Tips for lighting in UE4?

JoshWilkinson

I don't have too much experience with baked lighting in UE4. Can anybody share documentation/ videos that run through best practices for lights and reflections? I've been on google but most of what I find is overview stuff. Would love to see stuff that has helped other solid artists!

Tilmann Milde's Unreal Lighting Academy videos are really solid, lots of valuable information, easy to understand.

Check out the Rendering and the ArchViz section of the Unreal Engine forums. You can learn new things everyday just by reading the issues and solutions being posted by other developers.

Use stationary lights if you want nice specular /reflections. If you would use only static ones, they would look very flat after baking.
