Hi, I’m Damith Galhena, from Sri Lanka, I’m a 3D Modeler, Environment Artist, and Level Designer. This Scene was created for the Unreal Challenge called “Better Light Than Never”
hope you like it!.
This is a really interesting challenge and I saw some beautiful entries up there. also, I would like to thank Epic Games for organizing a challenge like this.
Cheers.
Thank you for sharing your submission with us! This showcase is remarkably beautiful! The storm is scary, and yet the sound of the rain upon the umbrella is very soothing.
The light reflecting on the wet surfaces is so ultra-realistic! Was it challenging to determine how much light would emanate from any of the light-giving assets (i.e. construction cones, streetlamps, car lights, store fronts)?
Hi, @Get_DOVAH_it thanks for your compliments.
Yes, it’s a bit challenging. but with the new Lumen technology, it become much easier. I used a combination of both RectLights and emissive lights for this situation.
For example, 50% of the light emitted from the storefront comes from an emissive material and another RectLight I used to control the shadows and light scattering.
You’re most welcome! Thank you for sharing an example of your process!
