Report In: Lighting Interview!

A new blog page on the Arma 3 website, check it out below....

Lighting is a big part of the improvements planned for Arma 3. Its development touches upon the overall ‘look and feel’ of A3, the underlying gameplay, and influences performance and engine optimisations.

Advancements to to the way the engine handles high dynamic ranges has enabled us to overhaul the feeling of night time operations, giving us the tools to create much richer scenes, and giving players a number of new gameplay opportunities.
At the forthcoming E3 (June 5-7), we’ll have a lot to show, and most of our content really benefits from the new ligthing and clouds technology. Today, though, we offer an early look at our work by way of a quick chat with Arma 3’s Lead Artist, Pavel ‘Gugla’ Guglava, who talks about some of the fantastic advancements to lighting, taking a look at how these new changes improve the overall aesthetic of A3, the underlying gameplay, and more!
 

“Thanks to some  key changes in HDR, we’ve been able to finish most of our ‘wish list’ of improvements to lighting, point-lights and even in light-emissive materials. The goal was always clear: make the lighting as realistic as possible.”
