Worth pointing out for HN that Epic should soon release a significant update to UE4 so you won't need to download UE source and emscripten (like you do now) and can just export to webGL, like you were packaging for Windows / Android / iOS etc. It's in QA right now. So soon you could wander around here instead of playing the video. Source is the UE YouTube channel on Thursdays.

If you're into creating stuff on a computer and feel like a break from programming, UE4 is great fun.

If you want to do archvis lighting like this, check out koola's scenes in the forums and the Berlin Apartment which is free in the marketplace.




Yes, you could walk around in it if you wanted to wait for 4gb of textures to download.

I'm happy they thought to make a youtube link.


Berlin Flat, which is comparable, is 600MB. And that's the full project, no mobile optimisation.


It's a shame they only uploaded it at 720p :(


And 60 fps.. that was almost painful to watch.


> painful to watch

How so?


Without any motion blur at all the jerkiness of panning in the video is tremendously apparent. If you're a gamer used to 60fps in this engine, this hurts the eyes in the same way listening to a symphony through laptop speakers hurts the ears.


UE4 is tons of fun indeed. Blueprints are surprisingly powerful.
