I used to think my lighting portfolio was solid with cinematic shots, decent renders, cool environments.
But I wasn’t getting replies. No callbacks. No interviews.
Turns out, beautiful lighting isn’t enough in today’s game industry

As time progressed I realized some key things that needed to be accepted

• The industry is competitive and flooded with talent. More so now with companies shutting down and massive layoffs. See image below.

• Studios are hiring people who can solve problems like lumens, light mass baking for VR, exposure mismatches, light mass noise, GI leaks, not just make pretty shots

• Many artists don’t know when to use Lumen vs CPU vs GPU, and that shows in their scenes

• It is really difficult to learn art, tech and innovation alone.

 
 Lay offs since 2022 are increasing.

I built my first lighting course a few years ago and recently I developed the Ultimate Game Lighting Education course based on the workflows I’ve used in production on games like Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon, As Dusk Falls, and Off The Grid to name a few.
Since launching 2021, I’ve seen students land jobs at EA Games, Super Massive, Retro Studios, Ubisoft, Avalanche, Studio Gobo, 11 Bit Studios, and more, not by doing more art, but by lighting smarter. 

"Amit and the lessons he taught me in my mentorship were key to landing my first job in the industry. He helped me build upon my composition and color skills while also introducing a lot of the technical aspects of the career.." - Thomas

"For a long time I was looking for various training courses, tutorials, etc. that would allow me to enter the world of Lighting Artist in the game development studio. After many weeks of searching and conversations, I came across Lighting Bot Academy. I knew then that I was in the right place. I received a good dose of information and a strong foundation to start my adventure as a Lighting Artist." - Dawid

Even if you already took another course similar to these students you will grow and benefit many times through my course material.

• Unlike before you go through multiple environments, time of day and optimization workflows.

It’s over 187 lessons and trusted by 20+ studios. And the lessons are not going to stop.

I gave an offer to join at 25 USD, then 59 USD, then 129 USD, then 249 USD and kept updating videos and price accordingly.

Hey,

I like making extra income on the side as much as anyone else but I love helping people in the process. I see a lot of people struggling, getting laid off and it is even harder to pay for premium content. My content is on premium pricing and level normally, worth 500 dollars to 4000 dollars.

But...what I don't like is people not getting access to this content in a time of need. So, I am giving Part 2 of our known proven Lighting Course for less than your lunch food right now. If you didn't grab part 1 it is recommended to do that first, as it builds upon it!

I have had 500 people so far learning for free this year and I have seen people teaching it forward, getting work, and even promotion. So, I assure you every part uses a different approach to explain the same concept for maximum impact.

So, if you like the content consider liking, following, sharing, and mentioning it. If you want to really support more content then consider joining as a member. Below are various links just click the one you are comfortable with, or to decide what works best for you.

Here is Part 1 if you didn't get it already.

Here is part 2 released today.

Here is full video collection, mentorship and more on our website.

Here is my personal youtube for more free content.

Here is the other youtube for Lighting Bot for interviews, workshop and so on.
