Lookdev

Material + light + camera loop. Screenshot compare. Stop when it reads.

When to Use

  • Finalizing asset shading before export/portfolio
  • Turntable / grey shader checks
  • Matching material references
  • Bridging materials and lighting intentionally

Workflow

Clay/grey pass → Base materials → Neutral light rig
  → Beauty light → Screenshot → Gap list → Iterate (≤3–5)
  → Optional grade → QA

Standard Rigs

Neutral 3-pointEvaluate materials fairly
HDRI studioProduct / character
In-situ scene lightsFinal context

Keep a reusable COL_Lookdev_Lights + CAM_Lookdev_*.

Checklist

  • Values read in grayscale
  • Specular roughness believable
  • Edges catch light (bevels/normals)
  • Emissive under control
  • No pure black / pure white traps unless stylized
  • Matches reference palette if provided

Iteration Rule

Each pass: change one major variable (material OR light OR camera), then screenshot.

Constraints

MUST DO

  • Grey pass before fancy textures when forms unsure
  • Capture screenshots each iteration
  • Hand off to qa-review before ship

MUST NOT DO

  • Fix modeling problems only with roughness maps
  • Infinite tweak loops without gap list
