Not sure why OP didn't link to this, as it appears to be the video version of the feature reel:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5aIsgzwNPE

I've been out of gaming and this kind of scene for far too long, but I was amazed by the lights reflecting off the scooter wheel arch. (I don't know if that's new or not, but it's new to me).

Either way, amazing work, best of luck!

Edit to add question: Is the video linked above rendered / captured in real-time?

Hey cool I'm surprised you found it. With the latest engine version I switched to using static images since it's a lot easier for people to quickly look through. Some improvements have been made since the video and I want to redo it once better image smoothing has been implemented.

And yes! The video was captured in real time on an Nvidia GTX 1060.

(I'm an old man who prefers reading physical books over electronic ones, but I do think that video demonstrates "things" better, especially if it demonstrates the realtime rendering that's a selling point of the engine - and the "kids these days" consume video like it's a breathing-level bodily function)

Looking forward to seeing improved versions.

I'm tipping you've got a pretty bright future!

I decided to add the video link to the readme after you brought this up. Maybe it's better to have it for anyone who prefers it.

Thank you. I enjoyed the video, and it did a great job of highlighting the visual features you achieved!

Impressive! Images AND video is also an option.
