Tiebreak | Lead Lighting/LookDev

TIEBREAK: Official game of the ATP and WTA.

For Tiebreak 23, I defined lighting and look development across tennis gameplay, stadiums, character academy, and career-mode cinematics. This was the first project where I define the lighting approach that I later carried forward into AFL 26, Rugby League 26, and Cricket 26.

My work focused on improving visual consistency across gameplay, broadcast-style cameras, stadium views, and cinematics, while balancing atmosphere, colour response, light/probe usage, ambient occlusion light bakes, and lower-platform performance constraints.
