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!

@@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.

This is how AC Valhalla should have looked like. Excellent work.

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'' ???????????

That makes me extremely excited about the games that are to come in the next years.

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 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?

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.

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.

I sure wish I had a powerful PC, so I could view content like this in VR ... one day!

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!

Amazing job, though its always funny to me how a small low fidelity texture can clash so harshly with the high fidelity ones.

looks very good.

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.

Wonderful

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.
