Here is the final version of the Unreal Engine 5 Tech Demo “Temple” recreation in Unreal Engine 4.25
https://www.dsogaming.com/videotrailer-news/here-is-the-final-version-of-the-unreal-engine-5-tech-demo-temple-recreation-in-unreal-engine-4-25/
Two days ago, we informed you about a recreation of the Unreal Engine 5 Tech Demo in Unreal Engine 4.25. This “remake” attempted to recreate the Temple environment from the Unreal Engine 5 demo in Unreal Engine 4.25, with real-time ray tracing. And today, 3D Archviz Specialist, Pasquale Scionti, shared a video from the final version of this project.
Unfortunately, Scionti does not plan to release this map to the public. As the artist noted, he recreated this environment for portfolio purposes. As such, we won’t be able to run this custom level on our systems and compare its performance with the one for Unreal Engine 5.
Furthermore, this project does not aim to recreate the entire tech demo. Instead, the artist focused on the Temple area. As Scionti stated, Unreal Engine 4 cannot come close to what Unreal Engine 5 achieves.
