Unreleased Project - Lighting Mood Tests

These images are from an unreleased project that I had the pleasure of being Environment Art Lead for. They represent an effort to develop a new lighting tool and workflow focused on a dynamic time of day system. All settings are driven via "payload" data objects that contain a list of curve lookup assets driving various settings based on the current time of day value. These payloads can be injected into the "lighting manager" system via scripting or volumes and will self prioritize based on priority values for each setting. This system allows developers to smoothly transition between different global lighting setups at runtime either as a wholistic mood change or with targeted value overrides for things like weather.
