Hey guys, what’s up? Term 03 is over and we are in our “almost one week” break of school. LOL. More details about how was the Term 03, I will detail in some of the next posts, ok? For now, I’m here to talk about the Environment & Lighting Class<\/strong>. I can not speak for everyone, but I think the biggest surprise of this term was this class. Everything that we learned and even the projects that we did were amazing. Seriously, one of the best classes of this term!<\/p>\n

Environment & Lighting Class was a seven session course – inside the Game Art Streaming<\/em> – in which we were introduced to the most fundamental elements of lighting and we learned how to apply these lighting principles into our game projects. The class was instructed by Vincent Chi<\/em>, and he focus on the artistic and technical aspects of game lighting, plus hands-on lighting techniques practiced in each class. We studied the purpose and function of lighting, the power of it, the color of lighting, shaders, textures, light shapes, light pools, shadow, fog and post color tinting.<\/p>\n

Vincent Chi<\/em> is an EXCELLENT teacher, seriously! Its incredible how he teaches the class in an exciting and responsible way. You can clearly see that he loves the subject, and he want to teach us with all heart. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

Each class we were instructed with a different and important lighting fundamental element, and in the end of the class we needed to practice these new techniques learned, in one of our UDK scenes. In the end, in total, we had to submit only two assignments, both following the same idea. We needed\u00a0to search for a Visual Target and then recreate the same lighting in our scene. We had the option to execute this visual target lighting in an UDK scene that we already have done, or we could just recreate the whole scene, based directly in the visual target.\u00a0 What was considered for these assignments were:<\/p>\n
