Outdoor lighting
Exterior lighting is made from several actors combined; specifically, you must use some of the following actors:
- Directional Light (also called atmospherical light): This is used for the sun/moon and is the main light source in a scene.
- Sky Light: This captures the background and projects it back as an ambient light. It requires SkyAtmosphere or SkySphere actors to work.
- Sky Atmosphere: This component works closely with the directional light to create realistic or stylized sky and atmosphere effects for different planets and times of day. It also supports ground-to-space transitions with proper curvature and perspective. It has various properties that control the sky and atmosphere appearance.
- Sky Sphere: This is an alternative to Sky Atmosphere but is less commonly used. It is a geometric mesh (spherical or hemispherical) with a sky material applied. You can define the material properties to customize the look of the sky and bind it to directional...
