Make your Unreal Virtual Production more realistic. A tool to match real lights with CG ones.

When you composite a real set with a virtual set, your lighting needs to match. Wouldn't it be nice if you could just point to a light in your real studio and have a matching light appear in your virtual set? Well, that's what this tutorial does!

I show how to make an "Editor Utility Widget" that does this. It's very easy to make and you can customize it to do whatever you like. All you need is a tracking system that can track a second object in the scene in addition to your camera. Many tracking systems like RETracker Bliss, Vive, Optitrack, Vicon and others can do this.
