Unreal Engine 4 Dynamic Light Probes

Finally finished adding the dynamic light probes feature to my Ambient Lighting pack on the Unreal Marketplace! Several months of hard work went into this addition to perfect and make this as optimized and easy to work with as possible. This update adds the ability to enable the dynamic capturing of the world around the light probes to inject it into the lighting for a very low performance hit. The lighting in this video cost about 0.30MS to render. The lighting pack still contains all previous ambient lighting systems simply with the new GI features toggle-able.
The Ambient Lighting pack is currently selling for 19.99!

Song used in this video is "Your Heroes Are Dead" by Tybercore

Looks great good. 20 bucks isn’t bad to get this type of optimized lighting 🤙🏾

Quick note, the updates to add the new GI features have been submitted to Epic Games but may not appear on the Unreal Marketplace yet. It may take a few hours to a few days to appear! Let me know if you guys have any questions, super excited to finally get this out!

[@evilmrfrank]

This update is now up on the Unreal Marketplace! Let me know if you guys have any issues/feedback!

Very nice work definitely worth the money!

[@adamplechaty]

Why isn't this part of the engine? Seems like a great feature that should be in by default. Nice work!

[@madshader]

The music didn't seem a teensy bit over the top to you? Great work btw! :)

[@evilmrfrank]

Probably right, I didn't spend much time looking for the perfect song. Just wanted a decent one that didn't have copyright protection :P

[@P0SLY]

nice work !

This method seems very similar to the new DDGI volumes in the 4.26 branch of unreal. I like this method more because you have more flexibility as to where they are placed. Interesting that you were exploring this concept well in advance to anything being public. The future of real time raytracing is....sort of fake lol.

This is great!

Question, can light probes be added as components? I've got a whole world generated dynamically in runtime from preset BP sets, and if the answer is 'yes', then I'm buying this sick shit.

[@UnrealEngine_Master]

July 2021 - the plugin is unavailable in UE4 marketplace (error 404) how can we buy it?

[@raaaaaaaaaam496]

Don’t leave me again dad please

[@antoniopepe]

works with emissive materials ? or only by sampling the light from point/spot/Sun ?

[@TimmyTurner421]

You create all these cool maps just for fun or are they part of a game you're working on?

[@evilmrfrank]

I create them just for fun usually, the environment was not created by me though, it was from a pack on the unreal marketplace.

[@spacepirate9882]

Is this only adding light tint depending of surrounding environment or is this able to reduce light? Like making a cave in bright outdoor scene become darker than with UE4 basic lighting?

[@evilmrfrank]

These work more like point lights, so they only add light, they can't take away light from the environment. You will probably want to use post process volumes to pull off what you are wanting with the caves.

Music don't fit the video. Is that an asset pack?

[@mayorc]

Do dynamic light probes work with oculus quest or are only for PC?

[@djo9999]

Hi Mr. Frank, I purchased your tool on the marketplace but I cannot see the updated version of it with the GI integration. Has it been upgraded on the marketplace yet ?

[@evilmrfrank]

Not yet, sometimes it takes a few days unfortunately.

[@djo9999]

@@evilmrfrank alright thanks for the quick reply sir 😉
