I recently had the opportunity to run an introductory workshop to lighting in Unreal Engine for LTU (Lawrence Technical University). This workshop was completely free for all participants as it was funded by the Epic Mega Grants through LTU and was run fully remotely through Discord. This will be a 4 part video series (3 Modules) that captures the entire workshop. Each video or module will cover a different aspect of the model preparation workflow for Unreal Engine.
