hi all good day, I have been learning UE4 for months Im still looking for the right/practical method of realistic lighting.
current method Skylight+Lightmass.

Looks good to me. The couch has some nice soft shadows.

JOhnRose81 · November 17, 2015, 1:54pm

Looks nice. You left some nice darker areas for lamps to go and I think this will look great after all the lighting is set up.

Thanks for the comments @heartless @john
Now Im exploring the material workflow…

Looks really nice, love the subtle white dust effect on the furniture!

Thanks for comment. =) actually the white dust is the fabrics falloff effect that I wanted to achieve but seems failed haha…

Oh no it totally looks real- I just couldn’t think of the right word to use- it definitely looks like the light bouncing off the fibers of the fabric, good work

awesome man look great congrats , how many time to build the lighting ?

anonymous_user_2a80c1f4 · November 24, 2015, 5:51am

Building time is kinda fast now(10mins++) cos I use preview quality only. still figure out to fasten build time with reasonable time.

Rod13 · November 24, 2015, 7:04am

wow preview quality pretty impressive and 10 min, im kinda new and im still trying to figurate a good balance between building time/quality , what are your ligtmass settings ? btw your materials are looking so good

anonymous_user_d58eed97 · November 24, 2015, 9:43am

So Cool~Do you use 1024 light map resolution for all objects?

anonymous_user_2a80c1f4 · November 24, 2015, 10:36am

beside the floor or wall is 512. the rest of the staticmesh is 16-256 resolution try to keep reasonable resolution to avoid unnecessary slow render times

Looks nice! I am wondering, do you use the fresnel effect on the diffuse or reflection slot of the material?

JOhnRose81 · November 25, 2015, 2:44am

Use it on the subsurface section. Set it to white. But experiment.

anonymous_user_00b7676d · November 25, 2015, 5:41am

I just fresnel hooked to diffuse…i think use SSS is expensive

anonymous_user_a055f050 · November 25, 2015, 2:36pm

Hey how did you manage to get such a good lighting with skyligt? I am new to ue4 and i just added a skylight and the scene appears to be dark,then i added bp skyspehere but the lighting is too dark.how did you achieve this lighting?pls help

amir.pourshafi · November 26, 2015, 8:33am

set the lighting level scale about .2 and light quality to 6 or higher,sky intensity about 5 (depend on your secen)and dont forget to read the ue4arch.com article about lightmass.
