It shows that if you’re not logged into GitHub since Unreal Engine (and any forks of it) are private. So log in with your [Epic-linked](https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/ue-on-github) GitHub account, then click the link to my PR and it should work. Let me know. ---

FYI for anyone using my fork: Someone pointed out on my pull request that enabling Lumen on a SceneCapture introduces a flicker to the main view’s Lumen lighting. I don’t expect to find the time to address this ay time soon but I’ll be sure to post an update when it’s resolved. ---

I’m pleased to see that as of 5.1, capture components can opt into Lumen and even feature customizable lumen scene resolution. ---

I don’t believe it does currently. I’ve already brought that up in the lumen feedback thread but it may be good if others do too. ---

You can enable Lumen in a Composure CG layer by enabling it in the Post Process settings of your Cine Camera. Composure copies all the post processing settings from the camera to the Scene Capture. The only problem I see is that there’s a lot of flickering in the Composure capture. ---

It’s great to see that Lumen can generally be enabled for SceneCapture2D components in UE 5.1. However, as @acidarts pointed out earlier, ray-traced reflections don’t seem to work correctly. I also tried the recently released version 5.1.1, but to no avail. Does anyone know if there are ways to enable ray-traced reflections in SceneCapture2D components? I think it’s the only thing still missing for our use-case. ---

I use UE5.1.0 and I activated GI LUMEN in the CameraComponent but the SceneCaptureComponentCube does not render the light in the environment (GI) from emissive materials. Without SceneCaptureComponentCube the light in the environment (GI) from emissive materials is visible. ---
