 2060 Super, 64 GB of ram, and an Intel i7-9700 cpu
Why for the path tracer did you do 15x50? obviously comes up to 750, but is there any specific formula?
@@owenb6499 I'm not 100% sure the math behind it. I usually just make sure I have 10 or more spatial samples.
@@gabetandy Hi, thanks for video. Do you think this graphics is possible in a game? Could average PC with lets say budget card be able to run this? thanks
Absolutely top notch stuff, Gabe! Love seeing more artists using the pathtracer!
Thanks William!

Wow I think that's the kindest message I've ever received!
Oh wow, this really looks great! At first, I was like "no way, this is a reference photo" then at 18 min mark my mind started blowing off. Kudos, Sir!
Shadow of every grass stalk in game will hit hard my PC's performance. But it looks gorgeous!
One of the most realistic picture from UE 5 so far... congrats !!
Wow, look at how gorgeous that landscape 😮 Unreal Engine 5 is absolutely mind-blowing period.
Its your first video on TH-cam and it looks super professional and easy to understand. Hope you make more tutorials like this.
Thanks Mainak! I plan too!
not quite, there's a lot of stuff he is skipping and it's hard to find out yourself sometimes
@@4747misty_ yes exactly its going a little too fast
after browsing through so many channels. Yours is by far the best. The explaining thod is so great and detailed even complex stuff is

One of the best 3d landscapes i've seen. Thanks
Thank you!
Outstanding work and I was blown away in the lighting segment. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
SUPER GOOD first tutorial, for a beautiful scene. Congrats ! I can't wait to see what you come with next :)
Great video. I am just starting to work with Unreal so this is a bit beyond my skills at the moment. It's amazing how much difference the lighting makes.
Thank you! For sure, lighting is one of the main pillars to making photorealistic renders.
Need more videos like this. Thanks to you I have learned many things and completed my animation which look sooooo gooood....
Awesome, one of the best I have seen. Love that you can actually see the words in the Blueprints. So many are illegible even with me zooming in. Just awesome!!!!
You made it look simple, but the result was amazing, great stuff
Dude, looks so nice I want to go for a walk in it.
Lovely piece of work, Gabe. Coming from using redshift GPU rendering I was hesitant about putting the time into beginning to learn Unreal 5. Your video is a smasher and demonstrates the pathtracer can produce excellent renders.
Thanks Pete! I wish the path tracer was a thing when I starting learning Unreal. I originally came from Octane and C4D.
Absolutely tasteful ! Your workflow logic is lovely ! Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you!
Interesting to see your workflow. I learned some tips here and there. 👌
Well done Gabe, the end result is truly stunning. I learned a lot here, thank you 🤟🏻
Great content Gabe. Like that you showed the whole pipeline.
Incredible tutorial my dude, the production quality is amazing! Keep it up
Thank you for your video. I started yesterday. I been using the free stuff on library so I can figure out the basics first .
This is sick dude, i want to see more i would love to learn about this stuff, thanks !
cool video using path tracing for foliage was a good idea, the lighting looks perfect
Great tute Gabe! Very clear and super helpful. Looking forward to more videos from you!

crazy good, can you think how insane games would look like if we could have this type of rendering real time? ❤
YOU ARE A GOD... NO QUESTION ABOUT IT
I am simply recreating what God has already made :)
HOPING path tracer gets improved woth more features of control. Think it's worth the investment for EPIC. Love the engine!
very very nice Gabe! thank you, you've inspired me to do this myself!
Thanks! Glad to hear it!
Great video! Although i can't understand lansdcape material yet. It would be great to see the blueprint in detail. Thanks!
It's astonishing ! Can I ask you if Path tracing is similar to Lumen or it's lumen itself? That's still a bit confusing for me
Its not really. Corridor Crew has a great video on how path tracers work. Give it a watch!

That's an impressive first upload, very well done. The landscape looks gorgeous.
5 seconds before you said thats a bit boring I was like dude thats sick
Thank you for the great video! How long did it take to render the scene with those settings?
Hey thanks! I think it was around 20 hours

Love the result! How long did it take to render? I'm exploring Unreal Engine for visualization over blender.
Thank you! Around 20 hours to render
Great video! For how short the video is, there is a lot of good information!
Great vid man, looking forward to more.
Incredible video, also the quality of results are top notch. Just asking how much time took to render each frame?
Man the software scares it's terrifying
Love this! Request: beach scene. Thanks!
Thanks for this video. Fascinating insight into game design. 😉
There is a small camera jump at 27:40 in your animation. Its subtle, but its still noticable.
Dang it, hoped no one would notice lol
Great video. I'm even more impressed you got over 3K subs off of one video lol! That speaks to the quality and deserves a tip of the hat.
