Light the levels after textures are done

  1. A. Environment Artists do a final pass on the level lighting after the textures are at first pass.
  2. Art Director, Level Designer, and the Game Designer review the lighting.

Now the lighting artist and the texture artist can see what colors they need to use and where they should be placed. The texture artist has to finish first before the lighting artist can finish up, because textures can affect the color of the lights. Again, they both look at the color story board art to see how to make the scene look. The color art represents the art director’s vision for the scene.

Once the first pass of lights are placed, the Art Director, the Level Designer and the Game Designers then check the work to se if it looks good and that it works for game play. The lighting artist does a second pass, and maybe even a third pass till it is final.
