You've just learned about the fundamentals of lighting and how it is used in 3D graphics. In the next section, we will explore the three traditional lighting techniques.

The three traditional lighting techniques

Three traditional lighting techniques are commonly used in 3D animated movies, films, TV, photography, fine art paintings, and stage performances. These are Key light, Fill light, and Rim light.

When you want to use any of these three lighting techniques, you need to create custom lights in your scene. You can use any of the following light types in UE5 for your lighting techniques: Directional light, Point light, Spot light, and Rect light. We will cover these light types in the next section.

You can use these traditional lighting techniques in combination with realistic lighting methods, such as Lumen, or you can use them by themselves.

Let's go over these three traditional lighting techniques now.
