Help with Pre-Calculated Lighting for Environment Art Test
Hello all! Just today I received an art test from a company (that for now will go un-named) and I had a few technical questions I wanted to reach out to the community for. I think I have a firm grasp on most of what they want, but there are a few things that I feel are slightly beyond me at this point (or just slightly… -
Looking for Lighting Feedback on My UE5 Scene
Hey everyone! I’m currently working on a cinematic scene in Unreal Engine 5 and would love some feedback—especially on the lighting. I’m still fine-tuning the textures alongside the lighting, but my goal is to create a soft, nostalgic mood—something that feels like a distant memory from the early 1940s or late 30's. I’ve… -
Light coming behind a door
Hey guys, I'm new to UE4 and I'm having big problems lightning this scene. I need to make a light shine through the door down the corridor so to make the blood stand out. Also I need the ceiling lights cast light and that doesn't seem to be possible with emissive maps. I used a skylight and some sphere reflection capture… -
Marmoset viewer is using a different light setup than the one in my scene
Hi, I'm trying to export a marmoset viewer file for artstation, but the results look very different from what I see in the viewport (as you can see in the image attached).

Point light doesn't cause such glitches. Actually I made a scene with just one directional light and a cube and the glitches were still appearing. So it's… -

Re: Lighting Dynamic Objects properly?
It is using a light env right now, I suppose (unless you turned that off), so to improve it you could: Lightmap the meshes so the lighting is baked in. This is most seamless but doesn't work if the pieces animate in such way that it is obvious the lighting doesn't update. This would also be fastest for performance. You'd… -
Re: Arcane Inspired 3D Character Bust
Sweet, old school, fits right in here! I’d suggest you could add a bit of red saturation along the shadow/light terminus. But of course depends on the reference material. Thinking of the PSG Art Tutorial… https://androidarts.com/art_tut.htm -

Re: Uninspiring Lighting Question
Hi Check this videos http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/VideoTutorials.html great for beginners. You might have various problems, its hard to tell. 1-You need a second UVW channel for light maps.
