Tutorial on multiple lights with lumen?

Development Rendering

I have a studio model with several lights setup on roof, I used several point lights but someget a X cross , so I thought to put to static, but when I go play mode it says lightning needs to be rebuild, when I do light do not show ingame neither in render, I am a bit confused on how this works with lumen , I would like to have the scene have multiple lights intersecting each other without problems .

As far as I know, Lumen works with dynamic lighting, so you need to set every light to movable, not static.

Also check that you are using DirectX 12, otherwise it won’t work

where do I check direct x 12?

Thankyou its enabled, this is my scene with the lights, I have set them up all to movable, so this is the correct way to go ?

It seems correct, you can check if lumen is working selecting the overview mode (instead of the regular "Lit)

This is what i get, … is it Correct?

For some reason though I am not able to tune well the tlightning like it should be in the real scene, I am trying to reproduce a real place so I would like the light to match it, is there any tutorial that can help me match the light I see in that place for real with the one in Unreal?

Pink usually isn’t a “good colour” in software, it often means that something is missing or not working.

Do you have all these settings like this?

I would like to improve the look of my scene because so far it doesn’t look realistic as the real image, do you have any tutorial sugestion to check to make it closer?

The light looks too strong, it casts really hard shadows:

I would also try to change the floor texture a bit and make it less reflective (change the roughness and the specular value).

Thanks, I tried modigying candels intensity , the volumetric intensity ,the indirect lightning and inner and outer cones, but the shadow always stays hard , if I reduce intensity the scene is less intensily lit but the shadow stays hard, how do I soften it?
