This is my interpretation of the Lighting process originally presented by Pasquale Scionti in his TH-cam video “Creating ‘The Rocky Forest Path’ Part 1: Initial Setup”.
I added a few optional tweaks that I found helpful based on my experience using his lighting process.
I take NO credit or compensation for his Lighting process and I want to thank Pasquale Scionti for sharing his knowledge and expertise in his video with the Unreal Engine Community.
