Scifi Railroad Terminal Facility - Relight

Hello! I finally managed to set aside some time to share renders of a scene I lit a couple of weeks ago, and I’m really happy with how it turned out. As usual, my references come from films and TV series. I find that these side projects are my favorite way to train the eye and hone attention to detail while having fun.

For this one, I used the Sci-Fi Railroad Terminal Facility scene as a base and reimagined it with the worn, atmospheric charm of the post-war settlement from the Fallout TV series. I started with a bright daytime version, focusing on mood, composition, and environmental storytelling, and then couldn’t resist taking it further with a full nighttime variant.

Lighting was done entirely in Unreal, using a custom 3D LUT in the post-process and Lumen real-time lighting. All fixed lights were built using custom blueprints, and I implemented the new EasyAtmos blueprint to add dynamic bug swarms around the light sources for extra life and immersion.
