Our Verdict

The Unreal Engine 4: Beginners Guide to Lighting is a solid starting point for anyone new to UE4 lighting, providing beginner-friendly lessons that build a foundation. However, those seeking more advanced techniques or in-depth explanations might find it lacking and will need to look elsewhere or rely on their own exploration. Additionally, the course could benefit from an update to address changes in UE4 and Lumen lighting.

What We Liked

  • Covers the fundamentals of Unreal Engine 4 lighting in a beginner-friendly manner.
  • Individual topics are taught in focused, short videos for easy review.
  • Includes practical examples and exercises that build on previous lessons.
  • Clear explanations of common problems and solutions.

Potential Drawbacks

  • Lacks depth in certain areas such as dynamic and static lighting usage and advanced properties exploration.
  • Some subjects are glossed over, leaving things for the learner to explore on their own.
  • Outdated due to Unreal Engine updates and new Lumen lighting.
  • Limited guidance on interior or real-world lighting scenarios.
