The Carpenter's Cellar -

Link To Project : https://www.artstation.com/artwork/wJvbWZ

A small cellar in the countryside in Sweden, where an older man spends his time doing carpentry. I have created everything from scratch, No photoscans used. except the rusty metaltexture on the "Tool Wall" And the GroundTexture(They are from Quixel). I used Zbrush, Substance Painter And Maya For Assets and Tiling Textures. I have always wanted to have my own little workshop in the basement. I really Like older Environments without modern technology. Environments before I was born. It feels like it was better back then. My goal was to explore Unreal Engine 5. I Have never used Unreal before so it was really nice getting to know the engine and explore its power.

This project is Rendered In Unreal Engine 5 Preview, using Pathtracing. Lumen version in progress for comparison.

In a perfect world we would have the option of switching between legacy and path traced.

In a perfect world we would see a game being the same quality as the tech demo's. It never happens.

In a perfect world we would all come together as one and sing Kumbaya. It never happens.

That doesn't sound perfect. That sounds horrifying.

I was trying to start a trend Bill based on @varkanoid's post (which I agree with). Eg...

In a perfect world you would have followed up with a similar post. It never happens.

Is all down to what consoles can do... or at least willing devs to actually do something more than chase maximum profits.

because the performance would be 1fps

Not going to happen when we have so many with 5+ year old GPUs.

thats not "In a perfect world..." though.

Hence the "It never happens" at the end.

That is impressive, if i didn't know i would say that was a real recording.

That's into the Uncanny Valley. It looks 'off'. Real but not quite real enough. The wood textures for instance.

it also seems to be pre rendered judging by YouTube comments, so not real time - so if a rtx3090 can't even hit 1fps in real time then what hope do games have

Well, leave aside all the rasterization parts, concentrate strictly on RT and perhaps in 1-2 generations that could be doable (at least in SLI).
However, downgraded to Lumen and should be fine.

When if ever will we get that Matrix demo the consoles got on PC? Any news on it?

Yeah that wood texture really doesn't hold up well close up, same for the brick texture/geometry. That is more artistic rather than tech limitation though.

It is a pretty decent effort overall though.

The path tracer in Quake 2 can do this real time, albeit more limited in terms of bounces and caustics, etc. and with some temporal noise with mixed contrast areas due to the limited ray/time budget.
