Blender to Unreal Engine - 3D Plants and Vegetation - HDRI Lighting

This video tutorial covers setting up a Blender scene with improved lighting. It begins with deleting the default layout and creating a new light source. The tutorial then guides through importing an HDRI sky for better ambient lighting and adjusting shading settings. It also explains changing the rendering engine to Cycles and enabling denoise for better quality. The video concludes with final adjustments and preparing for the modeling process.
