You become skilled at the things that only benefit from advancements in technology instead of being a knob operator. Designing shapes that doesn't exist in the real world to be scanned in the first place or working on other stuff that require artistry that can't be solved by algorithms.

It's just all scanned shit. In a few years you wont be able to. I would go stylized now.

Lol, 'knob operator' is the only job that's going to exist by the end of this decade.

By 2030, photorealistic 3D like this will be a case of opening Unreal Engine 6 or 7, loading the marketplace assets for the city you want to render, and playing with parameters for everything from how dirty the average car is are to how fat, brown and gender-nonconforming the average pedestrian is.

Compete how exactly? This is made by many people with different skillsets, it's a team effort. Pick one (main) area of experties and get good at it, then make your own projects as a generalist in your free time.

Apparently Epic Games is going to release all of the assets from the demo (except for the models of Keanu Reeves and Carrie Anne-Moss) for free when Unreal Engine 5 releases this year.

Imagine the movies you could make with these assets.

CGI Photorealism was achieved almost 30 years ago. No "Physical render engines" No SSS. It's not about the tech it's about your artistic skills. Simply try to make your renders look photographic.
It's actually quite easy but for some reason all the 3D software points people in wrong directions all the time with their default settings. They're probably scared of coomers or something.

Tech is still a big part of it. The difference between photorealism today and the one from 30 years ago is huge. You can't be saying they just didn't possess enough artistic skills back then, right?

No they did. The first Jurassic Parks CGI looked more "Photorealistic" than most of the newer ones. Even the daylight scenes did. Same for Terminator 2. Most people today have more hardware power in their work laptops than what those guys did back then, but still fail to create convincing CGI.

Yes, but not most of it. I find it hilarious how "Realism" is such a difficult thing to achieve for most people now 30 years later. Hardware is no longer the bottleneck. Just look at the OP.
Every current 3D software requires people to be knowledgeable in photography, lighting and color grading. Would it be that hard to create a standard for these things? Everything in Blender looks stylized by default.

It looks great until it starts breaking down. It's pretty easy to get some light leaking which completely breaks the scene. But it's still impressive to see what lumen is capable of even at low resolutions. Not to mention nanite which is pretty much flawless at this point.

Looks like there are no shadows under cars in the distance. Makes them feel like they are hovering above the ground. Not sure why they did that.

There are multiple ways to send a Blender-made asset to UE.

You can export to FBX, glTF or ABC and import those into Blender, or you can also use Epic Games' own add-on for Blender that can directly send assets to your UE project.

This shows the add-on working with UE4, but it works pretty much the same way in UE5.

Agree on that one. I’m just not sure if they really missed it or is that some limitation of (current) ue5. I already worked with it, but don’t remember seeing this issue. I haven’t made such a large scene though. I just hope it isn’t the limitation.

It looks like its to do with the size and distance of the object. You can adjust it with some parameters in this thread https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/shadows-disappear-with-increased-camera-distance/4690
I imagine performance gets impacted but I bet with some custom simplified shadow meshes, it wouldnt be a big deal. I definitely think its a time thing. A lot of things in this demo seemed rushed. I think this was meant to show people what you can do with UE5 more than its supposed to be some master piece.

Tinting is not art direction 99% of the time, its hiding obvious flaws with excessive vaseline on the lense, but its either piss, poo, ocean blue or algae caked on. Its the lens flare of the cinema, the "i was cheap to make" stamp.

Whoever hacks their PS5 can certainly do it. The game is also on the Xboxes, but those are rock-hard boxes, they're not going to let a single anon run their own code with high enough privilege to copy game files plaintext. Best hope is to exploit The Matrix demo over the network and ROP your way to send those files over the network. good luck finding useful code gadgets when you can't even look at the code LOL
PS5 has already been hacked by failoverfl0w I think, they just keep their methods private (for now)

I was going to say "good luck even seeing any network activity from The Matrix demo", but I forgot that baseddevs love to make their software send bug reports and other telemetry shit. Still, these consoles have been giving a hard time for game preservation. It's a miracle that Sony managed to give themselves a security posture that is 9000x worse than PS3, otherwise the PS4 wouldn't be hacked as many times as it was.
