Background

After seeing the incredible power that is real time virtual production with modern game engines, I realised that this is the future of video production. In this project i set out to find the answer to the question "How do you produce photorealistic video virtually in UE5?"

Virtual production

Producing video virtually is one of the best things I've learned in a while, the capabilities are endless. Below you can see some images from the process, and a couple of the environments i built. Some of the issues i had was making the boats float in a natural way, and rendering photorealistic clouds.
