"I love how they used light on their subjects and I wanted to try and emulate that in my photography."
"The lighting side, the mix of volumetrics, dynamic glowing lights, and ambient shading creates something that looks and feels almost tangible yet fantastical."
"Lighting a level is not about technology and progress; it's about understanding the mood and atmosphere each light source creates."
"There's all these really really cool ways to create these modern lighting techniques that are very just good to look at kind of put you in the cutting edge of design and probably get you some jobs if you're freelancing."
"Thanks to the moon's illumination and properly implemented Fornell coefficients, we can also see some room lighting along the edges of the mansion's roof as well."
"A really quick and easy way to get volumetric lighting in your scene."

"The camera-based lighting system has become a defining characteristic of the game's unique visual style."
"If you want to get better at lighting, mimicking for the sake of improvement is valuable."
"We can light somebody in post-production and it looks just as real as if you'd really lit them that way when you were filming."
"Now our project is set up to be able to use 2D lights."
"Now you know how to make 2D isometric lit tile sets in Unity."
"If the light is shining this way, then this side will be a little brighter."
"Combining natural light with artificial light works really great for the urban scene."
"In this video, you're going to learn simple gelling techniques to take a plain room and shot like this one and turn it into these final images."
"If you are using accent lights, a hair light, a background light, or an edge light, you can be subtle."
"We want the light to soften around the edges, especially when you're taking portraits."
