    Yeah I thought they were really out there until yesterday when they interviewed some Team GB medalists and said how was it like since they came back and thought what!!! Though I did have my suspicions about a week ago when they showed it getting dark in Tokyo when it was only about 5pm and thought that isn't right!!!

    Getting the perspective right from the different cameras which are moving, and all done live, is incredible. I also noticed the virtual world also takes inputs from the real world, like when a presenter should be partly behind a virtual object, it is rendered correctly.

    Pretty cool use of the tech, I'm glad Unreal Engine is getting used more outside the games industry. That being said, hire some more competent environment artists next time, the interior looks like a student piece. The tiling of the wood beams is super obvious, they haven't offset the texture when repeating the beams and there is no imperfections. Nothing in real life looks that 'perfect'. I think this could have looked a lot better and I expect future uses of this will eventually be nearly indistinguishable from real life except by a trained eye. I'm an environment artist and work in Unreal Engine for a living, so perhaps I'm in the minority of people who noticed this stuff, but I thought I'd leave the critique regardless.

    I think we're already at a point where (for a mostly static environment) the current Unreal Engine can produce a nearly photoreal result - while UE5 is impressive there isn't anything Nanite or Lumen are doing that a virtual studio like this one would really _need_ that UE4 can't produce. But as you say, and as is often the case in gamedev anyway, the issue isn't the technology it's the art. I suspect a team of experienced AAA environment artists could take this exact setup BBC have created, and create something with noticeably higher production value without increasing any of the technical requirements.
