New page

This is the hub page for anything about lighting in maps.

In technical terms, lighting is fairly simple: place many [[Legacy:Light|Light]] actors in the map, [[Legacy:Rebuild|rebuild]] and the map is lit. Good lighting is an essential part of a map's atmosphere.

===Classes:===

* [[Legacy:Light|Light]]
* [[Legacy:Sunlight|Sunlight]]
* [[Legacy:Projector|Projector]]s
* [[Legacy:Actor/Lighting|Actor/Lighting]], in every actor
* [[Legacy:Vertex Lighting|Vertex lighting]]
* [[Legacy:Light Effects|Light Effects]]

(UT stuff follows, needs updating & sorting)

==Technical==
*The [[Legacy:Light (UT)|Light (UT)]], [[Legacy:Light|Light]] actor and its subclasses
*Light properties are set at the actor level under [[Legacy:Actor (UT)/Lighting|Actor (UT)/Lighting]], [[Legacy:Actor/Lighting|Actor/Lighting]] .

===Static Lighting===
* [[Legacy:Lighting Basics|Lighting Basics]]
* Examples of [[Legacy:Colors|Colors]]
* Using [[Legacy:Zonelight|Zonelight]] to provide ambient light to a whole unzoned level or a zoned subsection of a level.
* [[Legacy:Shadows|Shadows]]
* using [[Legacy:Special Lit|special lit]] & unlit surfaces
* the lightbox decoration. Have DrawScale settings to make it line up perfectly to the more popular light textures.
* [[Legacy:Lightmap Errors|Lightmap Errors]]

===Dynamic Lighting===

Obviously there'll be crossover from [[Legacy:Dynamics|dynamics]] here.
* triggered lights
* worth mentioning here (and under sound too) the cunning trick of using TriggerLight to make triggered sounds that use a looped sound.
* dynamic lights
* Scripted Light Shows
* the [[Legacy:TriggerLight|TriggerLight]] class spec
* [[Legacy:Movable Lights|Movable Lights]] – How to make a light movable! By: ZxAnPhOrIaN

===Lighting Effects===
* [[Legacy:Bloom|Bloom]] – lunticular halos in UT2004.
* How to create (true and fake) [[Legacy:Fog|fog]]
* A [[Legacy:Corona|Corona]] is a texture that looks like a flare and is applied at the light source. Its size is always the same relative to the screen. The effect often mistakenly called a "[[Legacy:Lens Flare|Lens Flare]]".
* palette loop modulation
* modulated light

===Tutorials===
* [[Legacy:Place A Light|Place A Light]]
* [[Legacy:Lighting Strategies|Lighting strategies]]

* [[Legacy:Building A SkyBox|Building A SkyBox]]
* [[Legacy:Adding Sunlight|Adding Sunlight]]

==Related Topics==
* [[Legacy:Mouse Control|Mouse control]]s for moving lights in 3D viewport is the same as [[Legacy:Brush|brush]]
* [http://www.planetunreal.com/lode/lighting/lighting.html Lode's All About Lighting Tutorial] covers everything in one page.

==Comments==

''Feel free to reorganize things, suggest new topics to cover and start new pages.''

'''Sobiwan:''' We have [[Legacy:Topics On Mapping|Topics on Mapping]] and [[Legacy:Topics On Materials|Topics on Materials]] as hubs, so either:
# this page should become [[Legacy:Topics On Lighting|Topics on Lighting]]
# those page names should be truncated
# they should all be renamed to something different such as ''topicname Hub''.

I vote for #1.

'''odo324:''' Umm...
# Neh. Add that as a sub-title if you want, but the current title makes perfect sense. “Light” will give you the actor, while “Lighting” will give you a list info on “unreal engine lighting” in general.
# Dear Lord I hope not! Truncated names incur confusion. Complete words are easier to remember. Some people prefer to simply type the page’s name in the address bar, instead of mindlessly navigating through multiple pages.
# I ‘would’ agree, if was a series of articles (such as: [[Legacy:How_UT2003_Weapons_Work|How_UT2003_Weapons_Work]]), but it’s not. Further more, individual pages may have multiple places it could belong to. Adding some kind of suffix-title would be impossible for all circumstances. Regardless, it’s best to keep things simple anyway.

Do we need a “''How to''” page about creating hubs (like this one) for the Unreal Wiki?

'''Tarquin:''' See [[Legacy:Guidelines On Page Creation|Guidelines On Page Creation]].

'''OlympusMons:''' I think [[Legacy:Lighting Topics|Lighting Topics]] would be a good name for this, since tarquin suggested changing the [[Legacy:Topics On Materials|Topics on Materials]] page to [[Legacy:Material Topics|Material Topics]].
