Nice one, but i do prefer the graphical look of the Unity engine, over UE for train games.Yma O Hyd -
Thanks very much for your comment, Although I do have to question how Unity gives a nicer look!? Any examples? ..... I might be misguided but compared to the graphical detail and expandability of UE5 I have although though Unity looks a bit, well, basic! Oh well......Comment

Unreal is much more powerful than Unity. Personally I've dealt more with Unity as a balance of power over ease of use in the workflow. Of course the more detailed you have, the more time and effort is required in making it look. Good to see you have real world data automated as I've been looking at a similar process.
Will certainly keep an eye on this.
Thanks

Many thanks, much appreciated, there's a lot of things Id like to try and do, IE proper photogrammetry for inside cabs etc. I might have to post additional details will show the level of detail it goes to, IE ballast is all 3d, by that I mean individual pieces almost, IE I dont use a bumpmap etc, nanite handles it all well. I cant really comment on Unity.. as I have never used it, and it should be said that in places like where I work, Unity is the more promoted software, although Im trying to change that!Comment

Just looked at simrail, yeah looks nice mate, but TBH that look could have been achieved I reckon with UE5 if Id have chosen that look. It does look however less detailed when it comes to the environment. I mean at the 21 second mark the station stairs and platform look pretty bad in my opinion! Also, almost everything has been done using textures / bump mapping, and by looks of it displacement mapping, mines real geometry. Heres some pics of a diff area of mine ....Comment

Sorry - just realised when I said 21 sec mark reference I didn't say that was just a random YouTube clip I was referring to, so it wont mean anything to you , sorry!!! Also admittedly SimRail whilst looking pretty decent probably also runs smoother than mine!Comment

Yeah piccies look great. Are you planning to actually make a fully working railway sim and release it.
Or is it just a private project ?

Thank you for your comments, it is much appreciated. Its neither really!
Basically I work for a Civil Engineering Company and I/m trying to push us using this technology, its to a high level of detail, even down to the slight level differences in individual copings!
Theres a lot more going on than people might know, thanks to Unreal 5, for instance, accurate star and moon system when the sun goes down!, puddles form. All clouds are fully volumetric, totally adjustable in every way (and controlled via the integrated weather system), they are not just a pretty bitmap background.. they exist in the model like everything else. All vegetation blows in the wind (every leaf & blade of grass). Full weather sound effects too! Heres some more pics to!WS3.jpgWS4.jpgWS5.jpgComment

Well I think it's brilliant....you are certainly doing a fabulous job with it.

Hey thanks very much!!! Good on him!!Comment

I love the graphics, but that has to be taking some pretty massive power of a system with all those elements. I don't think my midgrade PC could handle it unfortunately.
Thanks

This is why I like Unreal over Unity! - Check out this link - it shows you the power of nanite.
