Ancient Temple Ruins | Relight

This is my latest real-time lighting study in Unreal Engine 5.
Once again, lighting proved how powerful it is - the same environment can tell completely different stories depending solely on light and atmosphere.
Without changing any assets or materials, I focused entirely on lighting to reshape the mood, depth, and overall perception of the scene.
For this study, I created 4 different lighting setups, exploring various times of day - morning, daytime, sunset, and night - and how each of them transforms the ruins and their emotional tone.
