Unreal Engine 5 Lighting Fundamentals

虚幻引擎 5 通过新的 Lumen 光照引擎实现实时全局光照，显着提高了实时光照的质量。然而，仍然有无数的照明工具、技术和工作流程必须很好地理解，才能充分发挥个人在场景或关卡中设计和优化照明的体验。在这篇虚幻光照系统的基本概述中，Charleston Silverman 展示了他经过生产验证的流程，这对于任何渴望掌握虚幻光照工具集的艺术家来说都是至关重要的。

本次研讨会涵盖了一系列工具，从静态照明技术到 RTX 和 Lumen 等全动态照明技术。Charleston 介绍了 Unreal 中一些必须了解的更高级工具，包括 Light Mapper 和 Path Trace Render，以及体积光照、粒子光、光照函数、IES 配置文件、反射、天光和 HDRI 背景，以及后期-加工技术。此外，Charleston 还介绍了他改进 UE5 项目的优化、质量和性能的工作流程。

本教程旨在为虚幻引擎新手或从 UE4 迁移到 UE5 的人员提供有价值的见解、提示和技术。本次研讨会提供的项目文件包括查尔斯顿的房间/洞穴虚幻项目。

Title: The Gnomon Workshop – Unreal Engine 5 Lighting Fundamentals

Info:
Unreal Engine 5 has dramatically improved the quality of real-time lighting through its implementation of real-time global illumination, through the new Lumen lighting engine. However, there remain myriad lighting tools, techniques and workflows that must be well understood to fully maximize one’s experience designing and optimizing the lighting in a scene or level. In this fundamental overview of Unreal’s lighting system, Charleston Silverman demonstrates his production proven processes that will be critical to any artist aspiring to master Unreal’s lighting toolset.

This workshop covers a range of tools, from static lighting techniques to fully dynamic lighting techniques such as RTX, and Lumen. Charleston walks through some of the more advanced tools in Unreal that are essential to know, including the Light Mapper and Path Trace Render, as well as Volumetric Lighting, Particle Lights, Light functions, IES Profiles, Reflections, skylights and HDRI backdrops, and post-processing techniques. Additionally, Charleston covers his workflow for improving the optimization, quality, and performance of UE5 projects.

This tutorial is designed to offer valuable insight, tips, and techniques for those new to Unreal Engine, or those migrating from UE4 to UE5. Project files provided with this workshop include Charleston’s chamber/cave Unreal project.
