Overview of this book

If you excel at creating beautiful architectural renderings using traditional software but want to master real-time, interactive visualizations, this book will show you how the versatile Unreal Engine 5 enables such transformations effortlessly. While UE5 is widely popular, existing online training resources can be overwhelming and often lack a focus on Architectural visualization. This comprehensive guide is for both beginners and experienced users offering a clear, end-to-end approach to creating stunning visualizations from scratch as well as managing tight deadlines, striving for photorealism, and handling typical client revisions inherent to architectural visualization. The book starts with an introduction to UE5 and its capabilities, as well as the basic concepts and principles of architectural visualization. You'll then progress to essential topics such as setting up a project, modeling and texturing 3D assets, lighting and materials, and post-processing effects. Along the way, you'll find practical tips, best practices, and hands-on exercises to develop your skills by applying what you learn. By the end of this book, you'll have acquired the skills to confidently create high-quality architectural visualizations in UE5 and become proficient in building an architectural interior scene to produce professional still images.

Post-Processing Images

In the traditional CGI pipeline, post-production holds the utmost importance as it significantly impacts the visual appeal of an image. While it has become somewhat simpler lately, it still contributes to at least 50% of the image’s power. This phase occurs after the rendering part and involves using external software such as Photoshop or Nuke, as well as dedicated controls within the rendered frame buffer to adjust lighting, exposure, color grading, and effects such as bloom and glare. However, traditional post-processing takes place after the render computation is complete.

Similarly, in Unreal Engine, we have the post-processing phase, which is not so different from the post-production phase that’s done in other software. It is used to control exposure, lens effects, color grading, depth of field (DOF), vignetting, and many other controls. The key difference is that Unreal Engine performs all of these post-processing operations in real time...
