by Joshua Kinney

In this series of Unreal Engine tutorials, we'll discuss the many different parameters found in a post processing volume.

What you'll learn

In this series of Unreal Engine tutorials, we'll discuss the many different parameters found in a post processing volume. We'll start out by learning how to enable and disable the default post processing effects and how to add a post processing volume. Then we'll take a look at how to change the color of our scenes by exploring the Film parameters and the Scene Color parameters. After that, we'll look at how to create a consistent color grade for our levels by creating a Lookup Table. Then we'll discuss the parameters that affect our lighting like bloom, lens flare, and global illumination.
