Rendering realistic shots with Sequencer

Seeing as we’ve had the chance to work on great-looking scenes in the past few recipes, it would be a shame to leave those to dry out and not make the most out of them. Given how we’ve put quite a bit of effort to make them shine, why not use the opportunity to create realistic-looking renders?

In this recipe, we’ll take a look at some of the options that Unreal puts at our disposal that allow us to create high-quality renditions of our levels. We’ll look at both the High Resolution Screenshot feature as well as the automated batch-rendering process we can perform through Sequencer – Unreal’s cinematic editor. On top of that, we’ll discover how to tap into Unreal’s built-in Path Tracer, an offline tool that will allow us to use the most realistic rendering system included in the engine. Let’s see how to do all of those things next!
