UE4: Create Overcast Day Lighting with Sky Atmosphere

Full Blog Post with Additional Information: www.worldofleveldesign.com/ca...
Overcast day creates a very distinctive atmospheric feel - melancholy, somber, emotional, quiet and desolate.
Overcast lighting scatters light in all directions and removes strong light and shadows. This introduces additional artistic and technical roadblocks you wouldn't normally experience.
In this tutorial I will show you how to do overcast lighting using Sky Atmosphere.

Thanks so much for sharing :D

WOW! PHENOMENAL TUTORIAL! Just followed along and got the exact result I was hoping for in UE5.2. (aside from the visible clouds, but I'll come back to that at a later date!) Thanks so much!

Is it possible to get the same cloud material? I tried following along to create one from scratch from your video but it doesn't seem to work in UE5 for me. Right after adding the odd custom programing 'x' section to the material the clouds disappear.

[@MajesticAesthetic439]

Kindly do the same for Unreal engine 5

[@gabrielkardos4342]

Shouldn't this be done with volumetric clouds ?
