Role and Responsibilities
Lighting Design & Implementation:
Develop, place, and fine-tune lighting solutions to enhance the mood, depth, and realism of virtual environments within Unity targeted at ARM/Snapdragon based devices. Optimization & Performance Tuning:
Ensure lighting effects are optimized for real-time performance while maintaining high visual quality, adapting techniques on mobile devices. Technical Art Collaboration:
Work closely with the art and engineering teams to develop and integrate lighting solutions that support storytelling and gameplay needs. Shader & Material Adjustments:
Utilize and modify materials, shaders, and post-processing effects to achieve cohesive and immersive lighting effects. Color & Atmosphere Control:
Manage color grading, exposure, and volumetric effects to achieve desired aesthetic goals across diverse learning environments. Lighting Pipeline Development:
Establish and refine workflows, tools, and best practices to streamline the lighting production process. Troubleshooting & Debugging:
Identify and resolve technical issues related to real-time lighting, shadows, and rendering performance. Cross-Disciplinary Communication:
Collaborate with artists, designers, and programmers to translate creative direction into practical and effective lighting setups. Requirements
