How I Turned a Free Fab Asset Into a Unreal Engine Lighting Show (In 4 Hours)

I set myself a 4-hour challenge: Take a free Fab environment asset and turn it into a fully programmed Unreal Engine lighting show. In this breakdown video, I walk through the process, workflow, and key challenges I faced — including how I solved them — using the same Unreal Engine + DMX techniques I use in my other projects and tutorials. This video builds on: Environment scouting & stage placement Lighting rig design DMX patching and programming Recording lighting data into Unreal Turning a real-time scene into a final render Epidemic Sound (free trial): https://share.epidemicsound.com/8bra2e Timestamps 00:00 Intro 00:42 The Challenge 01:28 Process Overview 03:51 Helpful Resources 04:09 Challenges 05:43 What's next? About this video This episode was recorded in the studio where I work, using a virtual set I designed for our LED volume — which made this one extra special. Huge thanks to the team for letting me play. If you have a project or concept that fits this kind of Unreal Engine + lighting workflow, feel free to reach out. On this channel I explore Unreal Engine workflows, techniques, and experiments, especially where: Live events ,Lighting design, DMX, Virtual production …all collide. Stay connected!
