    This tutorial demonstrates the basic features of Enlighten, including how to:

    • enable Enlighten for an Unreal level
    • light the level in real time using sun, sky and emissive light sources
    • combine lighting components to produce the final effect
    • visualize the ways Enlighten lights actors in the level 
    • visualize the Enlighten lighting resolution in the level
    • understand the way the level is configured for efficient Enlighten lighting

    We recommend you complete this tutorial before using Enlighten.

    This tutorial doesn't explain how to configure your level for Enlighten. If that's what you're looking for, see Set up Enlighten in Unreal from scratch.
