UE4 1 Million Particles Test
One of the very first things I made in Unreal Engine 4 as a test of the engine's performance.
As should be clear from Epic's own elemental demos, UE4 is a lot better at handling many particles and lighting calculations. On my rig (which is only "decent"), this test achieves a smooth 30 FPS easily (less in the video due to recording software). Copyright 2013 WillyG Productions.
Q: "How did you get UE4?"
A: Epic Games gave me access to UE4 but I am not allowed to discuss the details. Sorry about that :P
