Materials and Lighting UE5

We are going to be making our level look a little bit better by adding materials and adjusting our lighting.

We are going to be copying over our code from the original level we were working in. So load back up the minimal level and go back into the level blueprint and copy the code. Open up our warehouse level and it’s level blueprint and you can paste the code in there.

We can then add materials to our scene. We can search our content browser filter for materials. When you find a material you like you can drag it onto your meshes throughout your scene.

To adjust your light direction you can go to the directional light in your outlier and select the change rotation and you can rotate your light in your level.

There we go on how to apply materials and work with lighting in our scene.
