Class OVERVIEW

Understanding light for digital environments

This grade volition demonstrate a practical approach to in-game/real-time lighting within the context of a production pipeline. We will exist working in Unreal Engine, equally it is an hands accessible platform, but the workflow and techniques will be presented in every bit much of a software-agnostic format as possible. This is because many studios use either proprietary or heavily modified engines that are unique or exclusive to that studio's pipeline. These techniques will utilize to any contemporary pipeline. The course will guide students through weekly examinations of different lighting scenarios, environments, and gameplay styles. The instructor will demonstrate his own lighting approach, and the workflow that he uses to get them from a conceptual country to a working playable level. All necessary scene files for each calendar week will be provided.

John Griffiths

Omar is a superb artist and teacher. His lectures and feedback were easy to follow and helped to highlight areas of weakness in a submission. Omar showed us multiple means to tackle lighting in different environments, the maths behind it, and tools to accomplish results. It is a great course for anyone who wants to find their anxiety in the surface area simply also pushes them to try new workflows and experiment.

Daniel Huddleston

The course completely changed how I approach lighting! Calibrating skies, exposure, and lights for physically accurate values was a game changer.. I feel like this class gave me a foundation of knowledge which I can use to light any scene.

Gina Levy

I knew the basics virtually the sunday, indicate lights, spotlights, and CLUT. Only to actually learn how to calibrate the sky, and go deeper into the post processing was really helpful in making my lighting popular. It really helped me think like a Lighting Artist and what steps I need to do and how to debug my lights.

Yaroslav Nykyforuk

For me, grade helped to break downwardly lighting porocess into steps (information technology is obvious, just i didn't think about 'blocking out' in terms of lighting previously), showed me how to approach it and where to start. Also it made me enlightened of aspects to keep an heart on, while going through previously mentioned process. Things like phisycal correctness of a heaven and sun, and more artistic like accenting on some areas, simply with for e.10. pockets of low-cal and shadow.
