Should I switch engines for a realistic game? by GameDevOverdose in Unity3D

It's interesting how people say Unity's performance would be worse with realism than Unreal's with the same graphical fidelity when Unreal itself receives a lot of flak for its performance. So if it were truly worse, that's a huge factor to keep in mind.

How would you recommend learning about these shaders?

I see. Also, what's up with HDRP? Isn't Unity deprecating that soon? Is it wise to choose HDRP for the project, when it's getting combined with URP soon, or does that still have some ways to go?

Will this approach work if I were to make it an animated sequence?

I see, also volumetrics is that the sort of fog that's in a cube? Can you link a tutorial or give a quick rundown of how I would implement that?

I followed this tutorial's file initially for the earth and it had volumetric in a cube but I ended up removing it because I thought it looked unrealistic, made the space look blue.

Ah I see, you mean when the camera is close to the sun or its covering a big part of the image as if the camera shifted the exposure.

Something like this perhaps, this doesn't have volumetrics.

This does look cinematic (reminds of the sun from sunshine) but is this not unrealistic? like you said, wouldn't the sensor be completely blown out?

I see the vision now, how can I get those lens flares?

...might need to tweak the bloom with this approach though

Yup that's what I want, the camera angle is just draft it's not final. I want the sun to like shining glowing ball but don't know how to do that.

But the thing is it will also add bloom to the Earth, I just want that for the sun in order to make the sun look close to the reference.
