TharleVFX - Particle Cave Remastered

In this project, I worked with TharleVFX to remaster the classic Unreal Engine "Particle Cave" content example level.
I was the sole environment artist whilst Tom updated and modernised all the particle systems and special effects in the scene.
We rebuilt the 10-year old environment completely, using modern AAA techniques, including Nanite and Lumen workflows, utilising megascans assets and integrating them seamlessly into the level with advanced asset blending, complex environment materials and runtime virtual texture systems.
