Lighting not the same while in edit mode versus play mode

[neighborlee]

To build lighting click on the “Build” button on the top toolbar, and select either Build All or Build Lighting Only to build the lighting.

If you don’t want to have to do this, you can set your lights to “Movable” instead of static or stationary. Doing this will make them Dynamic lights, and will look the same both in game and in editor. If you are going to use a lot of lights then dynamic lights are not the way to go as they are more performance hungry, but if you are just using a sun light and a sky light dynamic is the way to go.

Here’s some more info on the different lighting techniques:

Hope that helps!

I know this is 2 yrs since BUT we must make sure peoiple aren’t getting old/bad info:

You said Doing this will make them Dynamic lights, and will look the same both in game and in editor., but my experience NOW in 4.24.3 is NOT that.

No one seems to have any idea why, this is the most unanswered question it seems, tho the most needed. (lighting is everything)

So anyone ?
