Hey all,
Since a couple of weeks I am helping out with all the lighting work on the game I am working on.
I am quite new to all this and I was wondering if there any lighting artist here on the forum who have some good resources related to the topic.
And to expand the discussion, what do you think are the core skills of a good lighting artist?
Cheers,
Robbert
Read this before even trying to light: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Digital-Lighting-Rendering-Jeremy-Birn/dp/0321316312/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1338470994&sr=8-1
Then absorb all the tips from here: http://forums.cgsociety.org/forumdisplay.php?f=185
Thanks Demno.
I read the first book, was a really great introduction to lighting and rendering.
That link about the lighting challences is perfect. I was not aware of it on cgsociety.
I agree about the book, it’s a bit pricey but well worth it.
