Today on Digital Foundry, @oliemack takes a long overdue look at Teyon's exceptional RoboCop: Rogue City. Unreal Engine 5's high-end features are beautifully deployed to capture the original movie aesthetic - and it's excellent to play too. youtu.be/TYli86rF3X8
RoboCop: Rogue City
After 17 years at Epic Games and an intense few years launching Lumen in UE5 with @knarkowicz, I'm in need of a break, so I'm going on an extended leave. Lumen isn't done of course, and work on it will continue, just without me for the time being.
#rtradvances from #SIGGRAPH2023 - presentation on Authoring Materials That Matters - Substrate in @UnrealEngine 5 from @SebHillaire and @kiwaiii is now online - enjoy! advances.realtimerendering.com/s2023/index.ht…
Lighting Artist Ted Mebratu has leveraged @UnrealEngine 5's Lumen and @nvidia's RTX Direct Illumination to add hundreds of lighting sources to a 3D cyberpunk environment: 80.lv/articles/hundr… #unrealengine5 #ue5 #nvidia #lighting #3dlighting #unrealengine #rtxdi #rtx
We have a new Lumen Performance Guide thanks to @knarkowicz and @EpicShaders for this UE 5.2 release. Go check it out! docs.unrealengine.com/5.2/en-US/lume…
Changed my initial car for this bad boy, Chevy Blazer. Car paint need some love yet but I'm happy overall. UE5 x Lumen #lumen #Automotive #UnrealEngine
The Most Photorealistic UNREAL ENGINE 5 Demos from the best artists at the moment. Thanks to @EnfantTerribleM to mention my personal work 🤟 #UE5 #UnrealEngine5 #lumen #nanite #videogames #horror #DeathStranding #inspired @UnrealEngine @quixeltools youtu.be/DmBqIqEAthg?t=…
🚉next stop: texture town! #gamedev #gameart #UnrealEngine #UE5 #lumen
Just gave my old sci-fi project a fresh new look with a relight in Unreal 5.1! Check out the before and after on my Artstation page: artstation.com/artwork/28owwB #3Dart #SciFi #relighting #UnrealEngine #Artstation #SciFiart #gamedev #UE5 #Lumen
Just some more Fortnite w/Lumen + nanite + bamboo trees
Getting back into personal #lighting projects to learn my way around #UnrealEngine Lumen this year, and this Rainy Neon Streets pack was too cool to pass up. Gif showing progress in thread! #gamedev #UE5 #ArtistOnTwitter
Fortnite's Unreal Engine 5 upgrade delivers Lumen and Nanite to all current-gen consoles at 60fps. @dark1x details the enhancements and compares all systems - with @Dachsjaeger bringing us the 'full fat' PC experience! This is a massive video - enjoy! youtu.be/O6GC8TZbJmI

@EpicShaders @knarkowicz Wow. You deserve it! Lumen and all your previous works have really contributed to push the industry. Thanks again for all your knowledge sharing. Have a great break.
@EpicShaders @knarkowicz No, no, you can't do this. This is a proof of you being human, which is unacceptable and misleading at best. So stop pretending to be a human and go back working
@EpicShaders @knarkowicz You did some mighty fine work in those 17 years, enjoy your well earned break!
@EpicShaders @knarkowicz that is great daniel, there is more to life than grunt work. best decision you can make.
@EpicShaders @knarkowicz Lumens great! I look forward to your return, enjoy a well deserved sabbatical 🤘🤘🤘
@EpicShaders @knarkowicz 17 years. Such a dedication. Over deserved indeed. Thanks for all your help for bringing believable reality in a such optimized way
@EpicShaders @knarkowicz You and @knarkowicz are just absolute legends!! Take all the rest you need 💪
@EpicShaders @knarkowicz I hope you enjoy your well-deserved break :)
@EpicShaders @knarkowicz Thank you for all the wonderful work, literally a game changer and major part of my workflow now. Even for non realtime renders.
@EpicShaders @knarkowicz Well deserved break! Enjoy. 👍
@EpicShaders @knarkowicz Well deserved break Dan! What a great run man!
@EpicShaders @knarkowicz So well deserved my man! Thank you so much for all the great chats, openness and patience over the years....I enjoyed it a lot and learned so much from you!❤️
@EpicShaders @knarkowicz I wish you health and an exhilarating new chapter. Thank you for being a part of propelling the Unreal Engine into new realms and making cutting-edge technology accessible to nearly everyone.
@EpicShaders @knarkowicz Enjoy the well deserved break. : )
@EpicShaders Enjoy your break, can’t wait to see what you get up to next! 😄
@EpicShaders @knarkowicz Enjoy your break - well deserved indeed :) Lumen is amazing
