American Cinematographer - August 2018 - 65
contrast of the HDR output.
Over the course of my career, I've
learned to trust my eye. When I got into
real-time rendering, though, I started
questioning everything. In this world,
you hack, fix and change things in order
to best approximate the results you're
used to. The physics behind your artistic
approach become very important.
On set, we don't really question
light. It exists, and we shape it to behave
the way we want. In video games, it's
different. Light is conceived specifically
for what you want. I therefore had to
reverse-engineer a lot of what I do on
set. It wasn't so much about how we do
our tricks, but why. Then, with that
understanding, we could ask: How do
we obtain that same behavior, but without adding all the junk in front of the
light? It made me look at lighting from
a whole new perspective.
This is only possible thanks to
these engineers, these optimization
specialists. I am constantly amazed by
what they can render on screen in 1⁄30 of
a second. There are huge memory
constraints, obviously - but that's what
makes it interesting. It's thanks to these
constraints that we're forced to innovate
constantly.
Quantic Dream is about pushing
the quality and visual experience as far
as possible. The tech we developed that
did not make it into this project will
certainly be of use in the near future,
either because hardware specs will make
it possible, or because the team will find
new ways to optimize it. The beauty of
the video-game industry is everyone's
eagerness to share. Game-engine developers share their knowledge and techniques every year at the Game
Developers Conference, allowing the
industry to evolve much faster.
Detroit: Become Human was a
great experience because it was so
collaborative - not more than film, but
differently - as so many people had a
strong impact on the final look of the
game. It's been fascinating to be
involved and see it come together. ●
