Lighting Artist The lighting artist creates lighting and shading elements within game environments and scenes. Using software such as Maya or Lightwave, they apply lighting effects to completed environments and character art that is consistent with illustrated concepts and level designs and ensures consistency across all concurrent scenes. The artist is concerned with matching the lighting to interior environments, noting where the artists have placed objects like lamps, windows, or other sources of illumination. Likewise, for exterior locations, the artist is cognisant of the time of day within the context of the story, appropriately applying lighting effects to correspond with the position of the sun, moon, or outdoor sources of light.
Stockholm, Sweden Stockholm is the capital of Sweden and the most populous city in the Nordic countries; 952,058 people live in the municipality. The city stretches across fourteen islands where Lake Mälaren flows into the Baltic Sea. Just outside the city and along the coast is the island chain of the Stockholm archipelago. The area has been settled since the Stone Age, in the 6th millennium BC, and was founded as a city in 1252 by Swedish statesman Birger Jarl. It is also the capital of Stockholm County. Stockholm is the cultural, media, political, and economic centre of Sweden. Stockholm also features a video game museum called Spelmuseum. One out of 10 people worldwide has played a video game from Sweden. Sweden’s video-game boom in the last half decade is one of the biggest success stories in the industry, fueled by a talented and creative workforce and the fruits of years of government support for education and technology. The country boasts the second-highest concentration of video-game studios per capita in the world.
