Lighting Issues

 

Light going under the flat surface.

    Look at this. It's another problem. Or is it? Seems like based off my research, Unreal is going to do this. Its just too thin! And unfortunetly that's just the way it is.

    I imagine this could be a problem in a future if it isn't solved, especially if lighting comes from inside a source. We'll just have to see.

Stabbing in the Dark.

I've done large projects before. I built a fursuit, created the game Rocket Brigade: https://www.rocketbrigade.com , and another being the creation of Machina and Magic:  https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/367981/machina-and-magic-core-rulebook .

If you are able to make motivation happen, you can keep things rolling. Part of every battle is keeping motivation afloat. The more motivation you have, the more s...

Yeah, I don't know what I am doing wrong either. With Unity or Godot, it was as easy as putting it in there and switching the rendering to transparent, but Unreal doesn't think like that. Not to mention this default project has so many lighting and camera effects going on, I am curious if that's the reason its not working as believed.     Well... time for more experimentation. Oh yeah... and maybe I need to upgrade that graphic's card.
