It’s a sight to behold from the exterior.

IDK why people are complaining about the Starlancer dashboard size. It's perfect, no notes.

Lastly, I need to shoutout @verseguide.com for the amazing utility in doing these types of productions in SC. It has helped me tremendously in figuring out when sunrise and sunset is, how much daylight we have, etc. It's also great for scouting locations, among other things.

In this case, the sunlight is behind us and off-axis about 20-30ish degrees to the right (relative to the camera angle that faces the front of both characters).

The lighting is by no means perfect, but it allows us to benefit efficiently across multiple camera angles.

With that fundamental in mind, you can angle your compositions in a way that works with the lighting that exists in-game.
- I often position the sunlight off-axis relative to the camera as much as possible. Whether this is behind the characters, or in front.

3. LIGHTING: In a real production, we'd have the opportunity to add negative fill or diffuse sunlight. In SC, our options are limited here, but there's some approaches that work well.

Spirit Breaker was such a fun #machinima project to put together that I’ve also thoroughly enjoyed the process of making little teasers for it. I’m a sucker for big band music sometimes. #StarCitizen
