Drawing from real production workflows, this course breaks down both fundamental lighting theory and advanced real-time lighting techniques, helping students overcome common struggles such as flat lighting, poor exposure, weak composition, and inconsistent mood. Through step-by-step demonstrations, you’ll learn how to think critically about lighting decisions—from camera and exposure settings to large-scale global illumination using Lumen.
