Lighting For Games Tip💡
You can change your screen to black and white using a hotkey without downloading any plugins. It's already built into windows.
Analysing your scenes in B&W is very helpful for balancing the value hierarchy of your project. ⬇️
You're Done! Test The Hotkey Out💡
No need to send it over to Photoshop all the time, leave that for your bigger passes, this makes it way more flexible for everyday tasks. ⬇️
You can find more free content for both Environment and Lighting Artists on YouTube.
