I'm completely convinced someone at Epic sold their soul to make UE as powerful as it is with version 5.x. It's just insane what the engine can do. Shoutout to the artists who can leverage this ridiculously impressive tool!
This isn’t even its final form! 😉
Tim Sweeney did, long time ago when he took money from Tencent
Tim Sweeney rewrote unreal engine 7 times. So we see here result of 20 years of daily work.
@@zxcqNo, he didn't. The UObject crap is still there, the garbage collector is still there, the BeginPlay that is running on main thread hitching the frame whenever something loads is still there. UE is a VERY old tech dressed in nice (but super expensive and slow) rendering and nice looking tools.
Astonishing, the atmosphere is great! Good attention to details, transports you right into it.
Birka is fascinating, it has ferry and private moorings to visit, a small restaurant and good shop with mannequins and 3d models, a decent enough reenactment village, a long steep walk up through the burial grounds and return past the Christian Era stone cross through light forest. I spent a wonderful day there last summer. Accessed only by boat it is on an island West of Stockholm called Björkö.
Made of wood it fell out of use and was lost to history for a long time. It is said it was the inspiration behind the TV series 'Vikings' home town of Kattegat (although the series was set in Southern Norway and filmed in Ireland).
This is how AC Valhalla should have looked like. Excellent work.
Thanks to shitty consoles, it wont happen for at least another 5-10 years at least.
Would be nice, except we'd have whiney babies crying that they can't get 60fps on their GTX 1060.
I don't get you people. Why ''should'' it have looked like this? Or perhaps it ''should'' have looked like like how Unreal engine 8 is going to look like and unreal engine 5 is the ugly one.
Why blaim consoles? Pc and console hardware, are the same thing. You can't expect for only pc's to excist and no console's for obvious reasons. And console's have a lifespan of about 7 years... And when the console's are made they have good hardware in them. Like PS5 has rtx 2070 strength of hardware i believe. Wich is wayyyyyy better then ps4.
Thats just how it go's. Every 7 years the console's change for newer ones, and you get a new gen of graphics. Meanwhile hardware and other things keep getting better. Pc's get stronger and after 7 years its time to refresh everything again.
How the heck is that ''the fault of console's'' ???????????
consoles suck @@jameswayton2340
@@lolmao500You said "at least" twice...I feel your anger
This is so well made one of the rocks looked like CGI on top of a movie shot in reality.
That makes me extremely excited about the games that are to come in the next years.
This needs more movement of objects floating in the water, and more water movement in general, I think. The boats being absolutely stationary in the water gives away the illusion, they should be subtly moving up and down at least. The water right at the shoreline should be slightly more turbulent as well, even in a calm sea, the area right by the shore would still be relatively dynamic. I also think there should be a bit more atmospheric haze in those outdoor shots, and more indicators of air movement. I think you're going for an eerie, deserted quality, as if all the denizens of the village had only just vanished, and I think a little more haze would ramp up the creepy factor. I think some of the lighting could be tweaked as well. This feels like it was lit to showcase the detail of the 3D environment, rather than to emulate how a camera would see a similar environment in real life. Some of the shadow detail should be getting lost a bit. I also think the sound design could have incorporated a few other elements to make the viewer feel like they were moving through those environments, like footfalls on the planks, etc. This sequence would also benefit from having a character as a point of view observer in the shot, rather than being a first person view. Not even necessarily full shots of the person, just glimpses of silhouette, hands, feet, etc. if you want to maintain the mystery and creep factor. Is the observer a witness to the aftermath of a tragedy, or the cause of that calamity?
Thank you for your input, maybee there will be a V2. Water in Unreal Engine is a bit of a challange 😅 If you have a good water system you recomend it would be very helpful 🙂
@@marcussandgren271 Man, I'm calling BS. Input, schminput - it looks awesome.
Fantastic work, love the realism and authenticity! Good job!
Incredible work, man! 🤩
Please post more of these. It just gave me chills watching it.
You really nailed the roughness levels ! Great work
This is so gorgeous!! Your talent is unmatched ❤ it's giving the exact same vibes as Kattegat in the Vikings show
Wow. This looks amazing! Good job, man.
Insane! I forgot it wasn't real and had to recheck the title of the vid.
Incredible achievement.
Such a great atmosphere! Keep it up bro
Very impressive work, the amount of detail is incredible
I have looked at a huge amount of 3D animations over the last 3 years, and has never seen anything even close to this quality. In addition to the superb technical skills, you have preserved a modesty regarding the eviroment . It is a lot of UE 5 presentations of vikinghouses and boats etc. that are so far from the real thing. A lot of effets and exaggerations are in play that give people a totaly wrong picture about the viking age. I am myself a member of a viking group in Norway, so I have at least an idea what is genuine and false. Hope you will create more of the same stuff! Regards Tor Bertel.
So what do you do in a Viking group
Jeg er med i ei vikinggruppe som heter Olavs Menn ved Norsjø i Telemark. Vi har vårt eget vikingtun og disponerer et vikingskip. Mye aktivitet, også innen film. @@unger53194
@@unger53194they do what vikings always do course
Get cool names like 'tir bertel' @@unger53194
Many shots it looks cinematographic ! Amazing.\
Excellent work !!!
Really nice work. Congratulations!
Beautiful!!!
very impressive, well done
the “raven part” is my favorite, mad respect
Ive just started watching UE5 tutorials, clips like this really inspire me
Really great stuff man. Must have taken a long time to make. I love it.
fantastic work!
heavy stuff! stunning!. *.* :)
Just incredible!
Så jäkla mäktigt!! Galet snyggt!
Heill Odinn! o/
@@daniiltolmachev4630 24/7!!
Impressive. Good job broder :)
Looks so real well done!!!
Holy Mother of CG Gods...
HDRI, skydome, lighting and post-processing volume tutorial is demanded of you, immediately!!! Aaaahhhhhh.......
Stunning
This is awesome. It is indistinguishable from reality!
As long, as no persons are there, it could be filmed reality. Phantastic work! Cudos.
How long did you sit on this?
The crow was amazingly real animated. Perfect!
What were your render settings? I'd love to see a breakdown of the scene. And are these assets made by you or did you source them from somewhere else?
Cinematic!
The fact that this can be a video game is a dream come true.
way to go ! Amazing
Very good job !
Very very very nicely done!
Awesome!
Awesome!!
Excellent 👍
amazing!
Very nice !!
Wow. Well done
Astounding.
Insanely cool O_O
Чувствуется масштаб, пространство.
Wow. Just. Wow.
Perfect 😮
Unreal. Unbelievable. Awesome.
I feel like that guys don't need to wear a helmet at the moment - this is only one unrealistic thing in your work. In my humble opinion :)
Thank you so much. Yeah, I agree that those guys are the weakest elements.
Amazing!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for creating & taking us to a place that some of us wished we existed.
its amazing! How long it takes to create this from scratch?
AWESOME !!!
Thank you!
damn cant wait to play a videogame 20 years from now. and to see what unimaginable things we will be able to do then.
I sure wish I had a powerful PC, so I could view content like this in VR ... one day!
No words. 😮
Why in every nordic/viking scene, are the sky's only gray, throughout 90% of depictions? Fine Work!
In the nordic countries there is like 90% of all days with a gray ocercast ;)
Great SW Legends (EU) crowdfunded movies could be made by this engine!
This is the twilight of the gods! this is godly...can I know where I can stream the music?
Amazing. absolutly amazing. Some minor things mostly about the water that could have been tweaked a little bit more, but overall absolutly amazing. How long did it take to make it?
Wonderful
Super impressive but beginning to wonder but beginning to wonder when these types of advances are actually going to feature in a video game.
Thats awesome and beatiffully natural lighted and shaped!
Such a shame that a a war between the village and troops out of the wood would destroy almost every hardware if the details remain the same 😢
That's amazing!
How did you set up your light?
Mine doesn't look like a cinematic graphic, it looks like a game graphic.
How can I make it look darker and more photorealistic?
use HDRI for lighting
@@VIP-ov1qo Thank you!
Охренеть. Теперь бы ещё в VR это всё засунуть и из своей деревни можно не уезжать)
WOW!
Also great music
Made by Ulf Söderberg, a great composer, search for his music here on TH-cam
@@marcussandgren271 Jesus F'ing Christ... that music sucked and melted/digitized me right into the God damned video. Bravo to that composer.
wow impressive
Good job
Very cool
+1 Sub .Amazing job! Is there a way to test it?
Looks great, but that wooden path has quite a lot of repeating sections. I think it would look even better if it had some organic randomness to it.
Amazing job, though its always funny to me how a small low fidelity texture can clash so harshly with the high fidelity ones.
I thought the Terminator soundtrack was going to kick in any second.
Fantastic work! Is it for sale in UE market?
Photo realism games is the next big thing for graphics. Next gen consoles will probably be pushing a lot of games that look like this to sell consoles. Hopefully pc can get some photo realistic games sooner. Pretty exciting. This is what I dreamed games would be like when I was a kid playing ps1. It's going to be incredibly immersive.
amazing work 🔥
did you used lumen?
Thank you so much! Yes, it is Lumen.
Wow❤
I admit I had to keep reminding myself I wasn't watching a movie....... although this could be used in one...
is this scene for sale in the unreal engine market
This is absolutely beautiful. Where is this game at? We need a game consisting of stories from different Saga's. Take my money please. I swear I was born a thousand years too late.
awesomeeeee, Lumen or PTracing? love the details should taking a long time to finish
Pure Lumen :)
Where do you get those viking asset
Wahnsinn ! 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
meget vakkert
How the multiplayer plays: 🤼♀️
Reminds me of the look of senua's sacrifice
Is this scene available for purchase?
how much time did u spend? seems here is incredible amount of work. like it
About ten days I would say
They should turn that into again
And hire the same composer (Ulf Söderberg).
WOW
this is how games will look like in about 8-10 years
Mighty
YES! SUPERAWESOME!
That looks amazing. The only criticism I would add is that the boats were perfectly still. Boats are never perfectly still. AI is making amazing progress but I don’t think it can understand the complexity of wind, liquid (water) and solid (boat) interacting yet. Give it a week. 😂 I eagerly await the day AI turns gaming engines into reality.
Was that green screened footage of a real crow? As a proof of concept it's fine but it looks kinda out of place. Otherwise pretty solid. Some of the textures were a bit plain, mostly on exterior buildings but you can't have everything.
Yeah, the crow is green screen, and yes it doesn't match the lightning. And I agree with some of the textures. thank you for comment :)
i wonder if we will ever see graphics as good as these in games like skyrim
