Unreal Engine 5 Tutorial - Stylized lighting using Cubemaps

#unrealengine #gamedev #tutorial
In this video I go through the process of setting up stylized lighting from scratch that would work well in a casual puzzles game.

Hey there! Brand new to lighting in unreal, I’m curious, does this technique become a bit harder to apply if you’re doing a day/night cycle? Like you’d have to find a way to blend between different sky colors etc.

Love it ❤

[@gisli]

Awesome! Happy to have helped :D

[@enricobersani8948]

Thanks for the valuable knowledge! I'm building myself a stylized environment from scratch and i can't wait to implement this as well!

[@gisli]

Glad it was helpful!

[@g-lurk]

excellent. would there be a way to include volumetric clouds inside the BP_Backdrop?

[@matteckenrodt]

if theyre moving clouds, they clip through the sphere, you could just try making the sphere extremely large so the clipping happens far away. I think the default sky atmosphere set in the starter level would be better for volumetric clouds

[@YahyaDanboos]

this is pretty awesome, I never knew you could achieve such a lighting effect with cubemaps

[@gisli]

Glad you like it! I'm hopefully going to release a new video soon where I take this a bit further :D

Great tutorial and beautiful lighting setup! I want to learn tech art just to be able to make it myself 😁

[@gisli]

Thanks alot! This is is what I was trying to accomplish! I don't have the passion for being the best artist but if I can create an environment (or a guide) where people that do have this passion iterate and reach their goals then I'm happy! Looking forward to see what you make with this! (and let me know if I can help out :) )
