Total War WARHAMMER 2 Cinematic video - how to make?
When i see this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=208pda0nTPM I'm blown away - it looks entirely different from what i see in game (and i play all on ULTRA). The lighting, depth of field all looks much better.

How do you achieve such look?

Well, it say in title, it is cinematic, which mean CGI, not in game footage.

Ask the author.
But probably reshade and possibly editing magic

yes, I reached out to him. no doubt lot of editing, but the fidelity is beyond to what i see capturing from vanilla gameplay...

Wanted to see if the community has insight on this...

A combination of high end rig, reshade, graphic mods and video editing software.

Usually the models used in cinematics are much higher quality than those in game. Along with professional artists, animators, and video editors working on it.

Except the video posted is actual game footage captured by a random youtuber and not by CA staff.

Oh wow. Then I hope he's working professionally. Probably custom art. I wonder if it's a custom map with lighting or if it was repainted in video editing.

you will never get the game to look like this as you play it

in one of his vids, though i forget which, he left a mod list to make it look similar. he still does stuff outside of the game to make it look even better, but it'll look closer
