WIP Kyoto Alley in Unreal

Hoqjed

I'm loosely recreating an alleyway in Kyoto that I took a photo of. Here's my render so far in Unreal:

and here's the main references I'm using for the shot and lighting:

I'd appreciate any feedback! I'm mainly interested in comments on composition and lighting but I'll take anything. Thanks in advance.

hey man,

looking good, but:

1. The side of the roof (left side with red) has some unrealistic specular; is the lighting baked or dynamic?

2. the buildings on the right side are too straight - add some variance/noise to break those straight lines; also the corners are too sharp in some cases

3. the window in the back (green) has no depth to it - seems to be on the same level as the wall (unrealistic... no pun intended)

keep tweaking the lighting and the postprocess to get more interesting results
