Level Design Workshop: Blockmesh and Lighting Tips

Let’s have a look at another amazing GDC talk dedicated to level design from Naughty Dog’s David Shaver and NYU professor Robert Yang. 

In this 2018 talk, David Shaver and Robert Yang discuss techniques that developers from Respawn, Naughty Dog, and many other companies use to establish natural level flow via blockmesh design, environment art, FX, audio and scripting. But that’s not all. You can’t miss this talk because it will tell about one of the most important yet often overlooked means of understanding levels called light.

It’s #Blocktober, so we figured it’d be pretty cool to watch this talk right now. Don’t forget to share your favorite Blocktober tweets and discuss the talk in the comments below.
