Balancing dark scenes across multiple displays is “horrible.” It's more about surveys than lighting—asking, “Is it too dark?” The struggle is real for game lighting artists! #GameLighting #UnrealEngine

Three keys to leveling up your craft: lighting to create mood, feedback that pushes you, and patience. It's scary to put yourself out there, but that's part of it. #lighting #filmmaking

Feedback isn't personal; it's about the work. Separating yourself from the creation allows for growth. Constructive feedback should focus on the "we," not the "you." #CreativeProcess #Feedback

Artistic growth isn't about copying, it's about critique. That moment when a pro shows where the color falls flat? That's when it clicks. #ArtistDevelopment #CreativeProcess #ArtCritique

Critique is valuable, but “online comments can be really tough.” One should find a trusted community for feedback. Common feedback might be more important than one-off opinions. #animation #critique

Understanding the feedback loop is key. Just watching and absorbing lighting rounds – even without participating – accelerates learning and dramatically improves skills. A crucial insight for anyone starting out. #animation #rendering

Even though Blender is incredible, with a great community, it's not easily adjustable into a workflow as some other tools are. Also, companies are reluctant to use a free tool. #workflow #Blender3D

New grads often over-focus on software instead of mastering fundamental art skills. Companies need artists who can make "anything look good," regardless of the tools used. #SkillsGap #CareerAdvice

Careers should be about more than just a job. What if work was a "quest" to help others? One artist found fulfillment by guiding people into the world of 3D. #careeradvice #3DArtist
