About this course

Through this course, you will learn step-by-step how to set up lighting for any scene you desire in a professional manner. We will create a project titled 'Old West Learning,' where you will explore the essential project settings. Following that, we will discuss how to establish and execute proper lighting, starting with setting up the sky to achieve the right ambient light and atmosphere, then adding the main light source. Additionally, we will delve into the use of Fake Lighting, an advanced technique used by professionals! Afterward, we will utilize Exponential Height Fog, Light Gobos, and Post Process Volumes to ensure better quality and optimized settings for the scene. Whether you are working in game development, the film industry, or using Unreal Engine for other purposes, lighting is a fundamental element in making any artwork realistic and stand out from the rest. You won’t just learn the physical attributes of lighting; you will also discover how and when to break the rules to achieve better results and renders that look more realistic and artistically balanced.
