Hey everyone! I need help, pretty quickly, I need to find the best/good winter lighting for a survival game.
What are you attempting to achieve: Good lighting for a Winter Game. What is the issue: I can’t find a good or a decent Winter Lighting that I can use for a survival game. What solutions have you tried so far: I have searched through the DevForum and the Wiki.
NOTE: I didn’t know what category to put this in, this is my first time using DevForum! Sorry!
I’m not very experienced with lighting but what I would do is have alot of fog (make sure the fog color is set to white) and probably a winter skybox. You’ll want to do more but as I said I’m not very experienced with lighting. But that’s at least a start.
As @Bitterman1021 as you said you want to achieve winter feel in your game
Here’s Your solution:-
Use Terrain with colours close to institutional white
Light blue colour for Lightining and configure the opacity/brightness of light such that the opacity should be as less as possible yet affecting the surrounding giving a feel of chill and cold atmosphere.
Take a look at photographs related to winter season like one showed below to accurately understand emphasis of light blue lightning and terrain colour on the atmosphere of any world.
Use a white or blue sky like this one, add an atmosphere with 0.1-1 density and 1 offset, and set the EnvironmentDiffuseScale to 1. Easy winter lighting.
