UE5 Lumen Lighting - Metamorphosis

This scene, created in Unreal Engine 5 is based on this Cyberpunk Laboratory environment by Leartes Studios: https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/cyberpunk-laboratory-research-center-interior-kitbash

I've added a variety of megascans assets and decals, and altered many of the shaders in the scene to get a totally different look to how the environment was originally set up. Thanks to Lumen this setup features realtime soft shadowing, accurate reflections and dynamic global illumination at above 60fps (1080p). All post-processing is done in engine, with the help of a LUT authored in Photoshop.

It's also worth saying that this piece is partly inspired by an amazing painting by Simon Stalenhag, titled On the Activities of Primates and Passerines: https://simonstalenhag.tumblr.com/post/85500455192/on-the-activities-of-primates-and-passerines
