In this quick tutorial, I’ll guide you through enabling shadows for translucent objects in both Unreal Engine 5.4 and the latest Unreal Engine 5.5. While the new Mega Lights feature in Unreal Engine 5.5 offers powerful lighting capabilities, it has an issue where translucent objects do not cast shadows by default.

Perfect for creating cinematic and immersive environments!
