Roadmap for Art Career!
1) Past graduation, what is my overall career goal?
The first step is finding a position with the opportunity to learn from more experienced lighting artists. I would not like to be in a small team where I am the end all be all of lighting - I want to learn more! I feel like realistic games have more interesting lighting scenarios - so maybe I would try for a larger AAA company.
2) What type of artist do you want to be?
I want to be a lighting artist! From my research, I have also seen lighters overlap with level art, so I would like to explore that option too.
3) For which companies do you want to work?
I love Ubisoft games, so working on an Assassin's Creed game is the dream. I'm also a huge fan of the EA Star Wars games. Ghost of Tsushima was also very inspiring! (Sucker Punch!)
Action Items:
- clear understanding of color (scripts and color theory)
- properties of light (science!)
- understanding of engines replicating light
- photography
- assembling environments from asset packs and lighting them
