Lighting Scenarios in Unreal Engine 4

Join us for our monthly meetup as Derek sheds illuminates us with a presentation on UE4 lighting scenarios. Derek will cover the following topics:

· Intermediate level crash course on lighting in UE4, including many pro tips and “aha”tidbits that will be useful for advanced users.

· Brief explanation of the gamma 2.2 texture workflow (aka linear workflow) and its impact on PBR and lighting inside Unreal Engine.

· Will demonstrate lighting a scene 2 ways; for day and night.

· Overview of both the Lightmass Importance and Post Process Volumes and demo of their impact on lighting and final aesthetic.

Stick around after the presentation to ask questions and chat with other active Unreal Engine developers.
