What's your point. Unreal has literally dedicated tools to port any engine into it with all its bullshit.
Moreover, unreal is literally a picture engine. Every, fucking, time, anyone presents something made on unreal it looks amazing in pictures, photo realistic graphics, but the second they start playing that it immediately reeks of the exact same slop that you've seen countless times.

>>713874105

>>713870919 (OP)
Right has a low resolution baked lightmap. You wouldn't get that effect in UE unless you really tinker with the settings.

>>713874962
NTA and you're right, but holy mother of fuck does it run like ASS.

>>713870919 (OP)
Left one has no sharp shadows which indicates lumen is being used. Right one has sharp shadows, low shadow map resolution and you can tell it uses point lights by how the light illuminates the wall in an unrealistic way(light source is square, shadow on the wall is rounded).

Left is UE5, right is GoldSrc.

>>713871124
kek

>>713876193
I don't think there are any point lights in this scene. HL light maps are low res but they support the use of emissive textures.

>>713876926
Sorry I meant to say spot lights, not point lights, otherwise the ceiling would be lit, but you're probably right. I didn't know you could use emission for lighting in goldsrc.

>>713870919 (OP)
Left has gl_overbright enabled which is emulating the intended software look of the game with brightness values between 0-200 rather than 0-100.

It was like bloom but it only effected lightmaps and textures.

>>713870919 (OP)
All the left has (excessive) screen space ambient occlusion, which is THE major performance hit and why every artist should learn when to bake and when not to bake.

>>713872515
idk if right is goldsrc because there are weird rendering differences, but yeah left is the Quake-standard of 90 fov.

>>713877672
neither picture has SSAO

For well over a decade, the Steam release of HL1 had HD models on by default, had texture filtering by default, AND had gl_overbright turned off.

Many people noticed that the game looked "dull" or "dark" but most never realized it was because gl_overbright had been set to 0, so they ruin the game's look with the contrast and brightness sliders.

>>713870919 (OP)
Left is UE5 and right is GoldSrc.
Shadows and light give it out fast. I've played enough HL1 and Sven coop for several years to just know which one is original engine.
UE5 has soft looking shadows with lighting, it looks realistic and pretty smooth, while GoldSrc is primitive and got low shadow resolutions which makes them look sharp and very obviously fabricated, and on top of that, the lights go directly to each direction of lighting the area circularly. Circular lighting in this case is UE gimmick, GoldSrc doesn't do that unless you come up with your own adjustments.

>>713877984
pic related.
Top is what it looked like for a long time, throughout the introduction and rise of streaming and youtube.
Bottom is how it is supposed to look and how it originally looked before Steam.

The current Steam HL1 anniversary update has made overbright an option in the video settings called "Shaders" for some reason, but it is enabled by default.

>>713878070
I had the original release of Half Life and it looked like the top image, not the bottom

>>713878192
lol software bitch

>>713878004
there's no way to just specify what type of light falloff you want like in quake map editors? i mean assuming it's still quake underneath, it's all on the editor, the final game doesn't care since all the making and baking is handled by bsp/light/vis

>>713878245
in hardware mode
the bottom blending mode wasn't even avaiable on dx/gl at the time, it looks like mod4, back then they could only do mod2

>>713878004
Two things:
1. The shadows in both images are static lightmaps that were rendered and smoothed out when the map was created by the devs.
2. The right is UE5 because it fucks up the transparency of the walkway grating; notice how the yellow-black bars vanish through the grating on the right.

>>713878245
>>713878339
In software, the overbright effect is hardcoded into the visuals.
In hardware, OpenGL had to come up gl_overbright to accomplish this effect.

Half-Life might not have shipped when gl_overbright existed yet, but in software the 0-200 brightness is default and the intended look.

>>713871124
I-ill remember this...

>>713878475
how do you know software mode is "the intended look"

>>713873224
>furfaggot chimes in

>>713871278
>only getting 241fps in GoldSrc
Your PC, sir.

>>713878846
and? that's cause it's not possible in hardware mode
there's also stuff in hardware mode not possible in software like bilinear filtering

>>713878579
Software has effort put into its visuals and lighting and texture effects that OpenGL couldn't replicate.

>>713871278

>>713871278
oof

>>713878917
HL's 3D accelerated look is simply iconic. The game started development as a software rendered game, but nobody in their right mind would play the final product without an accelerator in 1998.

>>713879020
Uh, sweaty, everyone had the same PC as me back then, which means they ran 320x200 software at 5fps.

>>713879020
Much like Quake, the official hardware-accelerated versions both helped and hurt the visuals while changing the software's art design.
HL1 should have similar community mods that make the visuals in hardware look like software with the performance increases.

>>713879168
oh yes just look at that marvelous banding

>>713879168
What am I looking at? Which one is which?

>>713879227
The CPU has to plot each pixel at the right color on the screen per frame by itself, so color depth and resolution is crushed.
I like the starker colors if the banding could be eliminated in hardware, and having the original water/acid/toxic texture with ripples and waves.

>>713879318
Hardware is the one without the heavy pixelation on the textures (look at the control box).

>>713878917
And OpenGL has effects that software couldn't replicate, what's your point

>>713870919 (OP)
Left is GoldSrc because the lighting is flat. GoldSrc can't do lighting in the right pic. Assuming it's all dynamic.
Unless it's prebaked and for some reason UE5 lights aren't light sources but just props. You can very easily fake a result like that.

>>713879424
Can you name these visual effects that are missing on software?

I'm not trying to argue you stop playing hardware, but people should be aware that these visual effects in software were custom-made by Valve and are mostly unknown due to the obvious advantages of playing with a GPU.

r_shadows_1 my beloved.

I don't care if it's incomplete and glitchy in spots, it improves the look of the game so much. Of course they removed it for compfags playing the multiplayer mode in an update 25+ years ago. But if you play an older build it'll work.

>>713879580

Most people complain about Half-Life being "blurry" until told about turning the filtering to nearest neighbor, and I view the game as looking much better without texture filtering (especially the bilinear filtering that was available at release).

>>713873167
You are this site's most pathetic namefag. You've never done anything funny or even worth laughing at. You're just strolling along pathetically while everyone holds you in contempt.
Why do you subject yourself to this? Nobody is forcing you to fill that name box.

>>713879739
>Most people complain about Half-Life being "blurry"
That's a funny thing to say considering texture filtering is used on every single hardware accelerated game even today
Your opinions aren't facts

>>713879336
nvidia added debanding in RTX HDR
if you have an HDR display you can boot any game, upconvert it to hdr and smooth out all banding
I don't think it works in SDR, they mostly only made it to fix 8 bit banding as HDR content must be 10 bit

>>713879817
I'm not arguing against texture filtering in general, wtf?
In a game like HL1, with such low-resolution textures the filtering makes it no longer pixelated but the clarity goes down and everything has this smeary look to it. N64 games are similar in this regard (again, bilinear filtering on low-res textures).

>>713879993
You're saying that it's the canonical look for HL1 because you don't like the way it looks

>>713878917
Fuck that was atmospheric as fuck. Xen constantly put me on edge. You can only get this magic from a good artist. Doesn't matter the engine.

>>713870919 (OP)
Left is Unreal. Right is GoldSrc because you can see where the caution-pattern bars are hidden by the grating pattern even though realistically you'd see through it, because the compiler just saw two solid brushes next to each other and cut away the inside faces.

>>713880769

>>713881898
Also, how the light is the same on the wall below the walkway. Unreal fades it.

>>713877984
>texture filtering by default
that's a good thing and the dev's intended vision however

>>713881898
You can load up HL1 right now and verify that GoldSrc correctly renders the yellow-black bar through the metal grating.

Right is UE5.

unreal engine games only seem to have problems with nvidia cards. i suspect it's less of an issue with the engine, and more of an issue with nvidia drivers.

>>713872276
Why not? You don't need to use metahumans and megatextures and lumen and nanite and GI. You can just use UE for all it's other features that speed things up and make games more simple to devlop.

>>713878341
You're right about the transparency, but why didn't the person who made that just use forward rendering in UE5?

It's in EA, and ran acceptably on a GTX970. There's used to be a full minute of loading in the hallway connecting offices to labs before the devs addressed the optimization issues. It's not an engine problem and it's not a permanent problem.

I'm not sure about Nanite but Abiotic Factor does use Lumen/GI, which is the main reason it struggles a bit on lower end PCs.
While it does invoke the retro 3D style, the actual visuals are way beyond that era of games, largely due to the dynamic lighting/shadows and reflections.
