Example Video

A quick video how to create a kitchen with this product.

The demo levels uses Lumen dynamic lighting in the Unreal 5 and baked raytraced lighting in the Unreal 4 version.

Having said that, the modular kitchen works in any lighting environment you have chosen for your project. All meshes have light maps . Although Epic Marketplace approval requires small lightmaps. Feel free to increase the sizes a bit if necessary. They work ok as far as I can see.

For compatibility reasons the meshes have Nanite not enabled. You can batch enable Nanite if desired.

Lumen Documentation

Blueprint Actor

Place the BP_KitchenBuilder in your level. Open the details panel and expand Modules. Add at least one module to be able to rotate the actor and put it in the starting position. The origin is located on the left side of the kitchen cabinets at the back wall.

Black numbers identify the ID of the modules. They only appear in the editor and not at run-time, or in game mode. Press [G] to toggle game mode.
