Deferred Lighting - making Alien Isolation like lighting in UE 4

RickiPicker · Dec 2014

Hello,

I had short chance to finally try by myself Alien Isolation and I'm amazed how lighting is making awesome mood there. I'm trying to make same type of lighting in my scene.

I would like to know how to make this type of scenes in UE 4.

In this article i read that its made by "deferred renderer"

Whats the work-flow for this kind of thing ?

Do i have to just set all the lights to movable and thats it ?

Thanks for any info and help
Regards

All lights in unreal are rendered using deferred rendering. You don't have to do anything to use it.

To get a scene with the same kind of atmosphere as alien isolation has nothing to do with how the scene is rendered. I would suggest starting by using dramatic shadows to set the mood in your scene.
