Realistic Environment: Realtime Lighting & Rendering
Collaborative Art Project
This project is to demonstrate Realtime Lighting in Unreal Engine 5.
All shots have lumen and Raytracing enabled with strong control. The first project demonstrates a chess board with a strong camera angle and uses different Unreal Lights. All the lights and camera parameters were closely controlled to produce shadows, highlights, bounce lights, image composition, etc. A 3D-scanned Pokémon toy prop was also used to make the project challenging with color variation.
The second project is an indoor-only lighting for 2 rooms. All skills learned from the previous lighting project were used to make the environment look hyper-realistic. The use of a limited number of indoor lights produces reflections, shadows, highlights, and ambiance for the entire set dressed rooms. Some models created by an artist and some of the others were from Sketchfab.
