I think you should keep the left side of the picture darker to break up the area. Perhaps not pitch black like in the older image, but darker, as everything is lit quite uniformly in the newer image. It can be interesting to have areas of varying light intensity in an area.

Secondly I think that you should assign the lights other colors values than the default ones. You can do this by either creating new entities with a pointlight attached which has a tone of orange you like or by simply having entities which have no light, later placing pointlights in the leveleditor. This because there are so many environments with the 'default' color values, so to simply experiment with other color values can make an environment feel 'new'.





I talk some about how I approach lighting. This isn't 'correct', merely how I think about it. I think that it could be viable for you to have the smaller 'focus lights' I'm having in the first video, as you are working with a wet area/metal piping. Try experimenting by adding some focus lights at pipe sections lit by a lightsource.


I think that you've created a nice area :] GL.

Won't be participating, best of luck to everyone doing. Will be interesting to see the final results!
