Epic Games released the new Unreal Engine 5 just last month and already people are making stunning creations with it. One such creation comes from artist Lorenzo Drago who created a video of a walk in a Japanese train station. Watch his video below.
Awesome Unreal Engine 5 video by Lorenzo Drago
I legitimately could not fathom how this video is made completely through Unreal Engine 5 and not something that was shot in real life. The video is absolutely beautiful and slightly creepy with details that look just too good to be true.
Lorenzo Diago explained more about how he designed and produced the amazing video through his ArtStation page.
“I worked on all modeling, texturing, lighting and animation. Foliage is from Quixel Megascans. The environment is running in Unreal Engine 5, lit with Lumen. I didn’t use Nanite, so models are created using the standard low-poly workflow,” said Lorenzo.
“For this project, I wanted to get as close to photorealism as possible. I used camera matching to get accurate proportions and made careful use of reference. I adjusted the measurements afterwards to help with modularity.”
“Aside from detail textures and alphas created from photographs, I created all textures from scratch in Painter and made custom materials in Unreal for use with vertex painting or masks to break up repetition. To shoot the video, I used real-time VR tracking to emulate a handheld camera and flashlight.”
He also says that he will be uploading breakdown videos of how he made his Unreal Engine 5 masterpiece. I’ll definitely be looking forward to that one! You can check out some of the still shots below from the video.
