Studio contribution
Everlight Studio worked with Arrowhead Game Studios’ tech team to develop new tools for creating the various lighting scenarios and the weather system for the different planets.
Other responsibilities included working with Art Direction, level design and the environment art team on planet variation, implementation of environmental colors, lighting, sky and galaxy setup, weathers and post-processing/Final Look for multiple planets in the game, as well as lighting several points of interest, such as human and alien bases.
“(Everlight Studio) really helped us to improve our lighting systems with great ideas, an eye for what’s right and a friendly voice!”
