New Video is out!

Watch the full tutorial and learn how to build your own modular lighting rig in Unreal Engine:



In this video, you'll learn how to build a modular, reusable studio light rig using Blueprint no coding needed. Use it in your cinematics, product shots, or anything that needs clean, fast, and flexible lighting.

 


What Will You Learn?

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to build a fully reusable studio lighting rig using Unreal Engine Blueprint
You'll discover how to:

  • Set up and control different light types like spot, point, and rectangular lights inside a single Blueprint

  • Organize light settings using structs, enums, and arrays to keep things clean and scalable

  • Use construction scripts to make real-time changes in the editor

  • Create and apply lighting presets with data assets to speed up your workflow

  • Avoid messy, spaghetti Blueprints by breaking logic into neat functions

  • Build a system you can reuse across any scene — game, archviz, or cinematic

This isn't just a step-by-step build — it's a blueprint for your lighting workflow going forward.

What Will You Be Able to Do When You Finish?

By the end of this tutorial, you’ll have a fully functional, reusable lighting rig Blueprint that you can drop into any Unreal Engine scene. You’ll be able to:

  • Instantly add and control multiple lights with custom settings like color, intensity, temperature, and type

  • Switch between light types (spot, point, rect) inside one clean system

  • Build and apply lighting presets to save time and stay consistent

  • Tweak and preview light setups in real-time using the construction script — no need to hit play

  • Customize your rig further with structured data, clean Blueprint functions, and scalable design

  • Spend less time on repetitive lighting tasks and more time on creativity

Whether you're lighting a cinematic, visualizing a product, or setting up an archviz scene — this system gives you complete control and speed.
