Of course, UE5 Preview was released THE DAY I upload this video, which addresses some of my concerns I had about using UE5 at the time of recording this tutorial. Please disregard what I said about UE5 and foliage *sigh*.

Yeah, was curious, about when you will discover UE5s release ^.^ Preview also have this interesting looking feature of Local Exposure in the Post Process Volume, that seems to help for cases, where you have really bright and really dark places in the same frame (like outside looking into a darker room or cave).

Is this preview like a new version of UE5? I saw the article in the EG launcher but nothing to download : )) I am so lost in this UE universe, used to Houdini's version installs and content.

@@karolinasereikaite8233 You need to go to the epic launcher, go to library, click the + to add a new version, then choose which version you want to install. The reason its so convoluted is that it’s just a preview build, not an official final build

Not only are you one of the few people making content at the intersection of film and UE, you do an amazing job of it. Lighting is one of the things I’ve been working hardest on (both real time and cinematic renders) and all your tutorials have been invaluable. Thank you so much for what you do, I’m excited to see what amazing things you can do in UE5, cheers!

Man, thanks a lot for making tutorials. I've studied in a film school but they've taught me less about the lighting than you did in this tutorial. Your renders are so cinematic, I'm trying my best to achieve results similar to yours! Can't wait for your color grading video

I don't often enjoy tutorials. I do enjoy these! You're an excellent teacher!

I cannot stress enough how important it is to have some understanding of the basic principles to get good results. This is a fantastic video. Thank you so much!

Getting a new PC early April, I can't wait to apply what I've learned with your content to VFX work. Thanks William, you're a legend.

I love the extra info you happen to give us during those tutorials. it's interesting to know that light bounced by moon is actually warm. Anyway great tutorial, as always!

these tutorials are so incredibly helpful, I feel like when I make scenes in unreal I just can't quite get the lighting as good as I want, but all these vids are helping immensely, thanks!

Great video, William! I noticed that you used the details panel to move a few objects in the scene - in case you didn't know, you can also move objects without clicking the transform gizmo by clicking and dragging in the viewport: Ctrl + LMB (X-axis), Ctrl + RMB (Y-axis), Ctrl + LMB + RMB (Z-axis). This also works for rotating and scaling. It takes some time to get used to, but I've found it to be super useful when moving objects while looking through a locked camera. I never click the gizmo anymore :D

William, thank you so much for this video! Amazing

I learned of the reddish moonlight in James Gurney's Color and Light book and was very intrigued of the effect. At the time I distinctly remember a week or so after a night out/early morning surfing that set the countryside in a deep blue tint. Also always glad to see a new video, I pick up a bunch of stuff always!! Thanks for the great work
