Unreal Interior Question

MattW

I am working in arch vis, so I wanted to translate some of what I've learned to make some interiors in Unreal. I have a simple question though, should I do my lighting in Unreal with lightmass etc or is it more about weird baking light stuff.

Sorry if this is is an obvious answer, I looked around but couldn't find the information I needed.

Well are you just doing this to make stills? If so, use lightmass and don't even worry about how high you set things

If you are worried about performance, still use lightmass

Ha fair enough, thanks for the reply. I'm not much on the technical side of game stuff when it comes to lighting and engines. I've been a vis guy (arch and otherwise) for about 6 years so sometimes I get lost outside my vray/mr comfort zone.
