Hello!
My question is whether it’s possible to create lighting effects in 2D games using UE4.
I tried to test lighting and in the editor viewport it seems to be working. You can see this in the picture below.
However, when I start the game. it’s completely dark. I also tried to change the DefaultSpriteMaterial Shading model to “Default Lit” and plug out the emissive color and instead use the base color.
I am starting to think the problem has something to do with my player camera, because in spectator mode it looks exactly like in the previous picture.
EDIT: The problem gets solved whenever I switch from Orthographic camera to Perspective camera. Is it possible to use Orthographic camera and also have lighthing effects?
Waiting for you response
