The branching story of Detroit: Become Human<\/em> lives and dies on the robot-filled dystopian future that defines its setting. That future is told through a number of visual indicators, one of them being the game’s lighting technology. How was that technology implemented?<\/p>\n

At GDC 2018, Quantic Dream’s Guillaume Caurant shows how the Quantic Dream team transitioned their lighting system to only use photometric units based on real life measurements for Detroit: Become Human. <\/em><\/p>\n

It’s a helpful talk for programmers working on lighting systems everywhere, one you can watch up above or for free on the GDC YouTube channel.<\/a><\/p>\n
