World of Warcraft: Midnight - Lighting & Skyboxes

I was responsible for the zone lighting and skyboxes for Eversong, Silvermoon, and Quel'Danas. There were many changes made along the way in Eversong Woods, but ultimately the goal was to capture the feeling of warmth found in the original zone lighting, and explore new ideas to support the story and art direction.

The lighting in the Lightbloom biomes was made in collaboration between Kelli Hoover, my lead Matthew Heyman, and myself (not pictured).
The void storm is separate from the zone skybox and is made in collaboration between Kelli Hoover on the Environment team and the VFX team.

Additional lighting (point lights and spot lights) is set up by the World Building team, which really helps to make the environment sing and draw attention to certain areas.
