Hi!
I have a large 3d building with furniture on 4 floors and don’t have the time to place lights in each room. Is there any way to easy light up my floorplan? It doesn’t matter if the shadow cast a little bit of or strange. Can one use the ceiling mesh as light? I don’t want the ceiling to glow just to cast light down.
Regards Steel
a few options:
in 4.20 they added a rectangle light, if you want to update then you could just put a big rect light on each floor.
you could make a bp that adds your lights in a grid for you. it be easy for me, maybe not for you. depends on what you know. here’s a tutorial on that Unreal Engine 4 - Procedural Generation Vertical Wall - YouTube
if you have a skylight there is an option call “lower hemisphere is solid color” turning that off will kinda light up the ceiling and the bottom parts of stuff.
if you add lightmass portals to the windows that help the light pass through them.
