Western Desert Town - Relighting UE5
This is a relighting that I did of a free scene on the Epic store. I altered the level art for aesthetic reasons (camera framing and such).
Most of the work was done in Unreal Engine 5, but I also practice my tonemapping skills in Photoshop.
All in all, it was a fun little project.
This is the tonemapped version of the next frame. I lifted up the whites and added some blue tones to make it less monochrome.
Interior scene before photoshop.
Same framing as the previous one with a different lighting scenario.
Exterior scene before photoshop.
Tonemapped version. It was a bit too contrasted for my taste and a bit too cold for a western environment, so i lifted the shadows and adjusted the colors.
Second exterior scene without photoshop. I was looking for a darker and more stylized kind of lighting.
I Made it less dark just to see how it would look,
It reminds me of a lovecraft novel. I'm not sure though, i've never read one.
