Hi Guys,

Im new to UE4 and starting from the Lakehouse template by ue4 archviz.

I got tons of questions and need your help.

  • Why the shadow of the origin cabinet remains even it is moved? (On wall and floor)
  • Why the new imported OBJ cabinet does not have shadow on wall and floor?
  • Why the moved origin cab is darken?
  • What does it mean by “LIGHTING NEEDS TO REBUILD”?

Many thanks for your time!

Best regards,
Leo

The scene is using static lighting, and static lighting bakes lightmaps and shadows for static objects. If you move a static light, or a static object, you need to rebuild lighting to update the light/shadows. Clicking the build button will rebuild lighting(or you can look under the build menu to only build the lighting).
