What is the responsiblity of a lighter within a gaming company?

Thanks a lot

What's a lighter (and not a Zippo)?
What does this have to do with Linux?
Is this homework?

A web search for lighter video games turns up lots of different stuff. There does not appear to be one primary meaning.

This might be what you are looking for.

Pick any one of these three, in order of probability:

1. Someone trained in the art of scene lighting who ensures that the cinematic quality and atmosphere is maintained?
2. Someone who has the responsibility to decide on the feasibility of something and has the authority to "green light" it?
3. A toady that ignites his bosses cigarette every time they take a smoke break? (see also "How to break Bob's nose by kicking his managers ass")

I dunno, pointless question without context.

lol, I was spot on with my #1 then

You get the look of the lights right. You might do that by adjusting the materials, placing lights, compositing stuff over the scene, writing shaders, and tweaking the renderer. For stuff that isn't done in-engine (such as trailers and cut scenes), you'd probably use this software:

Your department is close to the end of the activity diagram (called the "pipeline" in industry), so all the last-minute work will be dumped on you. Note the lack of a smiley, because I'm serious. (hint: you know how game testers complain about their jobs? They're even further down the pipeline).

Another list of job ads, which also includes film and TV lighting jobs:

I'm actually fairly surprised that someone who knows the word "lighter" needs to ask this.

Double post

I've usually heard terms like "Lighting Engineer," "Lighting Specialist," or even "Key Grip" – simply because "Lighter" still makes me think of Flick Your Bic®.

"What? Am I old enough to have seen that clip on television?" Why ... why ... harumph ... these kids today ...

"Lighting Artist"
