BuildingEscape - My lighting setup, and a quick tip for more than 4 lights

Just finished the lighting tutorial, here’s what I did.

Also, the spot lights add in as stationary lights (and I presume the others as well), not static ones. Which means if you add 4 or more of them you will start getting red x’s on them if they overlap, a quick Google search shows that if more than 4 stationary lights (not fully baked ones) overlap, then any overlapping light after the first 4 will become dynamic and you’ll get a warning when building lighting. Just set them all to static lights to fix this.

Another option is to decrease the attenuation radius in the lights properties. You’ll see a blue sphere outline that you can adjust.

That is true, however if you want to light the entire room with 4 lights you’re going to want to have them overlap slightly (or use a single “main” light for the room and just have the spot lights for effect)
