Finished scene from marketplace is very dark after i build lighting again by myself

Hey guys,

first of all, excuse me for my english-skills. I´m not an native speaker… :slight_smile:

I loaded a complete scene from the marketplace today, to see how the creator done lighting and some other settings. The problem is, that i wanted to test a that i created in exact this scene. So i imported it, done some settings and placed it. Now, after i tried rebuild the scene (with and without the model - that makes no difference) it´s way darker and in my opinion a has bit lower quality than before. Does someone know why this happens? Does a foreign project not come with the settings the author done? Or does it use my “standard”-settings from UE4?

Here are two screenshots i took:

This project was originally made on a old version of the engine. I would even say that this method of generating G.I with bounce card is outdated. It’s normal you see some differences. I think you should be able to do even better with lightmass portals now!
