Knowing China I kinda figured they literally built a second Shanghai elsewhere in China without me hearing about it until this video haha
China has countless cities like Shanghai
Well they are doing it with Honk Kong so why not.
Robin Clower same
They have cloned so many world famous sites that I thought the same
@@illusory9579 I don't know what you mean by this statement. China has dozens of cities with supertall structures. But none are remotely similar to Shanghai. If China has countless cities like Shanghai, then once you've seen a suburbanised city in North America, every other one also looks the same (same shops, same style buildings, same look & feel, etc.)
Plot twist: This is early footage of city skylines 2
They need to hurry the hell up lol.
I can't wait to make a traffic nightmare with better graphics!
Beat me to the punch
I thought this was all City Skylines
ingest a sachel of richards “one more bus line will fix all of this, I swear”
Cant wait
what Cities Skylines 2 should be
That would be a class game
@@bigjuicypotato1482 Imagine having a complete loving model of your own city in the game and then expanding it with new roads, housing developments etc.
Not a single computer would be able to handle it unfortunately
@@benjaminbaker6410 Wait until technology develops enough. Give it 10 years or so.
@@GeographyWorld High crime rate? BULLDOZE!
Imagine if they made this and forgot to press save
We've all been there.
Waiting for this to hit 1000 likes.

I’ll smash the computer into ashes

The next unreal engine is huge.
Talk about taking Microsft Flight Sim to the next level!
Nothing here is really unique to Unreal. Any game engine could do this, the exciting thing here is the work being put in by the people, in creating code and assets, and developing the workflows and data processing.
Unreal is just a game engine. "Used unreal to do thing" is a bit misleading, yes, it was used, but so were drones, satellites, custom software etc.
As for flight sims, the new one models the whole damn planet, but arguably the most exciting part isn't even that, but actually the weather and aerodynamics simulation it brings. The cloud rendering in the new one is unbeforeseen.
@098765 Craper That's debatable. The only unique advantage unreal currently has, is ninite rendering. And that has yet to be widely applied. Cryengine, Fox engine, Decima, Unity, Frostbite, all have their drawbacks and advantages, and all of !them support all the typical game rendering technologies like normal maps, PBR materials, parallax etc. Cryengine specifically already has geometry scaling "similar" to ninite, has for a long time. Parity between the main engines maintans fairly well.
The new flight sim uses Asobo Studios in-house game engine along with Microsoft's Azure AI, not Unreal unfortunately. But yes the new improvements in Unreal engine 5 are huge, if thats what you meant.
Microsoft Flight Sim sounds like it could be TikTok's new name
I know what we can do with the virtual copy of Shanghai! DLC maps for GTA 6!
You read my mind....
or cities skylijes...
That would be fucking amazing!!!
Rock* doesn't want to do cities outside the US anymore i think.
@@jody024 I don't think they've ever done outside cities except for a very small UK thing in one spinoff.
I'd love to see a GTA Hong Kong. It's perfect, especially with the political problems. It will take place in the fictional city of Long Dong and feature driving on the left and governmental corruption and more.
People living in Shanghai simulation:
"How do we know this isn't a simulation?"
Because they do not live in india
If climate change suddenly disappears, it’s a virtual world.
Black lung disease, bruh.
Dead giveaway.
Hahha
How? I gotta go to work everyday. That’s how.
Best channel on youtube for any architecture student.
Thank you B1M🙏
Oh no really we didn't know this
We all know this bro

@heeta saliya the richest is the best channel not B1M😪😪
I hope this tech is eventually used with city builder games like the architect Paris, cities skylines, etc.
Unreal Engines never disappoints when making things to look just like real and creating simulations that has the landscape looks actually real
Come on Rockstar, buy that data and give us photorealistic Grand Theft Auto: Shanghai !!
im sure they are more focused on creating more gta online content for gta 5 right now
so Rockstar can make a photorealistic Sleeping Dogs
No I don’t want gta in Shanghai keep it in California
@@hassooonnn6504 ew cali is trash 3rd world city now everyone is drug addict and sleep in street 🤢🤢
@trash. los angeles or whatever is shithole place...🤢🤢🤢 china city tier 1 is best in the world , even small city like dali the hidden gem its so beautiful with classic culture
This is actually far from a "clone" of the city. I live on the exact street at 1:13 (新华路 Xinhua Street), and there is nothing alike in the model comparing to the real world. In fact, the model looks more like Tokyo than Shanghai. So apparently, this technology is still in a very early phase. Interesting video like always by the B1M though!
Now that you mentioned, you are right! Look at the bus stop sign at the right at 1:13, it is the bus stop sign in Hong Kong 😂!
I do wonder how accurate the Chinese government allows this to be of it is accessible from outside the country. Google maps of China for insurance are famously incorrect by not reflecting real GPS coordinates and also containing other intentional errors.
Funny, I also live nearby and can recognize the spot instantly. You can’t take what the B1M said to serious. As if they have a 100% digital twin of a city, it’s natural to use existing 3D objects like signs, benches, etc. to instead of creating all from scratch. That’s why they might have recycled the bus stop sign from HK. Also the real value of such a model is not the exact graphical representation of the real world ...
Well when things happen in the real world in an area the virtual world will follow. For now there is no need for detail for places out of their scope.
From what I gather the technology is rather similar to the one use in Microsoft flight simulator 2020 where a lot of area is AI generated. So it probably face the same limitation.
*Next* : GTA Shanghai city

Did you mean *Sleeping Dogs* ?
I would buy a PS5 to play that
NO
This is the closet Imma get to enjoying the world during quarantine
fligjt simulator
Upgrade your computer and get flight simulator
You know you can go outside right?
Why are you still quarantining is the real question
Lifeisgood72 Where are my legs that’s a good question
Gonna tell my kids this was city skylines.
Being a computer engineer working in images and video processing ! The computation can really really take a beating nowadays! The amount of computation power required for this is unimaginable two years ago.
Urban planning has hit a new level in 2020, this technology is really exciting!
Ah, some good ol' urban planning and geographical information at work. Fascinated with mapping and architecture layouts and this channel tends to give me at least one, if not both pleasures. Thanks for posting.
this actually makes sense to do, microsoft flight simulator did this with the world but having scale cities for optimization is a good tool
I love how I learn so much by watching B1M videos. There may be viewers who have heard about city cloning but I certainly didn't know and now I know. So thanks B1M
As with the city models you shared on More B1M, I think these will only be useful to very large companies / governments due to cost.
That said, they look amazing and I'm interested to see where they go from here!
I remember as a kid in 2007, going on google earth and being wowed at the fact i could zoom in and see a fuzzy pixelated picture of the roof of my house. I fantasized about the prospect of a fully 3D, detailed view of the real world that you could explore like a video game. But I never thought it would become reality this quickly. The rate at which technology is advancing blows my mind.
I miss traveling. Been to Shanghai three times.
3:33 Haha, Oriental Pearl Tower go Brrrrrr
😂😂😂😂😂
Interesting topic!
Excited to watch this
Your work inspired me to start my own channel
👍👍
Great channel!
Another great video from one of my fave channel!!!
B1M never fails to deliver :)
Wow I did not expect Wellington to be on the list there. Thats pretty cool!
Great vid!
Thank you for this video The B1M.. This is very informative.. actually this channel is worth watching and subscribing..
Thank you!!
人家收钱的，宣传费，何必感谢，这是生意
Omg this is so exciting. Imagine Cities: Skylines using something like this for their future games......
I work with arcGIS and I am astonished with this. I need to learn unreal engine!
What a great innovation and powerful presentation by the B1M!
love this channel, straight to the point no bs
Great video thank you. Just a quick question, how long have you been doing this channel for? I know I subscribed a year ago when you have about 300-400k.
I'm sure they said recently they have been going for 5 years
Shanghai looks like a city I would build in city skylines, just skyscrapers everywhere
Too bad 51World didn’t clone a “free” Hong Kong prior to this year.
@@tobyli52 What? Would it be better if they cloned the internment camps of the Uyghurs in East Turkestan?
Lets just put that aside for now
Brick Life yet they want back rather than staying with the chinese
As a future urban planner, this makes me incredibly excited!
Whoever thought of this is a genius. It's just unbelievable and seems impressive to be able to do this...
B1M is a great channel providing information about the great ADVANCEMENTS going around the world.
They have motivated me to start my own TECH channel on YT.
Thank u very much for motivation 😇😇
Great job, great channel.
Great job
Yaa I alos looking to do the same
Yaa
We shuld support this new channe
This is legit the first time i have not skipped the sponsor section of the vid. This is just too cool to ignore.
China: We digitally modeled the whole of Shanghai
Microsoft: Hold my beer
Always nice waking up to a notification from B1M
Morning!
I hope this tech is eventually used with city builder games like the architect Paris, cities skylines, etc.
Really cool great job Fred!
Love the channel. Would like to see paid promotions announced at the beginning of the video.
*Cities Skylines Players* : Finally a worthy opponent.
Chinese company: clones Shanghai
.....
Microsoft flight Simulator 2020: *WANTS YOUR LOCATION*
Incredible. Imagine pairing this with autonomous vehicles in the future, city-wide management on an unprecedented level
"51World, why did you bulldoze that entire neighborhood?"
"Well, we had a problem with the virtual city. And it turned out the cost to hire the bulldozer was more economical than updating the sim."
Eventually we're going to have GTA style games set in real full scale cities with this sort of amazing tech.
Appreciated that Minecraft was mentioned! 😂
Hey B1M ! How can I get the software form 51WORLD ? I don't know if I just need to install UNREAL ENGINE then I can open this ...? Or Is there have any LINK to get/buy this?
Thank you for this video. I love the way these videos Continue a you educate me.
I work with geospatial technologies like this, and I’m personally deeply concerned about how these capabilities can be used for surveillance, warfare and other nefarious purposes. I can totally see China integrating their surveillance technologies with this and eventually being able to keep track of almost every person in the city, all represented in real time in a 3D model.
I JUST 5 mins ago read a news that some tech firm did the same for London 😂😂 complete 3D model simulation!!!
What news? I would like to read it too. Can you share the link plz? Thanks a ton
Even B1M sponsored content looks classy.
I was literally thinking about something just like this yesterday
1:08 is that cities skylines
I am proud of come from Shanghai, this is a really beautiful modern city. Welcome to travel in Shanghai🇨🇳
Very interesting to see technologies from different industries being used to further modernize others.
I don't get why you would dislike videos like these, i mean he ain't click baiting or anything.
people may not enjoy the content. that is why there is a like / dislike button
@@Brick-Life yeah but then just dont watch it, this show is everything related to architecture
@@Brick-Life he isn't going off topic, and i know y they are there thank you
Okay, that's impressive.
“All of the data is anonymized and facts about individuals aren’t tracked” Are we talking about the same China?
"Aren't tracked"...today....but if the CCP feels threatened in any way by civil activities...down comes the hammer.
I just started watching this video and saw the Singapore Marina Bay Sands building and thought for a moment "That is maybe my favorite modern building" but I then spent 2 hours googling (and reading about) the most beautiful buildings in the world and was floored by some of them. I am also kind of surprised and happy when i realized that I have seen 17 of the 50 of the most amazing buildings in the world with my own two eyes! (again, according to google image search) From the Pyramids to the Pantheon to the Colosseum and Eiffel Tower, Sagrada Familia, Haga Sofia, Big Ben, Notre Dame, Louvre, Buckingham Palace and some others i have been incredibly lucky to witness these masterpieces of architecture and human ingenuity. I realized I want to see the rest of the list. So many places to see, so little time and money to see them!
Could you do some sort of video about the most beautiful buildings in the world, could be subjective of course or could be only of certain categories (modern buildings for example).
Or perhaps just some sort of breakdown of some of the most famous buildings in the world?
Just food for thought!
Unreal Engine is really amazing to work in. I built Chicago and New York and am working on other cities.
Can we appreciate how beautiful this looks.
No, because everything that relates to China must be politicised and there's always an underhanded motive.
According to experts in comments.
Thanos is that you?
@@user-co9bl9wq3o no. That's my brother. We get mixed up a lot

CGP Grey: VR will be a truly new medium.
B1M: here’s a full model of a city, tourism is back in VR.
The last time I was this early China could still build supertalls.
Is it really China cloning Shanghai or that company?
CCP is cloning Shanghai via said company.
Great video, would you please make another one about how this software can be used for old town transformation especially in the developing world?
The best construction channel on TH-cam! 😎👊
Wow, thank you SO MUCH!! 🙌

Like even before you talk 😂 I love your channel very much. Thank you for sharing and I hope to see you one day in Qatar 🇶🇦
"video games are stupid and a waste of time"
china : "NONSENSE ! You can monitor such much stuff with the unreal engine ! I love it!"
Anyway don't talk about sims city, the franchise is long dead, cities skyline took the succession.
Yeah it's called FLIGHT SIMULATOR 2020 😁.. actually, outside of downtown areas, its not that accurate.
The Shanghai model is less accurate than most of Flight Simulator 2020 😂
This is such a powerfull tool in helping good decisions and avoid wasting tons of money! I hope all major cities start following their example.
4:00 "Digital twins in the hands of a private company or a national government, instantly raises questions about rights, ethics, and ownership ..." I was expecting this to be followed up with "... but this being China, it is not given much concern and we're not allowed to talk further about those subjects."
Atleast they're cloning their own buildings now.
This channel is so aesthetic , its almost pornographic.
lul
This is crazy! The first step to a future city
This also has large implications on Augmented Reality. E.g. AR glasses that can place and recall objects in real space anywhere in the city as well as pinpoint exactly where you are down to a specific spot in a room, in a building, in a neighborhood.
I've been living in Shanghai for 7 years. It's an amazing city.
I haven't been there but I know it's amazing despite the Western media, telling me it bad.
They won’t be able to copy the pretentious and stylish lifestyle of charming Shanghai ;)
Absolutely amazing 👏
More on 3d printable homes please ✌🏼
Microsoft Flight Simulator: *"Write that down, write that down!"*
I wanna buy Unreal Engine now
Its free
The big challenge is to keep updating the model as fast as the real city changes! (A city like Shanghai is changing at a quick rate...)
Google Earth: aight imma head out
Somehow China is living in 2070!!
Hyper-surveillance police state? Not the 2070 I want to live in.
RTX 2070?
with a habit of eating everything that has a pulse? i dont think so
@@RuhrRedArmy Hyper-surveillance police state is good
Yes. China is very advance. puts the world to shame except Singapore, Dubai
Amazing and frightening at the same time. Imagine what this could mean for redevelopment plans, and how city planners could eliminate “undesirable” elements of a city through smart planning (and define for themselves what “undesirable” means). Without the proper consideration and incorporation of shared societal values, this could lead to truly dystopian nightmares in the future.
Your approach toward the subject is the type that would stop any and all new technology, invention and so on. This part of the future was predicted decades ago, we are (the planet) actually do things one tenth of the speed. Dystopian? TH-cam or Google is 1,000 times more dangerous and dystopian than city plan like that.
Matrix flexing its muscles! :D
One step closer to having a GTA game where the map is the whole earth to scale, dream game!
When are we expecting a digital clone of the earth?
Microsoft flight simulator?
A virtual tour of shanghai can be made through this.
Of course I’m first to comment I love your channel I love your content keep up the good work
These are the "benefits" of a monoparty government as China is.
