Consider that this is a kind of tech demo, means that Unreal Engine 4, being a game engine, is built to manage multiple aspect ( physics, characters movement and logic, enemies logic, particles and so on ) The video shows how good is UE4 with lighting and "atmosphere", but the you actually build your scene as a game you need to do lots of compromises... Cryengine 2 was used as well for archivz and the results were stunning, and lots of companies get a license to develop just that...
The main issue that I found right now is that if you want to share or send the work to your client ( as a walkthrough I mean ) you have to send ( and install ) a 1-2gb file, which most clients are not so comfortable with...otherwise you can just render a video with it...the main advantage is that you don't wait 5 minutes per frame, but just a couple of seconds. Anyway this engine looks amazing and the constant updates are improving it more and more 2014-08-22 23:18 GMT+02:00 Cristobal Infante <[email protected]>: > Some more in his work in kotaku: > > > http://kotaku.com/next-gen-lighting-is-pushing-the-limits-of-realism-1625324795?utm_campaign=Socialflow_Kotaku_Twitter&utm_source=Kotaku_Twitter&utm_medium=Socialflow > > And also a while back this Swedish apartment was done in Unreal > (previously done in octane).
