Lighting
Last week I started looking into lighting my environment. Lighting is an area Im not too confident in so to aid me in the process I watched some lighting videos on the Gnomon workshop. The videos covered how lighting works In UE4 and how each of the lights can be edited to give the desired effect.
I used what I learnt in these videos to make a first attempt at lighting my environment. The lighting still needs lots of work, I still need to add a Photography Softbox light in the corner off my scene to add some emphasis to the tattoo equipment .
Materials
I also started looking into materials needed for my environment. Through research I have found that I am going to need three different materials for the walls and one material for the floor. The wall materials are; Plaster Board, Thermalite Brick and Regular Bricks. The floor material is just a Wooden Plank material. I initially was only going to have one material for the walls but through discussing with my tutor have now decided to use three as it will make the environment look more realistic.
I have made a start on the regular brick material and have implemented it into my project to get an idea of how it will look. The material still needs work but some progress has been made.
Plan
The plan for the next week is to continue working on the Hero Assets and Materials needed for my environment.
