I’m happy to share that next week I’m starting a new position as Senior Lighting Artist @turtlerockstudios.bsky.social ! I'm stoked to be joining such an immensely talented team and look forward to building something amazing together!

Having 1 month to light the map allowed for a quick and more free-form lighting process, and this map was generally just a lot of fun to work on. As a big fan of Halo CE's boarding action, the map's design (done by Cliff Shuldt) really felt like it was a bit of a spiritual reincarnation of its feel.

I was responsible for lighting Chasm, a multiplayer map released with Halo Infinite Season 3. Designated as a "quick-map"-an idea to utilize existing campaign assets to speed up the release of Dev-made maps in the game. Usually it takes ~6 months to light a map depending on size, Chasm was done in 1

Being one of the largest BTB maps in Halo Infinite- with a large exterior space as well as very large interior locations (caves, blue/red base, center structure) meant there are A LOT of lights in this map. Optimizing their overlap, shadows, and # of lights was a long task to achieve stability

Oasis was one of the Halo Infinite Season 3 maps that I got to light! This one is really close to besting Scarr for the title of "My Favorite Map I Did Lighting For". And Oasis was DEFINITELY the most difficult from an optimization standpoint. (1/2)

I pushed for more prominent moonlighting on the blue team side of the map, and built out the color pallete of banished emissive lights/lighting (usually just red/white lighting) to utilize yellow lighting and blue lighting on the blue side of the map for player awareness and to avoid over using red

Scarr was the last "released" map that I was the lighter on during my time at 343 on Halo Infinite. It was definitely one of my favorite maps I worked on during that time period. Initially the entire map was much more covered in the intense heat/lava vibes you now see on the red side (1/2)

While lighting Halo Infinite multiplayer maps was definitely my favorite part of my time at 343, I'll always have a soft spot for the campaign work I got to do! From the time I started there until the launch of Halo Infinite, I got to really dive into Zeta Halo and do some really cool stuff!
