I am now very proud to announce I have been working on the upcoming Red Dead Redemption 2 for several months. We are finally ready to show the very first trailer of the game.
“Developed by the creators of Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption, Red Dead Redemption 2 is an epic tale of life in America’s unforgiving heartland. The game’s vast and atmospheric world will also provide the foundation for a brand new online multiplayer experience.”
GTA V Online DLCs
I participated in the production of multiple updates for the very successful online module of GTA V, such as the large Heists DLC featuring brand new coop missions, the Lowriders DLC allowing further modifications for your cars, the Bikers DLC offering new illicit activities and the Import/Export DLC featuring several new sports cars and large garages.
I designed the lighting for several eclectic interiors such as a couple of underground and high-end car mod shops, a high performance weed factory, a state-of-the-art methamphetamine lab, a couple of biker hideouts, a luxury yacht, a dance club, a secret bunker, etc. Furthermore, I created the lighting for the in-game cutscenes of the previously mentioned DLCs.

GDC Europe 2013: Shining the Light on Crysis 3
This presentation is part of my talk at the GDC Europe 2013 in Cologne, Germany. The 50 minutes session goes through the production of Crysis 3 and showcases important lighting principles for creating appealing scenes.
I also explain how physics can help create better materials and textures, using physically-based rules, and how the CryEngine lighting features were used in Crysis 3 to create one of the best visual experiences in a video game.
Furthermore, several case studies provide a clearer demonstration of the methods and workflows I used to design the lighting for outdoor, indoor and cinematic scenes.
Enjoy 30 additional bonus slides as well, that were not shown during the talk, as 50 minutes is rarely enough to talk about such a wide topic of discussion.
