Demonstration footage of Unreal Engine has been released by Epic Games four days ago, as it sparked off quite a lot of interest in the eclectic gaming community. Impressive next-gen visuals are showcased in the footage as the first footage that was shown has been confirmed to be the PlayStation 5 that is very much compatible with some new technologies that are rather grand.

Luckily, Epic has got a lot of things to say regarding the footage that was recently released. For example, some of the most important chief engineers like that of Tim Sweeney who has been in one of the interviews with Digital Foundry of Eurogamer has got a lot to speak about the footage with immaculate precision. ‘Interestingly, Unreal Engine 5 Demo Renders At About 1440p Most Times’ VP Of Engineering, Nick Penwarden.

The question that arises would be as to how the rendering results play out on PlayStation 5 for the demo of Unreal Engine 5. According to Nick Penwarden, who is the Vice President of Engineering is mainly showing 1440p almost all the time.

Some of the interview excerpts are as follows:

According to him, it goes very well with the dynamic resolution technique. As the load of GPU gets high, the screen resolution can be lowered a bit, and then one can adapt to it. In the demo for Unreal Engine 5, the dynamic resolutions are used but it ended up rendering mostly 1440p.

What will happen to the platform on the PC?

Another question that is raised is that where these recently made updates are going to leave the platform of PC. This is because it has been stated by Tim Sweeney that the storage architecture for PS5 is way ahead of anything that is there on PC.

Apart from that, it has been suggested by the Chief Technical Officer of Epic to PC Gamer that the demo for Unreal Engine 5 would be run by RTX 20170 with quite an impressive performance. Technically speaking, the graphics card of NVIDIA can exhibit teraflops values that are low nominal when it is compared to the PS5 that is 9 vs 10.28. which is a real improvement on their part.

It has also been stressed by Tim Sweeney that in the statement that followed during the Digital Foundry interview that brought the awesome delivering capability performance to the awareness of PC SSD.

The excerpts from the conversations between Digital Foundry and Tim Sweeney are as follows:

To render this level of detail, several different components are required. An incredible amount of geometry is drawn by the GPU architecture and GPU performance that has been the talking point and a large number of teraflops are needed for this. Another thing that is required is the capability to efficiently steam and load. The biggest effort that is unleashed and has been still going is Unreal Engine 5 which is optimizing now for the storage of next generation so that the loading can be made faster by current performances that are multiple in numbers. It is very fast and not a little fast as the geometry could be brought in and displayed and not in the fitting memory as the SSD architecture of the next generation has been taken advantage of along with others. The pioneering is done by Sony with the architecture of Play Station 5. The storage system had God-tier which is more modern than the PC. Awesome performance can be expected on a high-end PC with NVMe and SSD.

Some of the key features are interestingly confirmed by Sweeney that is available all across the platforms of the next generations.

Render Everything your Eyes Sees:  The REYES

Based on the founder of Epic, an idea has been realized that comes from the past.

The philosophy behind the Render Everything your Eyes Sees: The REYES comes from way back in the 1980s. The acronym is very funny which means with the available details that are given are essentially infinite; the job of Engine is to determine what pixels are exactly needed to be drawn to display the fact. All the 10 billion polygons should not be drawn in every frame as some of them are smaller than the pixels. An approximation is rendered by it as none of the details are missed that are perceived and once you reach the point, the geometries are done away with. Nothing can be done about it. If more polygons are rendered, it would not be noticed because each pixel gets a contribution from it infinitesimally on the screen.

During the demo of an Unreal Engine 5, hundred and billions of polygons were displayed according to Epic. A question that can be asked is what is the secret for the technology of Nanite? A simplified explanation is given by Nick Penwarden.

A single triangle for a pixel is effectively aimed to be rendered by Nanite and that is the secret to it so as we move to that level of detail the ongoing changes that are happening in LOD are quite imperceptible.

This implies that high-quality assets will now be imported by game developers like the arts that are film-based into Unreal Engine 5 and both the streaming and scaling are helped by and everything happens without significant loss in real-time.

The development time would be saved considerably as managing the polygon, drawing count budgets, and tweaking of LOD are eliminated by this procedure. Other interesting facts are that the remakes in times are not needed by the same assets when the game is ported down to the platforms of the current generations. It implies that everything will be managed by the engine.

Lumen

In the end, during the demo of Unreal Engine 5, a dynamic Global elucidation that reacts spontaneously to scene changes and delivers indirect lighting that is exact and accurate at a scale from Km to Mm is called Lumen.

It has been tweeted by Geoff Keighly that it has been confirmed by Kim Libreri of Epic Games that the demo of the new Unreal Engine 5 is a game code that is life and one can play it on the development system of PlayStation 5.

It has been stressed by Kim Liberi of Epic that the secret of the temporal accumulation component is as follows:

According to him, the temporal accumulation happens to be a huge part so that things may look good as the anti-aliasing is more normal than temporal. Without temporal intelligence, the Global illumination cannot be done on hardware as of now. They are amplifying the understanding of how the temporal can be of help. There have been many quality improvements because it has got a temporal component. It is the same way that is followed for getting close to a movie rendering without any samples. The GI is not going to work near it but it may work without it as the screen space samples are not pure necessarily so a lot of things can be done to accumulate things temporally.

Although, Digital Foundry has been told by Epic that for tracing engine support, hardware rays are used it has not been displayed on the new demo of Unreal Engine 5.

Whether the rays are traced or not, the technology that has released off late, is giving a taste of graphics for the next generation, by using these methods in the games that actual and real.

For more reports, stay tuned on the latest that is happening in the graphics technology.
