SimplePBL is a lightweight Unreal Engine plugin for quickly setting up physically based lighting.

Create predefined lighting scenarios for Sunrise, Day, Sunset and Night, or use the included Time of Day Controller to blend between them and build a complete day/night cycle. The lighting presets are stored in a Data Table, so their values can be adjusted or extended to suit your project.

SimplePBL also includes a small set of atmosphere presets for quickly testing Warm, Cool and Foggy lighting conditions.

For local lighting, the plugin can create several commonly used light sources with sensible physical defaults:

• Candle

• Torch

• Brazier

• Streetlight

• Lightbulb

Candles and torches also include optional flickering behaviour.

The plugin is intended to provide a quick starting point for physically based lighting while keeping the resulting setup editable and familiar to Unreal Engine users.
