Community Tutorial: Cinematography in Unreal Engine: COLOR TEMPERATURE

In this advanced cinematography tutorial for Unreal Engine, we explore the science and practical workflow behind color temperature, how Kelvin works, and how it applies to film, photography, digital cinema, and virtual production.

You’ll learn why 6500 K (D65) is the white point of sRGB/Rec.709, how a black-body radiator defines the color of light, and how CCT (Correlated Color Temperature) affects LED panels.

Inside Unreal Engine we configure color temperature in: Lights, Cine Camera Actor, Post Process Volume.
