1st, Thank you sir for this 2nd, Abstract Lighting! That's what it is, I've labeled it in my head as Weird Unusual Cinematic Lighting 😐

Great presentation. I've been interested in going back to lighting since I've been doing a lot of practical lighting for short films in the past year.

Its a good talk very informative my top point how do you guys learning game optimisations thats the biggest hurdle bottle neck for me all the time like where to use static / dyanmic / movable concept of light is always confusion are there any good resources on that like a holy bible where someone has covered all these points.

Good point, a lot of it is really learned once you're in a studio, as it depends on the target platform and system you're using. For now the best thing you can do is limit your shadow casters and general light attenuations, and be wary of point lights with shadows and how far they stretch/how many you use. Plan to do some sort of optimization video in the future though of some additional tips, stay tuned :).

@@EMC3D This is quite reassuring to know that studio is willing to train on that that's like half the battle solved, I guess the point is to create a good showreel and start firing it and see what happens. We tend to highly avoid sphere lights in film and TV as well it's mostly soft box area lights + Domes or physical skys that are super advance like in Vray + Arnold for realistic looking renders to match to the set photography. Keep these talks coming I will be following it closely how you guys work in games some nice and informative tips there!
