Do modern video game trailers use the same in-game 3D models, but render them differently due to hardware limitations? If so, why do the models often look worse during actual gameplay, and can that visual difference be fixed through shaders or other rendering techniques?For instance, look at the hair in the pic I posted

>>1019875They often use different models, but even if they use the same you use cinematic camera angles and narrow field of view shots that will have anyone look more photogenic than they'll will look thru a wide angle game camera. Like a really flattering full farme headshot will be taken at long distance with a 85mm lens, that is just a ~16 degree FOV and you typically play at ~90 degrees.
yes higher quality modelstrailers often done by outside studios who make changes of their ownasset the game team sends to trailer team might not be the final asset that ends up in game anyway because changes get made all the time
>>1019881also yes, trailers are often rendered offline using different renderers.
>>1019875Like others have said, trailers are commissioned to outside studios before the game is released
>>1019878>>1019881>>1019897>>1019881Why don't they use the same models ingame
>>1019901Game engines need to render the everything really fast; so less detailed models are used. Trailers are rendered ahead of time; high quality models and shaders can be used.
>>1019901Game engines and real time rendering have fundamentally different constraints from prerendered. For example for prerendering you wanna subdiv the models so much triangles are smaller than pixels while for GPUs that's literally the worst case that you should avoid, that makes every subdivided triangle four times more expensive to render than it should be.
>>1019913>>1019910So is it hardware limitation that's stopping devs from making the game just like the trailers?
>>1019918Are you over 18?
>>1019921Nigger
>>1019918Anon, a frame in a trailer will usually take many minutes to renderA frame in a game running at 60fps needs to render in 16 milliseconds
>>1019918Limitations isn't the word I'd use. They're two very different approaches to rendering things, with very different constraints, for very different goals. Things that are trivial in one become very hard in the other, and vice versa
>>1019918>So is it hardware limitation that's stopping devs from making the game just like the trailers?It's the same hardware for both.Just because Avengers Endgame has a runtime of 3h doesn't mean it took them 3h to make.Seriously, are you over 18?
