Night Times Unreal Engine Lighting Kit

Realtime Designer: Lighting Kit

As the demand for interactive 3D content grows, game engines are becoming increasingly essential in the graphics production process. At Nighttimes, we recognize the value of these tools and have invested in building designer-friendly plugins to bridge the gap from post to live production.

The primary benefits of using game engines in production is the flexibility to produce diverse deliverables that can be adapted across a variety of platforms and devices, including virtual and augmented reality. This flexibility is especially valuable in product design, where clients require 3D visualizations under tight timelines.

Streamlining production

Realtime Designer is changing the game by utilizing the power of game engine responsiveness. Teams can rapidly iterate on their designs and instantly see the results in real-time. This agility allows for the smoother and more efficient workflows, enabling teams to deliver top-quality results while meeting client deadlines with ease.
