Unreal Engine 5 - Lumen vs Path Tracing
Many have asked me for a comparison between Lumen and Path Tracing results in Unreal Engine 5.
We can see that the light and shadows are very similar but the reflections are what make the biggest difference.
RENDER TIME
The render produced in path tracing took about 4 hours.
In Lumen it took 20 minutes.
The quality gain is often not worth the time lost.
When Lumen produces such good reflections, path tracing will only be used for high resolution still images.
ABOUT THE SCENE
The scene consists of an HDRI Backdrop with a 360 image of a shed, some assets from Quixel Megascans and the VW Fusca 1200 model modeled in 3ds Max for renders in Corona Render.
The materials used are from the Automotive Material Pack.
Rendered using nvidia RTX 2080ti
Scene originally produced for a virtual background of Record's Domingo Espetacular program.
