DAY 7
LIGHTING
First day of lighting.
I started with adding the directional light for the main light source of the sun/moon. Then I began adding little area lights around the house. I wanted to use the blues and orange contrast. Complimentary colors.
I actually have two directional lights. One for the main light source, the other is to fill in the shadows but with a lot lower brightness setting
I didn't like the sunset feeling around the island so I decided to swap it out for nighttime. I like it a lot better.
Testing to see how it all looks without and skylights to fill in the dark gaps.
Here I added the fog to see how it would look with it and if it is coming together.
I added a lighthouse beam, which required setting up a matinee in Unreal. It rotates and loops. Took me a while to set that up. But it works and adds a lot to the map.
Any suggestions or comments, please fill them out below or email me.
