Is it possible to setup instances in Houdini so upon load in Unreal they will generate Unreal Point Lights ?

There's no easy way to do it at the moment. But this has been asked before so I'll bump the priority on this RFE.

Great ! my little project realy needs it

And if your wondering why this is a screenshot from Houdini Engine skyscrapers I am doing in Unreal.

Cool! I can see why you'd want instanced lights.

Yeah it would be great, is it a hard thing to implement ? I mean, and it might be a hard question to answer, but how far into the future might it be ?

Sorry, can't say for sure when we'll get to support lights in Houdini Engine.

Ah what a shame, have to place thosands of lights manually instead

Instancing lights does work in Unity though.

Aaah you evil evil ! already spend so much time learning how Houdini Engine works with Unreal It's looking like this now.

Wow, looks awesome!

Thanks, I've also sort of come to the conclusion that probably ‘Use Emissive for lighting’ would be even better if it worked than point lights, and perhaps easier ? But obviously point light's would be awesome to.

Here is some more inspiration for Point Lights and Emissive lighting support in Unreal HE

Oh yes I posted other things there, but since this is work in progress I will wait..either till im done or abodone it hehe Made alot of progress today.

Come to think about it, it would be very cool if I could besides point lights also generate reflection spheres

Here is a new pic.

+1 for instancing lights in Unreal!!!
