Do you still rely on traditional three-point lighting in your UE5 projects? I find that it can lead to over-lighting in simple scenes, and it's not clear why it works sometimes but not ALL the time. Well I want to introduce you to Upstage Lighting, an even SIMPLER technique to know exactly where to place your lights!

In this video you'll learn:

How to create Eye Lights in seconds using Rect Lights
How to make your Point Lights look like Area Lights
A deep understanding of how to improve your portrait lighting

After using Unreal Engine on-set for the Virtual Production of Avatar The Last Airbender, I've been obsessed with creating Hollywood-level VFX inside of Unreal 5.

I hope this framework helps you do the same, and you can learn from the many mistakes I've made along the way.

Let me know what you think and if you learned something new, I'd really appreciate if you could share to help someone else improve their lighting!
