With increased performance and better-than-ever engines and tools, many video games today offer an increasingly realistic graphics experience. A 3D artist shows that you can get more out of it. Using the Unreal Engine, create an environment that is almost indistinguishable from reality.
Unreal Engine 5: The video shows what you can get from the program
The 3D environment artist theme leaves netizens speechless. He released a video of it Replica of a train station in Toyama, Japan Shows – Created with the Unreal Engine 5 from Epic Games.
