Photo-realism in Real-time Test | Happy Mushroom
At Happy Mushroom, we've been experimenting with custom high-quality photogrammetry within Unreal. Part of testing is to see how far we have to go until the render has a realistic feel and what else needs to be tweaked in order to achieve realism.
Our buddies at Gold Room Props were kind enough to let us borrow some crates and barrels in order to properly test this.
More Gold Room Props setups and Joshua Tree coming soon!

Unreal vs. Photo ref. Here we tried to match as close as possible the photogrammetry with photo.
Slash view, early test
Part of figuring out Unreal is to compare it to another realistic renderer. I quickly mocked up a scene to thoroughly test how Unreal behaves.

2. PHG asset
3. Set decoration

The stack of props to shoot!
Here we photograph the props so we have great reference within Unreal.
