Lighting workflow

Development Architectural and Design Visualization

Hello guys. I have posted it on another thread but I think most people didn’t see.

Here is a link about my lighting workflow since I started work on UE4, (more than one year ago)

Hope this can be helpful for anyone.

Thank you Rafael!

I like your approach, keep it simple! Efficient!

My favorite passage : ‘‘If any of your indoors is too dark, we simply use the method from real life … Open your windows, doors and turn on the lights.’’

thanks so much raf! I strongly recommended to everyone reading this to go over koola and raghu’s threads that basically started this whole thing - you’ll learn more from them than anything and this guide by raf is the epic summary of all it

Thank you very much for being awesome.

When I saw your UE4Arch videos I was mindblown, and immediately thought I should jump on this real-time bandwagon. I’ll happily buy some of your apartment scenes to study them once I have my finances sorted out. I feel humbled to even contact you on the same forum.

Thank you very much for this Rafareis !

I have a quick question.
In the beginning of your workflow you mention starting values for the following parameters in editor :

Static Lighting Level Scale   = 1.0
Num Indirect Lighting Bounces = 20
Indirect Lighting Quality     = 10
Indirect Lighting Smoothness  = 1.1

After that, only one of these editor parameters is mentionned & modified, its “Static Lighting Level Scale”, along with modifications in the ini file.
Does you keep the other parameters of the editor (num indirect bounces = 20 /indirect quality = 10 / indirect smoothness = 1.1 ) with the same initial values in your workflow ?

edit : added precision
