I wanted a very dark mood for nighttime scenes that I felt would integrate seamlessly with the rest of the game. I researched various games and movies to see how firelight would play on a character’s body in movement.

Lighting Items:
Working with pickup items that glow, was a very interesting process. I had to go into the Blueprints of the item and attach a point light to each item and fix the color of the light and make it available for me to work on the intensity and attenuation radius, and volumetric scattering.
It was very easy to adjust once the base color was chosen and to test out during gameplay.
