im doing a quixel cyberpunk scene inspired by the ones that quixel themselves have been doing. but so far i am fairly lost for getting the lighting right. it either turns out too bright and sunny or its pitch black and you cant see anything. ive tried importing an hdri but it doesnt realy get the effect im looking for. do you guys know what to do?

Hello!

I suppose you are addressing yourself to the community as we do not provide Lighting Lessons/Technical Support but I can guide you a bit as I'm a CG Lighter myself. There are many many ways to light a scene. First question is: what software and renderer are you using?

Cheers

i am using unreal engine 4 for the scene. from experience it is much different from regular cg software like blender or Maya.

A bit different indeed. I'm only specializing in offline rendering unfortunately. I will not be able to help you beside some theory. Have you look at some Lighting Courses or free YouTube tutorials about cinematographic lighting in UE4?
