Rural Cabins | Relight

This is the result of my real-time lighting practice in Unreal Engine 5.

Lighting never stops amazing me - it’s incredible how the same scene can feel completely different just by changing the lighting. Without touching any assets or materials, light alone can redefine mood, depth, and atmosphere.

For this study, I created five lighting setups from scratch - daylight, foggy atmosphere, sunset, fantasy lighting, and night — exploring how lighting shapes perception and storytelling in real time.
