Bright Eye

Light where you need it.

Bright Eye is a lightweight Unreal Editor work light. It lights up dark areas of the level viewport while you work, so you do not have to place and later remove temporary lights. Bright Eye adds no Actors or other content to your level, and turning it on does not mark your map as modified.

Version: 1.2.0

Unreal Engine: 5.0–5.8

How it works

Bright Eye centers on three interactions, each with a default shortcut in the level viewport.

Work Light

X

Turn on a spotlight that follows the level viewport camera.

Cursor Aim

Ctrl + F

Hold to point the light at your mouse cursor without moving the camera.

Quick Panel

Ctrl + T

Adjust brightness, beam width, range, smoothing, and color in the viewport.

Scope

Bright Eye is an Editor-only tool for the Unreal Editor level viewport. It does not light Play In Editor (PIE) sessions and has no packaged-game or runtime functionality.
