Old West Scene - Relight

For this week’s assignment, the objective was to become familiar with lighting for seasonal events in games.
For my seasonal event assignment, I chose to design a winter holiday scene set in the formerly arid Old West Learning project. To add festive charm to the rustic setting, I incorporated string lights, holiday decorations, and incorporated the Easy Snow blueprint into the mix. These elements transformed the scene into a frosty celebration of winter.
The visual style of my project emphasizes icy blues and grays with low saturation, perfectly capturing the cold, atmospheric feel of the season. Muted colors, soft lighting, and cool tones create a serene ambiance. Snowfall and fog obscure the distant scenery, lending a dreamlike quality that envelops the old town in magical stillness.
Set during an overcast winter day, the scene is softly illuminated by a muted sun. In Da Vinci, I enhanced this effect by adding a pronounced glow to emphasize the frosted textures. The interplay between the festive lights and the desaturated, wintry backdrop creates a harmonious balance of warmth and chill. This contrast makes the lights stand out against the cold landscape, evoking both coziness and the enchanting stillness of winter.

Happy holidays, everyone!
