Light and Material

First Project
A downloadable game for Windows

This past week I have been playing around with material's and lighting.

In the pictures I have tested spotlight, point light, area light, and directional light. Each light has it's uses but it seems that directional light and point light are the most useful (as of right now at least). Directional lighting was very interesting as I was able to change the sunlight on my whole map. I also figured out you can only have so many lights in one area before UE5 gets mad at you. 

Material's were interesting to say the least, I would like to dive into them more as I feel that I've only touched the surface of there abilities.
