Source type is the parameter which defines what kind of light would be there in our final render and what kind of shadows, saturation and contrast would it create. What do I mean by source type? you may ask. While working with lights or say it other wise, while lighting, we all forget one very simple thing, which is, what is the source type of our light. There is a very fine line between something being amazingly realistic render and something being amazingly awesome render (but not realistic) and the fine line is defined by the light and shadows. Observing the nature is really important, and in fact the key to be a successful Lighting Artist, because nature can’t charge you for what it may teach you.Īnyway, the main reason for me writing this blog is to tell you guys about the lighting phenomenons and what you should keep in mind while working with lights in your 3D software. Look up to the sky and you will understand how clouds can change the light or what is the color of the sun. Look out of your window and you will see the dance between lights and shadows, look inside your house and you will find spots which are perfectly lit and spots which are perfectly “non-lit”. “Natural Lighting” is the best tutor for any one who aspires to be a lighting artist because you can see nature everywhere. It is from my research and experiments that today I can talk about “Natural Lighting” and can use the phenomenons in 3D renders. The camera pulled my attention towards “Photography” and made me do research, a lot of research, trust me! I bought my Sony Xperia P recently and was fascinated with the camera quality of the device (thank you Sony for creating such a superb camera and for your WhiteMagic Technology).
