Do you think it will work to just translate a huge 3ds Max / Vray interior scene directly into real time with Unreal Engine 5 (and Datasmith)? Check out the video to find out!
I have used 3ds Max / Vray for a very long time, but lately I have found myself really loving the possibilities of real time, specifically in Unreal Engine 5. Being able to quickly translate a scene into a game engine has been incredibly valuable, and that is exactly what Datasmith is meant to do. But, does it always work? How well does it translate? These are things I aim to find out in this video. By watching, you can see the full process, and also potentially troubleshoot some of the more common issues.
This is Part 1 of hopefully many videos following this project, which I'm calling Gable House. In this one, I am just trying to transfer my Vray project into Unreal Engine 5 via Datasmith. Later, I have lots of plans for this project inside of Unreal Engine, so stay tuned for that and make sure to subscribe.

FULL DESCRIPTION
Follow along in this video as I attempt to take a professional Vray interior directly into Unreal Engine with basically no adjustments. I use Datasmith for this process, and it usually works quite well, but I'm not sure on a file this big. Once I have it in there, I am going to explore making interior scenes look really good inside of Unreal Engine. I'm hoping that making things really nice with Vray will give me a big head start. That is assuming that everything translates nicely. Check out the video to see exactly how it goes, and stay for the results at the end. Subscribe for more of this project.
