The Unreal Engine contains a certain _Unity_ of its tools, I don't think I need to worry about picking a _Game Maker_ any more. I can just start from _Scratch_ .

My hope is that other devs are actually taking note of these features and figuring out how they can recreate them, or something similar, in their own game engines. Unreal Engine is amazing enough that many companies are switching to it rather than developing their own engines in-house, which is understandable. But the last thing we should want is for Unreal to start monopolizing that space. After all, you never know how their business model will change in years to come.

Even VR is closing gaps quickly. Like, really, really quickly. Foveated techniques are about to crash the party, and if UE5x didn't already provide all kinds of benefits, many more are to come.

People outside of the game industry (and even many in it) still don't realize just how big of a deal Unreal's nanite tech is. It will go down as the single biggest "leap" in quality and development optimization in the industry's history. As an artist you used to have to go through a tremendous amount of trouble to keep poly count low and make LOD's which is extremely time consuming, nanite gives you the possibility to eliminate all of those steps. I've been working in the game industry almost 10 years now, and I wish I had this 10 years ago. On another topic they also eliminated the importance of draw calls in Unreal 5, which is often ignored and not talked about, but that alone is another huge factor in game performance and development.

I worked on a similar technique back in the 90s, we called it dynamic mesh sampling but it is essentially the same concept, we used it to simplify models for ray traced rendering. Back then it was just research as the processing power required was beyond reasonable back then. Good to see the concept has now become mainstream, they have done some great work here to get this kind of thing working so smoothly and seamlessly.

It actually makes sense though, to be fair. Nanite is essentially dynamically selecting the most optimal LOD as far as having polygons map to pixels is concerned (ie it tries to have 1 polygon _roughly_ map to a few pixels), so it's able to optimise the poly count on-the-fly to a significantly better degree than traditional LODs. Essentially imagine if you had an unlimited amount of LODs for your mesh, so that the engine is able to select the best LOD and _only_ the best LOD. That's effectively what Nanite is doing, except on-the-fly.

While it looks amazing, yes, it's Unreal so implementation will be super convoluted and likely incompatible with other things that are either already implemented into an existing game, or with certain features or details that you deem more important for your game. Unreal Engine is by far the most Unuser-friendly of the public game engines out there which is why a lot of developers, especially indie developers prefer Unity. Plus Unity uses C# scripting which is much more game development-friendly.

@TwistedSisler

@@leeroyjenkins0 C# was pushed by Microsoft a couple decades ago to be the go to language for indie game development; so much that Unity adopted it as their scripting language as did several other engines. The language has evolved over time with some updates to the framework specifically having game development in mind. As such, there is so much more support, community help, online courses, references, code snippets, etc for game dev in C# than in C++. C++ is technically faster, but not to any degree noticeable by a human or to any degree that would make any significant difference in your game (if it does then more than what language being used should be considered as to why your performance is bad).

​@@TwistedSisler Microsofts decision to create C# did not have anything to do with game development. Microsoft created C# because Java creators didn't want Microsoft to make their own version out of it to fit their needs. The main reason for C# is Web development. While C# can be and is used by some engines, it is NOT the primary use for it. Actually, there is no primary use. C# is just an high level language with potential to program nearly everything in a short timespan. Microsoft did never push any update where game development was a specific focus. While engines like unity are using the language as a script language, the Framework behind it (.Net) isn't even used. I'll be more precise later. C# does not have more community help and online courses than C++. Even tho C# has a really large community, C++ is around a much longer time and still has a large community especially in game development. Most game engines still are working with C++ directly or underneath, like Unreal Engine, Frostbite, Cryengine and even Unity engine itself. C++ is faster than C# when both are in their supposed environment. C++ compiles to native code, while C# is compiled to an assembler like language (IL-Code) and is then run in a framework (.NET) to be just-in-time-compiled to native code while runtime. Also C# uses a system called "Garbage Collector", which manages the memory, more specific the object lifetime, of your application. This way the programmer doesn't have to care about memory management most of the time on his own, which leads to less programming errors and easier programming. The performance comparison between C# and C++ is immense. In some cases C# takes the doubled time of C++ for the same task. In most software application this is not noticable for the user, which is true, BUT it would be noticable in performance relying programs like games. HOWEVER, for an engine like Unity this performance comparison isn't necessary true. Unity has two compilers. Mono and IL2CPP. With Mono it also runs with JIT-Compiler and comes with the performance overhead. In this case it runs in a similar environment like .NET from Microsoft. With IL2CPP C# gets transpiled to C++, and then fully compiled to native code, which cut's out the performance overhead, but can reduce compatibility with 3rd party C# libraries. But no matter which one you use, the C# part only matters for backend scripts, which most of the time aren't the performance relevant ones, even tho it's possible to mess it up there. The tricky and technical part is how the engine works, how it renders different things and how it manages the data it get's provided by the backend. And this part of the engine is written in C++.

Omg game changer 2:51 I’m so excited to get to creating some great environments.

1:08 nanite is used not for displaying "millions of polygons" but for displaying not more polygons than current display pixel count. it's for showing you less not more. the problem with previous engines is they can't do scaling efficiently - if 10000 poly object is far beyond and takes only 2-5 pixels on a screen it's a still 10000 polys to sample. but with nanite in this case it will be reduced to 2-5 triangles only (nanites don't render more than 1 triangle per 1 pixel). 3:14 - that's why you can't "push the limits" of nanites. it's always limited. every single frame is limited in poly count no matter how much high poly objects you shove in a scene. if you render in full-HD it's a 1920x1080 polys max (2million) no matter what.

Reflections and lumen noise were my biggest gripes with 5.0 This update is insane!

Fantastic informative video as always, thanks very much.

27 years ago I was writing articles for Nvidia for a driver section when they were compeeting with 3DFX. After watching this clip I conclude that not so much has changed - same chase after lighting, detail, definitely more things stayed the same than they changed.

The screen space reflections where the state of the art for such a long time in the most games, with the problems that come with it. And now it is a side improvement of UE5.1 to get rid of ALL problems about reflection. This really blows my mind.

Gotta love when someone talks about performance and "gained 5 fps" without showing the fps anywhere on screen or mentioning the overkill hardware they're using.
