MLB 09 The Show Blog - Lighting Explained (Playstation Blog)

[Russell_SCEA]

Playstation.Blog has posted another MLB 09 The Show blog. This one talks about the lighting in the game.

Quote:

"Lighting was a major focus for us this year, and we implemented a Global Lighting model. What does that mean? It means that objects are lit by their surroundings. It means that when players are in shadow, they can still get light from the sunlight hitting the dirt just beyond the shadow’s edge, or a bright wall behind them. It means that in stadiums, red floors cast red light on neighboring objects. It is another step towards that realism we all want in our baseball game. How do we do all this? Well, I can’t give away our secrets, but I can give you an overview of our lighting model. There are several steps we take to make each image, and we make 60 of these images every second."

That was all pretty epic! It just shows how much is really put into this game, and the little things certainly count for something!

This is the blog though, right? As in, they weren't about to answer (with crystal clarity) the question about day games, as to some it's still fuzzy.

I'll tell you what.
When we were there.....he showed us on his workstation and it really was amazing.
It's incredible how much goes into just lighting the stadium....let alone "building" them...creating them...

These guys are excellent at what they do.
