Hi @** **and thanks for amazing content. I want to ask, is it possible to make ue4 sun disk same as the sun which you imported as sky texture. I really love that effect which sun glows from the edge of the wall and it becomes yellowish and when you look to sun without anything blocking it it becomes white bloom again. The sun disk in UE4 is soo boring and not beautiful and if even I enable bloom and light shaft it still doesnt look as good as the texture you downloaded. So what is the solution for to make sun same as the texture and keep it dynamic. For example the sun in AC: origins is amazing.

You mean the star bloom/glare effect? Well…the thing is, Unreal doesnt really have a lot of options here. UE3 had the lens flare editor which was used for making cool sun discs together with flares as well but again, Unreal 4 doesnt support that editor yet.

I will make the sun look better in the future by using the FFT bloom (probably in the next video) but for a proper effect, you would need to build a custom sun flare particle system (something that I actually have done in the past) but thats waaaay too technical and complex for a regular lighting academy session

I hope I answered your question

Cheers!
