Exposure baseline
Start with neutral values and validate readability across key spaces and camera paths.
Lighting Calibration
Build a stable lighting baseline in Unreal before final polish
Lighting is where converted scenes either feel production-ready or visibly inconsistent. The fastest strategy is baseline first, style second: neutralize, validate, then art-direct.
Recommended sequence
Reflection sanity pass
Check glossy and glass zones early to catch mapping and contrast issues.
Controlled post-process
Apply grading and bloom carefully so architectural clarity remains intact.
For stakeholder-facing reviews
Over-stylized lighting can hurt trust during design approvals. Keep visual language readable, especially for VR walkthrough sessions where spatial orientation and comfort are critical.
