Compression or not, this isn't the most impressive UE5 demo out there simply because the quixel team didn't use 8k assets like they did with lumen in the land of nanite. You can squeeze much more out of the tech in realtime, especially on high end rigs and even consoles with optimization and procedural tool like houdini.

I was at GDC and an Unreal guy demoed this to me, I must say it was very impressive, the foliage and lighting look unbelievable, quasi photorealistic.

I really dig how much effort is put into developing the tools. You can tell that the CEO is in fact a programmer at heart. I hope if he leaves that they hire within the development team of the engine. They don't need to pull a Unity.

So while the underlying rules to create a world might always be very similar, the look will drastically change with the use if different assets.

There isn't any obligation to use any of these tools, most teams probably will use them more in backgrounds and the like at most and use actual custom assets in the more focused foreground, or maybe not use them at all so they can get a full style. While I definitely do agree a lot of developers just end up using these assets everywhere they can, I notice it's mostly newer/less experienced ones that just chose unreal engine because it's "the realistic next-gen engine", without regards for other aspects. And then in terms of many procedural things, as mentioned by the other person swapping for custom assets and setting up different procedural rules can have major effects on the style. But of course, there is almost always an underlying look in almost every game engine I have ever seen, regardless of assets used.

I do think we go the other way. One reason games have grewn is banking. Also real world scans. Pseudo real time lighting solve the first problem, and presedual map generation solved the rest. On top of that back in the day (90s) games could be installed with diffrent levels of texture quality. Back then textures was 90-95% of installed game data so if you cut the texture from very high to high the install may go down from 600MB to about 200. Go down to medium and it was under 100. I can se the same happen with nanite, while there is no global LOD there is a sort of LOD equivalent. You don't want a 1.5TB install. Well go down from extreme to very high, and its 400GB.. Still to much, go down to high and its 100GB While that is not a thing yet, I see nothing that would stop it.

@matsv201

Жыл бұрын

@@dovos8572 To my understanding it works like this. Every object have a standard low poly wireframe model. Same as other game, that would be similar to a LOD-0 model. On the LOD-0 there is a higher resolution displacement modifier with a 2 dimensional matrix table. I don´t know if its a 1, 2 or 3 channel table, my guess its that its 2 channel. Normally a wire frame model need to be at least 16, possibly 32bit to have sufficient precision (professional system sometimes also use 64 bits). But if the level under is corrected by the level on top quantification errors, that would be a problem if it was directly addressed. So Nanite can probobly get a way with 8 bit precision with no problem, actually i think it can get away with 4. (the same method is used in the original MPEG codec, so its really not something new). This would be stored in a file with it segmented in different areas. So the deeper information is stored later in the asset. Here is the kicker.. well there is actually two. A matrix grid is to the computer identical to a texture. So the computer handle it as if it where a texture. Actually the vertex data can be mixed in with the texture data as a extra Chanel. There is a few more tricks that can be made. Normally textures are stored RGB and sometimes with a few more channels like alfa or something. But image data can also be stored as YC channel. This is how oldschool TV compresses color information. The reason why it have not been used in gaming prior is due to lack of mixed precision GPU. But now its pretty common, Nintendo Swich have it, and pretty much everything newer. A HDR YC texture could be 16-8-4-4-4-4. Then you would need a additional 8-8 bit for the model matrix. That would give a pixel depth of 56 bit, while that might sound like a lot, that is lower than say a 16 bit HDR RBGI pixel of 64 bit. So your 3 million poly object would be 3M*56bit... 21MB.. yes.. MB.. not GB. The second kicker. Direct storage. Typically less than 1MB of the object would be in RAM. When you get close to it, the GPU read in the rest of the file from the SSD with direct storage. The thing is, you will never see both the backside and the front side at the same time, and really you would probably not even the side in full resolution. So the Direct storage would read in about 7 or 8MB of it when you are totally up close to it. There is still one more kicker. Texture compression. With placing the bits a bit smart, you could fool the GPU that everything is a texture, so then you can use texture compression. Both lossless on the polygon position, and lossly could be used on pretty much all of the other channels. (in theory you could use lossly compression on poligon-possisons as well, but then it get kind of complicated). That would shrink the object on file down to anything from a few MB up to a bit over 10. And also, a stone or a pebel would not be 3 million polygons. There is one more trick that can be used. Because every level of detailed is stored in order. You can pretty much cut the file at any level of detail and just leave it. It would still work.

I hope Nanite brings that much energy when running on a 4010 because the way Nvidia is pricing their GPUs, a 4010 is the only thing most people are going to be able to afford.
