Unreal Engine - Wow!
🕑 Added 2021-06-11 07:04:16 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
I hope you had a great week!
Mine was very busy because of a Motion Capture Gig that came up on short notice (not 3dx). But I did have time to play around with Unreal Engine 4.26 and I have to say: WOW!
I really just scratched the surface but I can already tell that I love Unreal :) I am going through some basic tutorials for landscape, foliage painting etc. and I am constantly stumbling over features and how things are handled in Unreal (compared to Unity) that are just amazing. Working with Unreal feels how it´s supposed to be: focusing on content creation without having all those troubles we had so far with Unity. It feels like being freed from chains if you get what I mean :)
I was going through some assets that I already own or that come with Unreal and started painting some foliage in a very simple test scene. And not only does everything look better (antialiasing, in general how light is handled) but the performance is like 3-4 times as good as in Unity! When I paint like 1000 Trees the performance is still so much better than in Unity...It's amazing :)
There are so many things that "just work" without having to struggle with them. Just to name a few:
- Very well designed Landscape authoring
- Very well designed foliage painting
- Very well made antialiasing
- Wind for foliage
- Volumetric Clouds
- Volumetric light (god rays)
- Day of time changes that look... simply amazing
- Material/Shader editor is so intuitive
- Lens flares! Unity has not managed to get that working for years! It's still not supported out of the box for HDRP. I love lens flares! Especially for the sun :)
- MINDBLOWING PERFORMANCE!!!
We will not work with UE5 yet because it´s not ready for productions (yet) but already UE4.26 is so good that I never want to go back to Unity.
I am so glad we are making the transition and everyone will benefit. We, because the content creation is with way less headache and you because you can enjoy better graphics.
We will re-create the Island from EP5 (just way better looking) and then create a test-build for you in the coming weeks where you can just run around and test the performance. I am sure you will love it :)
But we won't recreate EP5/6 in Unreal, that would be way too much work and we want to focus on something new ;)
Alright, that´s it for this week! There are great things ahead and I can't wait to learn more and more about Unreal Engine.
Have a great weekend!
All the best,
PM & Team

For both. We will completely switch from Unity to Unreal.
Dorio
So you will change into Unreal Engine in both Animation and game? Or it is just a game.
Puppetmaster3dx
I am pretty sure that will all look a lot better in Unreal :)

Threaded wrong, seconded the comment about cumshots

Second that, I know you've heard it already. Also the bright teeth showing in their mouths takes me out a bit. But loved the new movie. Great dialogue and camera work. Tension between Trinity and Marcia was fire.

I’m honestly glad you’re not going to re-do EPs 5 and 6. They’re done. They’re in the past. And honestly, they look great considering the restraints Unity put on you. But now it’s time to move forward. I’m sure EP7 will be amazing.

I really really hope so! I am already writing all kinds of people if they can help with that. No positive answer so far. But I am sure we can figure something out. That is on the very top of my "what to improve" list
Oh boy… these next two scenes are going to be something to clear extra space on the hard drive for lol… keep up the wonderful work Team PM and all the actresses
Yooki
Is there any chance the fluid simulation for cum shots will be improved in the new engine?
Puppetmaster3dx
We already did the best we can optimizing EP6. And got help for that from several people. I'm afraid that's all we can do. It's a Unity Issue. But the movie version looks like the game version. You can just customize it.
Woozie Yu
Will EP6 get optimization? My RX 480 really can't handle it and the video version looks weird to me.
Puppetmaster3dx
Yeah but we have a lot of expertise in Unity that's why we hesitated to switch. But better late than never :)
Puppetmaster3dx
Yeah that would be way too much work because it´s not new. And we really want to focus on new things now ;)
UltimateKisame
That's why I never wanted to work with Unity and went straight to Unreal. You will see that the result is simply wonderful, I want to see the girls version UnrealEngine.
Kraig
Sad to hear episodes 5 and 6 won't be redone in Unreal. But can't wait to see what you come up with for Ep 7!
Puppetmaster3dx
thanks :)

Puppetmaster3dx
Oh yes! And it will look really great :)

Looking forward to making one of your lovely ladies run around an island like Far Cry: Futa Edition haha
