Light setting in UE5​

Concept: two empy glasses and bottles are the center of the mysterious night scene

​

  • cold rect lights behind the windows reflecting on the curtains (car parked outside)

​

  • cold rect lights reflecting onto the bar (moonlight)

​

  • warm light coming from above behind an object so it reflects the light and shadow on the wooden rail (sense of a real person glancing overthe stairs, light coming from the 1st floor)

​

  • soft point light on the right side of the shot
