Old Scene, New Light – ParticleEffects in UE5.7

This scene is called ParticleEffects, a free sample included with Unreal Engine. It’s a very old asset, but I’m really fond of it because it was one of the first scenes I used when I started learning.

I decided to revisit it after all these years, so I opened it in Unreal Engine 5.7 and re-lit the entire environment using Lumen and Nanite. It was a nice exercise to see how a classic scene can come back to life with modern tools.

I’m sharing the result here with a lot of love.
I hope you enjoy it!
