Product Photography in Unreal Engine 5 [4K] [RTX]
Or: 'How to Peter McKinnon in Unreal Engine 5'.
Real-time product photography/videography rendered and animated in Unreal Engine 5! This was a fully RTX scene, with ray-tracing Global Illumination and RTX reflections used instead of Lumen and Nanite. Rendered on an RTX 3060.
Inspired by Peter McKinnon’s iconic product photography videos: • Product Photography You Can Taste

Loved the vibe of those and wondered if I could try it out in UE5 – turns out – you can! As a side note, I am an industrial designer by training – so product renders and animations are pretty familiar territory – but standard product rendering can often have a tendency to be a little bland – orbit shots and exploded views on plain grey/white backgrounds … it can get quite dull. So it’s always nice to throw a bit of spice and style on those when you can…
As a bonus – this was a chance to fine-tune my RTX skills – it’s shocking how close real-time ray tracing has gotten to actual path-traced lighting. Check out my Artstation (https://www.artstation.com/artwork/r9...) for a more detailed comparison of this scene using both Unreal’s path tracer and with RTX lighting.
