This bright loft scene is a part of Archinteriors for Unreal Engine vol. 4. Check out all five scenes in Evermotion Shop. We poreted this scene from 3ds Max version, carefully optimized all the models, textured them in Substance Painter and re-created the scene using Unreal Engine rendering and lighting capabilties.

The scene consists of one main building and one additional building that is visible as a distant facade behind the windows.

Floor mesh with UV map that is used for lightmap baking.
One of unique features of this scene are baked caustics. We baked them in V-Ray (because this scene comes originally from V-Ray) using caustics pass and then created a blueprint that gives this additional bit of photorealism for glass objects.

Rug was made with a material that uses Parallax Occlusion Mapping Node. Thanks to it, we have this "3d look" of it's texture.

ParallaxOcclusion Mapping node. You can learn more about setting Parallax Occlusion in Unreal Engine from this tutorial.
ParallaxOcclusion Texture was made in Substance Designer by mixing procedural maps
