Thanks for posting these, they look really good! A quick question regarding the lighting process. As a lighting artist do you have some involvement in the environment art/level building side of things?
For example if you're lighting a scene and think that "A glossier material in this part of the scene would help to have a brighter highlight to lead the player this direction..." can you do those adjustments yourself or would you have to have someone else to do it?
Hi Sugus and thanks ! It depends a lot for the place and if we have time, but for a main mission, yes we have our word on the position and material use, not for everything of course. When you start to light a place you see some new details with the color use, the intensity, shadows...so we ask to adjust some parts to have the better feeling for the player, it's like a final vision.
