Title: Dramatic chiaroscuro lighing in beta 16
Post by: eilif on February 27, 2004, 07:44:23 PM

The new lighting in ah2 is exelent from an artistic point of view. It defines the forms much better and lends to a new over all dramatic aptmospher to the game. The bold gradiation into dark siluets make you feel like your in a wwII movie. Which is basicly done by making the light way more powerful. I use this style of lighting for my paintings and ink drawings. At least in principal.
and heck you dont need to make so many little gadgets with this lighiting since shadows swallow the imperfections.

Not to mention it just looks cool!

 thanks Pyro!

I have to back that up 100%.  On the ground it appears to be a little much, but in the air, it is unbelievable.  It is amazing how one little change makes the look so much more 'real',
