Realistic Lighting in 15 Minutes - Unreal Engine 5 Lumen Tutorial

[@edwrecked]

For anyone having an issue with Lumen being greyed out everywhere but on (like I did), try turning off forward shading in project settings, reselecting your Lumen settings, and then restarting! Excellent tutorial!

[@IncognitoActivado]

Is there a way to replace Lumen with UE4 dynamic lighting?

[@ceejay1353]

You're truly the best at breaking things down clearly when it comes to unreal.

[@VirtusEdu]

Thank you!

[@wholesome3d]

So glad to see that you’re back, Luke. Missed your videos the last few months. You’re really gifted at detailing the complicated things in a simple way. Please keep the KZbin tutorials coming.

[@VirtusEdu]

More to come, hang tight!

[@IncognitoActivado]

Question, is there a way to replace Lumen with UE4 dynamic lighting?

[@wholesome3d]

@@IncognitoActivado I realize that this is aimed at Luke, but since it’s under my comment, I liked to share my personal thoughts (I hope that’s okay) Yes, you can go with the Hardware Ray Trace lighting but then you need to an Nvidia RTX graphics card. You also have to set up the lighting, shadows and reflections for Ray Tracing in the project settings and in your Post Process volume. You also have to bake your lighting before rendering. There are a number of tutorials online that cover these steps in more detail, but in my opinion the visual difference has become so negligible since the 5.4 update that I don’t even think it’s worth it anymore. This is my opinion, at least.

Look up how to make templates, once you have a template customized for you, you can get to making soft quickly

[@ukmonk]

Nice video thank you! Should we enable ray tracing when we start a new project please? If we are going to use Lumen i mean please?

[@arash5550]

is lumen just a rendering system in the engine of it is supposed to be used in game export too ?

[@GoobNoob]

Very good tutorial. Efficient.

[@xzaros]

Thanks mate, I watched the 2 hour course by epic which was good but I think I actually learnt more from your 15 min video. Be really good if you can summarise all the ue5 features as quickly as this.

[@VirtusEdu]

Definitely a cool idea, I'll see what I can do!

[@JOYCEDIVISION]

Great course you did in Folkestone, amazing teacher, thanks Luke.

[@Draian63]

I'm back to unreal after a long while... and just to thank you for the clear information your sharing and the excellent quallity of the teaching. Clear and comphrensive. Tumb up and subscribed. Plus a little maybe worthy sidenote... Your tutorial plus everything that goes along with it as the the ambient provided by Unreal Marketplace runs perfectly smooth on my laptop with i7 7700Hq 16gigRam SSD & gtx 1050 4gigs. I am mentioning this as I am surprised how well and smooth this engine runs on such a small "gaming"machine...

[@xrcustomizing7102]

I personally hate the lumen. On slightly darker environments; like an enclosed warehouse scary game I’m making, it absolutely horrendous noise. It looks like stains or fog dancing around on the surfaces from far away. Turning up the quality doesn’t help too much either and then it only impacts fps. I’ve think they have a ton of fixing to do with this lumen.

[@SnakeEngine]

Solution?

[@xrcustomizing7102]

@@SnakeEngine haven’t ever found one. They need to perfect lumen. I’ve seen professional grade videos and photos made in UE5; made by architects to showcase homes, and you can still see the horribly ugly shadow blotches in some areas. It’s horrendous. I personally think they need to just get rid of it until they can perfect it.

[@SnakeEngine]

@@xrcustomizing7102 Ok, have you looked up the tutorials of William Faucher on youtube? He still cannot save it from these flaws?

[@xrcustomizing7102]

@@SnakeEngine I’ve watched a lot of them. Yes there’s obviously ways to mashes it look better with certain settings, but there is still going to be areas that you see the blotched moving shadows. It looks much better in well lit areas and especially with sunlight , but darker areas especially indoors with no direct sunlight look poor.

[@60tiantian]

finishing the video, i think you more handsome~

[@Claw94]

I just discovered your channel and let me tell you i have checked A LOT of channels, you really are good at breaking down things clearly and i hope you post much more frequently cause god knows we need more haha

[@IncognitoActivado]

Hi. Is there a way to replace Lumen with UE4 dynamic lighting?

[@espirite]

Trying this now in the latest version of UE5 but with this same asset / scene - when you try to increase indirect lighting it doesn't work for some reason. It does work if you build your own scene but i'd love to know how to trouble shoot it with this scene built for UE4 and i can't figure out how to do that.

[@hseworldkochi]

lovely video with in depth explanation but 1 question. How does one do the importings

[@fredflinstoner9530]

I remember watching your videos in 2014 Now I can finally run unreal engine!

[@ijoju1995]

Can i use these configurations with a VR scene?

[@InnerspaceX]

Great video, thanks.

[@andreravenna3488]

Do you have anything on good glass shaders for arkviz and Lumen? I find it hard to make realistic glass without pathtraceing. Bit of a deal breaker.

[@tiredguy2753]

Very informative video.

[@raouferaoufe3563]

[@awadalu2682]

Thanks for your tutorial, When I see the render setting in UE5, I only see deferred rendering except lumen rendering, Is the lumen render setting decided by project setting? not by render setting?

[@mrkshh]

Bro you are the best

Myanmar dia Light I have the demo version right now would you recomnd buying the full version?

i enabled lumen and everything but i still get the message i need to bake the lighting, why? did i do something wrong? also i got a warning to use lightmass volume importance . it was an outdoor scene.

[@MannyAlejandro-tq2qk]

I have a question. am trying to render a spot light with an image applied.. (Like a GOBO effect) its looks good in lumen but as soon as I click on path tracer. it seems that PT does not read it... AND here I thought Unreal had every little corner covered. (I guess Not) heheheh. is there something I am missing? as soon as I click PT the images projecting from my spot light disappears. any ideas? am I missing a setting? cheers!!

[@ilmedvedCG]

GI Shadows looks quite weak with this method. For example there are no shadows under chairs. Are there any settings to make shadowing cooler?

[@MrVisualDesine]

great vid, one question for you, i have the ultimate river tool and the reflections on the water are not showing, how can i use realistic reflections to achieve the best results for transparent water

[@JumboTTV]

Hey Virtus love your videos have been watching you for a few years now :) I only have the ability to turn my indirect lighting up to 6 not 10 like you did. Do you know any way to uncap it? I am also using the directional light source. Thank you for the video!

How? Could you please give ? It will be very helpfull!
