Global Light Rig

Hello again!

A lot of posts today. What a surprise...!

This assignment is for Advanced Lighting and Rendering class.

We were made to setup a lighting rig using directional lights with less intensity at different angles. I kept 20 directional lights on top and called them SKY LIGHT and 20 directional lights on the bottom and called them GROUND LIGHT.

This setup gives a soft light and shadow.

Take a look at the results:

This render is with Maya's default light. I have not setup any light yet:

Here is the render with global light rig setup. You can see a soft light being produced:

Here is the render output which is got with the global light rig and a directional light. You can now see a soft light in the previously dark area. A shadow with faded edges can be seen:

Model credits goes to Thomas Flynn, you can find the LAMP POST MODEL here:

That's all for now!

Thanks for visiting!

Bye!!
