SEEDS (UE4) LIGHTING

Teammates: Weidi Kang, François Grégoire, Joel Caron, Léo Ferland Dallaire, Alex Rodrigue, Vanessa Roy, Pierre Luc Messier, Anthony Makhlouf

Tasks: Lighting, Environment, Montage of the trailer

Duration: 3 months

Description: The last project of my Universities study at NAD. We worked really hard on creating a trailer that would sell the premise to a great adventure. I did the lighting on the project and was assigned various rooms. A lot of the modeling was shared in kit bash to accelerate the creation of assets, so most of my models have parts of my other teammates work.

Lighting workflow: I went for a well balanced GI using mainly LightCards, a technique mostly used in ArchViz work. With this tool I was able to get soft light from a controled source. Having no natural light source it was the best way to created various atmospheres and create high quality bakes in the environment. Once I was satified with the bake I would place dynamic lights to enhance the composition.
