(UE5) Abandoned Apartment (2024)

Part of a Re-Light series. This is where I utilize pre-existing content + scenes; such as free learning content from Epic Games or from Asset Creators of which I've supported by purchasing their assets.

The process is simple:
1. Open the scene
2. Delete all lights and VFX
3. Relight from scratch.

The goals are unique:
1. Sometimes I am recreating the existing lighting style that was original default.
2. Sometimes I am just creating something fresh while being in the scene.
3. Sometimes I am purposefully creating a new, different look than the original default.
~ The goal for this project was Hyper Realism.

The asset and scene in this piece is called:
Megascans Abandoned Apartment

The original default asset and scene were created by:
Quixel

You can download this asset for free (doesn't include my version) from the Unreal Market Place:
https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/c26355353df843289701d632508d4fb0

I am responsible for Tech/Lighting on the ReLight Revamped versions.

Both scenes are UE5 + Lumen.

NOTE:
This asset doesn't appear to create and import as a project correctly. Tried to fix the issues on load to maintain what was there but it doesn't appear that it imported the original version properly based on store comparisons despite engine version being supported. If time permits will try to start a fresh project to capture original media.
