How I Made This Shot in Unreal Engine 5

In this video, I showcase my workflow for creating three cinematic shots. From photogrammetry / 3D Scanning my old, reliable axe, texturing it, and bringing it into Unreal Engine 5 to create a believable forest environment.
I will show you my worldbuilding process, lighting, rendering, and color grading in Davinci Resolve.

    So it's come to my attention that you don't need to disable Nanite on the meshes you use with the Pathtracer. There is a console variable you can use: r.RayTracing.Nanite.Mode 1 This will force the pathtracer to render the best possible fallback nanite mesh resolution. Having done a quick test, the results ARE a tiny bit different. It isn't quite 1:1, but if I wasn't doing an A/B difference test in photoshop, I wouldn't notice. The nanite fallback mesh seems to have different triangulation than simply disabling nanite. But whether or not that is a big enough difference to distinguish, is up to you. Tips like these are why I love this community, always more to learn! Hope this helps some of you! -W

    If you want to have NO difference between fallback mesh and nanite, set Fallback Relative Error to 0 in the Static Mesh Editor Details panel under the Nanite Settings section.

    @@WilliamFaucher Yes, fallback changes the triangulation of the mesh, it can be controlled in two ways. 1. Fallback Triangle Percent - if you set it to 50, the mesh will have half as many triangles compared to the original mesh (same way as the LOD system works). 2. Fallback Relative Error - Even if you have the first setting at 100% it will still reduce triangles. Setting it to 0 disables that reduction and makes the first setting accurate. In my testing the difference is quite large. The default round table went from 4320 triangles to 972 with Fallback Relative Error set to the default value of 1. You can test it in the Static Mesh Editor: Enable Nanite - in Viewport click Show - Nanite Fallback (or use CTRL + N). Change to Wireframe so you can see more clearly and test the two settings.

It's an absolute game changer working in unreal especially with how easily you can switch between lumen and pathtracer. Your tutorials have helped me get over the initial learning curve of unreal and I feel like I'm on my way to creating things I only dreamed of in other software sweets. Can't thank you enough for the time you put into these tutorials.
