    • Master light types, behavior, and interaction with materials
    • Compose scenes driven by lighting mood and storytelling
    • Execute realistic and stylized lighting in digital painting and 3D renders
    • Build a workflow for iterative exploration and critique
    • Lighting is storytelling – every change in intensity, color, or direction should serve the narrative or gameplay goal.
    • Physical accuracy + artistic intent – use physically‑based units as a foundation, then bend them deliberately for mood.
    • Performance matters – always profile after each lighting addition; remember that a beautiful scene that runs at 30 fps is less useful than a solid 60 fps result.
    • Iterate in context – test lighting on the final platform (PC, console, mobile) and with final materials, not just on placeholder meshes.
    • Post‑process is part of the lighting pipeline, not an afterthought. Proper exposure, bloom, and color grading can turn a good lighting setup into a great one.
