Environment Light Rig Device

Environment Light Rig provides a way for creators to add global world lighting to their island.

Start with the adjustments that matter most, like time of day, sunlight color, skylight color, and temperature. After these, you can add more refined changes, like lens flares or lens effects such as vignetting and chromatic aberration.

Think of it as a way to create custom sunlight, moonlight, horizon, reflections and much more. Bold, incremental changes are recommended to establish a middle ground for your natural lighting. Create your project’s base lighting first with as few adjustments as possible, then work on the unique look of your project.

Establishing your base lighting with minimal adjustments means you won’t have to start from scratch with your lighting every time you make adjustments.

The Environment Light Rig controls the lighting for the entire island, therefore you can only place this device once.

Disable the Time of Day Manager from World Settings to use this device.

Learn how to use the lighting tools in UEFN to craft custom environments for you island with the UEFN Advanced Lighting video tutorials from the Learning Library.
