Project Takeaways
This was a project that I expanded my knowledge of realtime lighting to further enhance gameplay and visuals. This was my first attempt at using only realtime light sources to light a scene. I wanted to learn proper optimization of realtime scenes with improved visuals. I utilized Unity’s HDRP pipeline to implement fog and post processing effects. This project was also heavily under time constraints, as I only had around 5 weeks to complete it. Overall, it turned out well, even if I would light it differently today.
