I'd like to issue a small corrective statement! @17:08 I state that exposure isn't linear. That's not... quite correct. Exposure in itself is linear, but our perception of light, values/brightness, and reflectance, is not linear. That technicality aside, an albedo of 0.18 *IS* still the middle-grey value you should be using as a guide to gauge the exposure of your scene, that remains unchanged.
When I turn on Hardware ray tracing and go to open my project file....it gets to 45% and says "compiling shaders (8,102)" so naturally I think "Ah this just needs to be done once" but every time I try to open or save the project it goes back to compiling 8,000 shaders again....is this normal? How am I meant to work on projects if it takes an 45 mins to open and save a project. (and yes I have a RTX card) I think Il just go back and turn off ray tracing.
@@RavetodaGrave You're not supposed to have settings such as raytracing on during development. You turn that on to see how it looks and tweak it, then turn it off again until you finish making the game. This goes for everything, don't try to animate high poly characters, don't use 4K textures, don't spam volumetrics or particle systems or physics, non of that. Keep it as simple as possible, then turn all the fancy things on when you're ready to compile a test version.
I've been teaching Unreal for almost 8 years at digital universities, and much of what you cover I explain in the same way, which makes me proud of it and a punch of positive reinforcement. You are a great teacher, William!
I'm in Pennsylvania and 30% of all my entertainment / study comes from this guy lol. Probably going to be the first channel I ever join. Truly Great work. 👍
It's amazing how you can turn a very confusing set of parameters into a VERY clean, understandable, and straightforward workflow. These are probably THE most quality tutorials I've ever come across.
18 years in the arch viz industry and I've gotta say your tutorials, method of explanation, articulation and approach to systematic learning is what the industry has been missing all these years. You're one of the only people out there actually taming the beast that is Unreal Engine and making it more approachable to anyone transitioning to it. Great work, thanks.
I've been a 3d Artist for around 8 years now (3DsMax + Corona), I've now started to learn Unreal...and this video alone taught me so much. Thanks for the content and the clarity of your lessons. Just another person letting you know how much your videos help
Ah thanks so much man! Glad to hear it could help out even someone who isn't a total beginner to the world of 3D! Best of luck with learning Unreal, it's a fun ride!
I was gonna say pretty much the same thing with 15 years of professional experience now. I love how Unreal is taking all these super sophisticated effects now and making it so easy to use. It used to be that you would setup lights everywhere and light probes and crap all in a very non-intuitive way to "fake" realism. We all dreamed of a time when we would drop a sunlight and few lights (actually where they should be coming from the light mesh source) and things would just work. Seems like we are finally there now, its super exciting times!
Oh and thanks so much for posting this. I was scouring the internet for days trying to gather bits and pieces of this information here and you have it all correct in one place. I can't tell you how many times I've read threads where people either didn't know the answers here, or literally gave the wrong advice. cheers!
Oh, Will! This is going to be such a lovely resource for so many people, and I can't wait to sit down and go through this in its entirety tomorrow morning! Your videos are ~truly~ the gold standard for UE education on the internet, thank you for putting so much time and effort into it. It's made my explorations into UE5 so much easier.
I shared a comment yesterday expressing my frustration with some issue about the compiling shaders, and I have to say, I didn't properly expressed how much I am grateful to find such content available for beginners like me... Man you are truly a gem on the internet for proposing such complete and clear tutorials about this program. It can be so overwhelming when you first open up the UE5, even for someone who has some experience in blender, or C4D or other 3D softwares, and to be able to just find 45 minutes content taking you by the hand and explaining to you how it works is just unbelievable. All for free, damn it ! Again, thank you so much for that !
I'm a professional 3D Artist and this video has demystified Lighting for Games and getting incredible results, thankyou so much for the content you're helping so many people!
I’ve been using Unreal Engine since UE4 came out and I’ve only just learned how to turn on godrays. It’s strange because I’ve been on and off trying to figure out how to do that years and I’ve seen many tutorials where the RUclipsr adds all the lighting actors like the height fog, skylight, clouds, etc, flips a whole bunch of switches in the properties panel, and the end result is never what I’m looking for. I would then spend an hour adjusting lots of settings that I don’t know about and then give up. After watching your tutorial, I had no idea all it took was a few clicks 😂. Thanks for sharing this with me. This has been one of my great mysteries with unreal engine for a needlessly long time. You’ve got yourself a new subscriber! 👍
I've been wanting to dip into Unreal for a very long time. You're tutorials are fantastic and have been crucial with helping me get past the learning curve. Thanks for all you do.
I love that we currently are in another golden age of computer grpahics~ Seeing this quality of lighting running in realtime and even working with it just blows my mind every time i open Unreal. Your note at 17:25 even just changed my approach to 2D painting, as i've never thought about that and simply used 50% gray until now
Oh hell yeah! I honestly can't say how thankful I am that you do these tutorials. I basically owe my career and livelihood to tutorials like this and that is not an exaggeration. So very truly Thank You so incredibly much!
William I wonder if you have any idea how much you're advancing peoples' careers. Your work is SO helpful and SO impactful. You are an invaluable resource, thank you!
Dude this video was absolutely incredible, lighting is something i struggle with and this video helped me a huge amount. So professional and quality. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.
This is great. I am only few weeks away from submitting my project and I am struggling a bit with low light interior scene (only source is directional light, throught holes in the roof). These tips about material value affecting indirect lighting and many more helped a lot. I just wanted to say thank you Mr Faucher.
This is awesome. I think a lot of the environment artists I know feel like they struggle with lighting. It's great to have a professional rundown like this, especially one that covers Lumen. Really appreciate the content.
ever since i found out the volume has been using UE5 as the "standard" for movie productions such as The Batman, Mandalorian, etc, I will be learning this nonstop after I'm done with my thesis, which is due next week and after that i will be done with it!! I really can't wait to go through this video, saved it on my playlist! Thanks Will!
love that you even explained how to get the UI to match yours, Its such a simple thing that can make navigating following tutorials so much more difficult for beginners. Thank you!!
I learned more in this "long" video than I have learned in 5 years of playing around with Unreal. There are so many knobs and levers to fiddle with that it can be discouraging to spend hours fiddling with various settings and still not be able to get the effect you're looking for. Your relating everything back to the way cameras and our eyes perceive light helps link what a digital artist intuitively understands about light to the settings in Unreal which can tweak it to match what I am imagining. I really should have gone to bed an hour ago, but there were so many "ah ha! So that's what that thing does!" moments that I decided I would just increase my caffeine intake in the morning.😀
This was pretty good man. I always recommend your work to others as its very clear whats happening. Even myself, 8 years in UE, I used a few tips from this to make some corrections to my own lighting. I generally have overexposure in my scenes due to postprocess and directional lighting (turn my lux way up and my exposure way down). This also is a great way to resolve Niagara issues with PPV and washing out the emissive/exposure. Good work.
never seen a better explanation of a lighting video than this, still wondering how much new i got to learn from this even i am not a beginner, Thanks alot william the legend
Really appreciate these clear step-by-step tutorials mixed with juicy nuggets of wisdom. I would definitely pay for a course that goes deeper into core topics like lighting, cameras and rendering in UE5. Maybe even a series that attempts to recreate a wide variety of image styles from various movie
I've been seeing lots of tutorials online and some different workflows regarding lighting and I'm seeing 2 things that always makes me wonder, 1. Using the default intensity of lights and make crazy tweaks with the camera and exposure compensation. 2. Use the physical value of the light source and the camera. I'm a using the physical measurements of the light and the right camera settings guy but I'm curious why some people use the default measurements of most lights.
It really doesn't matter which you use. You can get identical results using physical values of lights vs default values of lights. It's all about exposure, that's it. In real life, depending on how you expose your camera, you can make a candle look as bright as the sun. Using physical values can help you get in the rough ballpark, but the results won't look "better" or "more realistic" . I prefer working with default values because the physical lux of the sun is 100'000 or so, and it's annoying to work with such huge numbers across multiple lights.
I'm so happy I found your channel. You teach exactly what I'm trying to learn in the precise method that I like learning it. As an example, I've taught many of my students about the same concept of middle grey (18%) and explained to them that coal is the least reflective real-world material and snow is the most. Knowing "why" 18% is the middle is so important to understanding. For you to cover those concepts in these tutorials is so appreciated. Thanks so much. Looking forward to watching more of your content.
Hi William! You are my go-to guy for UE5 issues as I am (at 56 years old) still a 'novice'. I have been working with Unreal now for a while now, but at my age I guess it just goes slower.. :-) Your tutorial do help a lot! --- I do have one question with regards to lightmap density. I import my blender model as FBX and auto generate UV lightmaps and enable nanite. However when I display the light map density (to correct them according to your tutorial) my static models are black. When I disable nanite, they are fine. I use Megascans materials. I have no idea what to do as I have exhausted the internet for this :-) A tutorial on this would be great! All the best from Wales, UK.
Curious how you got on with this issue. I notice a similar thing and that the black disappears if I move the objects away and then back to the same place... bizzare
These tutorial covers all of the questions and tricks for lighting and how lumen works in UE. Great video and I recommend it to all who want to begin or improve lighting in UE5 for sure

Hello William. My name is Marco. I am from Brazil. I want to thank you for your very good lessons! I am learning a lot! And I also would like to know if you can help me with a problem that I am facing. I can not render a png sequence with a pre keyed video from After Effects. I watched a lot of tutorials but I could not solve the problem. Coul you help me? If you can, how could I send some print screens to you? Thank you.
Can you explain a bit more of the problem? I am doing just that with 8k footage imported into a plane in unreal. Maybe I can help. E podes falar portugês comigo ;)
2 года назад
@@osgawtf Thank you! I import the vídeo to Unreal 5 using png files. Than, I follow all the steps: I create a material, use the media player, put It in to a plane and so on. I followed this tutorial: ruclips.net/video/WWjloYDCXd0/видео.html Before the rendering starts, in the camera view It appears ok, but when I press the buton "render local" to render, the plane gets black. All the rest of the video renders ok, but the plane where I put the video gets black.
@ Ok I watxched the video and it seems to be the same workflow I am using currently. From what you are saying it would seem the video just isn't playing. Make sure your media track in sequencer is well setup. Make sure it is sending to the same render target on the plane and that it is opening the same img sequence. Also make sure the sequenmce files arent altered. Make sure the is active is on. You can troubleshoot this in editor by pressing play. Also check your media player settings. You can also try to go to the project settings, search for alpha, And set it to linear color space only. I don't know if it might be that but try it. This is a simple yet hard problem to troubleshoot without knowing the project. Just make sure you have followed the tutorial and maybe ask around in that video comments. This one seems tottally unrealated to your problem.
This is a great tutorial. I come from the Unity engine world and I am a complete Unreal Newbie. I watched some of your other tutorials and I learned a lot every time. You turn me into an Unreal addict and a William Faucher subscriber. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Thank you so much Will, I got a lot out of this video. It not only introduces the basic information about lighting, but more importantly, it tells us a lot about the problems that we will encounter in the real world and the proven solutions!
My most sincere compliments, this is the best, clearer and most complete tutorial on illumination in Unreal i've ever seen. i will advice it in my classes. thank you very much!😀
As a current college student pursuing my degree in Game Design, your video has been extremely useful and helpful. We have not actually gotten to lighting yet in school or at least so far it has not been covered in depth so this video really helped me move forward by essentially giving me a way to start. It is safe to say I will also be watching the other videos you have done and look forward to seeing more in the future. Thank you.
A fantastic resource for not only beginners but for both intermediate and advanced users. Everything starts at the foundations, learn them! Thank you William.
Amazing explanations. When I start to work on lighting that is usually where everything falls appart and look terrible. A quick test on an older project converted to 5.1, deleting all lights and following along with your explanation and... boom... wow... oh my gosh... Soooooo much better in such a small amount of times and clicks. You are an absolute rock star! Thank you, thank you and thank you again!!!
you sir deserve a medal! after years of trying to understand things in unreal engine , you come and ease it out for us! new subscriber right here ! and back on track in unreal engine ! love you're content man ! keep it up !
Having worked with UE4's lighting for a few years now I don't consider myself a newbie with lighting but not when it comes to Lumen so thank you very much for making this tutorial. It was very helpful.
Even though I'm working with UE for a few years now, I learned a lot of new stuff in this video. Very clear and well explained. Thanks a lot for sharing!
I am currently not work with Unreal Engine yet, but it's satisfying and interesting to watch your and other videos about it. It's also better to follow the video when you don't actually rely on a already existing project. Your videos are very good explained. Even without knowing all the basics of UE. I can follow. You also have a great way to explain things. Just quick and informative without much blablabla which keeps my mind focused.
Thanks so much for this, Will! I've been in 3D for a 2.5 decades but am just diving into UE. And you have a nice balance of fundamentals and technical quality settings that have likely spared me hours of troubleshooting. Cheers!
Just Starting out Unreal Engine - Scrolling Trough the the Beginner side of Unreal 5. and this is the first video i watch... this is a Great introduction to not only Unreal Engine 5 but also Lighting in General. thanks for Sharing the info mate!
I swear to Allah that you changed my negative idea about this program to way positive idea , you're great man , thanks for the kindness and the amazing content and may God bless you , thank you so much
Thank you for this! I'm a developer and not a digital artist so this has *really* helped understanding the tools. I'm slowly building up my videos of cinematic tests and hopefully getting better with each one. Videos like these are vital to helping increase the quality of my content, bit by bit.
This tutorial was so clean, straight to the point, no bullshit, just pure and easy to understand information, I loved it from start to finish, thank you so much for giving us your time and effort
TNice tutorials was a fantastic beginner's guide, straight to the point, very clear. As a long-ti teacher I can tell you are quite apt at teacNice tutorialng!
Finished the whole video at once and couldnt wait to try on a real project and boom, with just a couple of clicks my project looks much more better thanks mate ✌️😊
I have never used Unreal and I honestly don’t intend to, but I still watched this video from beginning to end. It’s just so nice to watch, your audio mixing feels warm and welcoming, your setup has a ”homey” feel and the demo’s you show scratch my lighting fanatic brain who fucking ADORES Lumen as a technology. Thank you for the content, brb gonna go binge your entire channel now!
I'd like to issue a small corrective statement! @17:08 I state that exposure isn't linear. That's not... quite correct. Exposure in itself is linear, but our perception of light, values/brightness, and reflectance, is not linear. That technicality aside, an albedo of 0.18 *IS* still the middle-grey value you should be using as a guide to gauge the exposure of your scene, that remains unchanged.
Thanks William! I'd love to see more tutorials about lookdev, lighting and rendering for production in UE5

@@RavetodaGrave I also recently figured this out and was like "oh this is way easy now" xD
No repeating, no rambling, no losing interest, no ambigious knowledge of how lighting works. Great teacher.

Hello William. My name is Marco. I am from Brazil. I want to thank you for your very good lessons! I am learning a lot!

I watched a lot of tutorials but I could not solve the problem. Coul you help me? If you can, how could I send some print screens to you? Thank you.
Can you explain a bit more of the problem? I am doing just that with 8k footage imported into a plane in unreal. Maybe I can help. E podes falar portugês comigo ;)
@@osgawtf Thank you! I import the vídeo to Unreal 5 using png files. Than, I follow all the steps: I create a material, use the media player, put It in to a plane and so on. I followed this tutorial: ruclips.net/video/WWjloYDCXd0/видео.html
Before the rendering starts, in the camera view It appears ok, but when I press the buton "render local" to render, the plane gets black. All the rest of the video renders ok, but the plane where I put the video gets black.
@ Ok I watxched the video and it seems to be the same workflow I am using currently. From what you are saying it would seem the video just isn't playing. Make sure your media track in sequencer is well setup. Make sure it is sending to the same render target on the plane and that it is opening the same img sequence. Also make sure the sequenmce files arent altered. Make sure the is active is on.
You can troubleshoot this in editor by pressing play.
Also check your media player settings.
You can also try to go to the project settings, search for alpha, And set it to linear color space only. I don't know if it might be that but try it.
This is a simple yet hard problem to troubleshoot without knowing the project. Just make sure you have followed the tutorial and maybe ask around in that video comments. This one seems tottally unrealated to your problem.
This is a great tutorial. I come from the Unity engine world and I am a complete Unreal Newbie. I watched some of your other tutorials and I learned a lot every time. You turn me into an Unreal addict and a William Faucher subscriber. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Thank you so much Will, I got a lot out of this video. It not only introduces the basic information about lighting, but more importantly, it tells us a lot about the problems that we will encounter in the real world and the proven solutions!
My most sincere compliments, this is the best, clearer and most complete tutorial on illumination in Unreal i've ever seen. i will advice it in my classes. thank you very much!😀
No tutorials in Russian like that! Very helpful!!! 🔥👏🏻
Just from seeing the professional shot and lighting of ur video a few seconds into ur tutorial, I know this will be a solid tutorial .
This is the best lighting tutorial for UE5 that I've seen yet. I can't thank you enough for spreading your knowledge in such a comprehensive way!
coming from other DCC's this has been invaluable for starting out in UE, thank you.
Brand new to unreal and your way of getting your points across is so intuitive and straightforward. Love this content
Your channel is a blessing for Archviz students
I followed all your tutorials on lighting I must say I got my hands on UE5 in just a few days. love you bro
As a current college student pursuing my degree in Game Design, your video has been extremely useful and helpful. We have not actually gotten to lighting yet in school or at least so far it has not been covered in depth so this video really helped me move forward by essentially giving me a way to start. It is safe to say I will also be watching the other videos you have done and look forward to seeing more in the future. Thank you.
A fantastic resource for not only beginners but for both intermediate and advanced users. Everything starts at the foundations, learn them! Thank you William.
Amazing explanations. When I start to work on lighting that is usually where everything falls appart and look terrible. A quick test on an older project converted to 5.1, deleting all lights and following along with your explanation and... boom... wow... oh my gosh... Soooooo much better in such a small amount of times and clicks. You are an absolute rock star! Thank you, thank you and thank you again!!!
you sir deserve a medal! after years of trying to understand things in unreal engine , you come and ease it out for us! new subscriber right here ! and back on track in unreal engine ! love you're content man ! keep it up !
I want to thank you for creating such an understandable tutorial to help newbies like us. Much respect.
Is this the best lightning tutorial there is for beginners? I would say Yes. Thank you so much I learned a lot.
Having worked with UE4's lighting for a few years now I don't consider myself a newbie with lighting but not when it comes to Lumen so thank you very much for making this tutorial. It was very helpful.
This video demystified SO much about lighting in UE. Thank you for all of your videos and knowledge that you share. You are the MAN!
Even though I'm working with UE for a few years now, I learned a lot of new stuff in this video. Very clear and well explained. Thanks a lot for sharing!
I am currently not work with Unreal Engine yet, but it's satisfying and interesting to watch your and other videos about it. It's also better to follow the video when you don't actually rely on a already existing project. Your videos are very good explained. Even without knowing all the basics of UE. I can follow. You also have a great way to explain things. Just quick and informative without much blablabla which keeps my mind focused.
your tipp at 15min is the best thing I ever get relating lights in UE. thumbs up!
Thanks so much for this, Will! I've been in 3D for a 2.5 decades but am just diving into UE. And you have a nice balance of fundamentals and technical quality settings that have likely spared me hours of troubleshooting. Cheers!
Just Starting out Unreal Engine - Scrolling Trough the the Beginner side of Unreal 5. and this is the first video i watch... this is a Great introduction to not only Unreal Engine 5 but also Lighting in General. thanks for Sharing the info mate!
Well explained tutorial, I am in Game Dev. class in college right now working on a stealth game. This is very helpful, thank you.
Since switching from UE4 to UE5 I'm watching these tuts and always finding some new tricks to make work easier :)
Thank you so much! It increased the lighting quality of my scene drastically (even without ray tracing)
I swear to Allah that you changed my negative idea about this program to way positive idea , you're great man , thanks for the kindness and the amazing content and may God bless you , thank you so much
I call this a Pro video, not a beginner, it accumulated and demonstrated every lighting trick in UE5.
Thank you for this! I'm a developer and not a digital artist so this has *really* helped understanding the tools. I'm slowly building up my videos of cinematic tests and hopefully getting better with each one. Videos like these are vital to helping increase the quality of my content, bit by bit.
This tutorial was so clean, straight to the point, no bullshit, just pure and easy to understand information, I loved it from start to finish, thank you so much for giving us your time and effort

这个视频很棒，让我学到很多。我需要多看几遍，让我来消化我学到的知识。希望Up主能多出一些真的初学者的视频。非常感谢！
The simplicity, elegance and beauty of this thumbnail is unmatched on RUclips. I Just Had to click
I don't think I ever plan on using Unreal, but i've learned alot from this that I can probably use this and apply it in other applications.
A bit of a late comment, but I love your patience and joy of explaining these techniques!
Thank you!
Will! As a fellow educator myself, I will be introducing my students to UE5 lighting using this video. You're tremendous.
I actually can't praise this video enough. This is SO helpful!
I have never used Unreal and I honestly don’t intend to, but I still watched this video from beginning to end. It’s just so nice to watch, your audio mixing feels warm and welcoming, your setup has a ”homey” feel and the demo’s you show scratch my lighting fanatic brain who fucking ADORES Lumen as a technology.
Thank you for the content, brb gonna go binge your entire channel now!
Hats off to people like Will that post so much great information for free.
As once beginner, i can truly appreciate you taking your time to make beginners video and not only advanced material. Thank you!
Coming back 1 year later and it's still the best!
I've been using unreal for 11 years and I learned a bunch of things here!
i am an Unreal5 engine beginner from China.Thanks a lot!
