[CSENews] Today: 3D Lighting and Rendering Tech Talk

[Teresa Isela VanderSloot]

Today at 6pm in Studio D of the Com Arts Building Jon Moore from Iron 
Galaxy Studios will be giving a tech talk titled "3D Lighting and 
Rendering in Modern Game Engines." Jon is an MSU Alum and currently 
working at Iron Galaxy as a graphics engineer. His work focuses on 
rendering tech for several mobile-based projects on iOS, Android, and 
Windows Phone 7, including updates to the Android platform support in 
Epic's Unreal Engine 3. In this talk, Jon will discuss techniques that 
improve the performance and quality of rendering and visual capabilities 
of a game engine. The results create larger and more impressive games. 
This adds both complexities to the code and can have significant visual 
implications important to programmers and artists alike! Iron Galaxy 
Studios is a Chicago-base professional game development studio, focusing 
on big console technology including games for Xbox 360 and Playstation 
3. Look for Iron Galaxy's next release Divekick, a 2D fighting game that 
relies entirely on two buttons! Thanks! -Dan
