"Unreal Engine 5 Opens New Doors for Architectural Visualization"

Ever since Unreal Engine 1, the engine has always shown great potential for architectural visualization; just by looking closely at the world built in Unreal Tournament (released in 1999) and basically any other game built in it, you can see that it was always capable of visualizing almost anything an artist could think of .

And now that we're in the presence of Unreal Engine 5 with Nanite and Lumen and much more. The future for archviz has never looked so promising:

"The release of Unreal Engine 5 has had a massive impact on the game development industry. Many of its groundbreaking new features are ideally suited to creating next-generation games and massive Open Worlds with astonishing detail. But while not all of these new workflows have been production tested yet in other industries, many of them bring plenty of exciting new potential to the table for non-games applications too—including architecture." – Unreal Engine
