The Artefact Lighting Study

These images are the result of some relighting experimentation using Lumen in UE5. I was inspired by the work of Simon Stalenhag and Friendly Robot, both of whom use moody natural lighting to great effect, and tend to tell eerie stories through their inclusion of some decayed future technology or other-worldy subject.

The environment used is [SCANS] Gate Backyard, by Scans Factory:
