The first step to creating impressive final renders is learning how to configure appropriate lighting for your scene. In this tutorial, we?ll start off slow, covering essential tools and techniques you?ll need to know in order to get the most out of your renders.
To get started we?ll take a brief look at each of the major light types, learning key
attributes of each. Next, we?ll focus on Maya spot lights and some of the specialized features that come with them. From here you?ll learn about loads of important tools and techniques including the difference between Depth Map Shadows and Ray Trace Shadows, as well as how to simulate illuminated light sources and the importance of render stats. Finally, we’ll go over how to link shadows and lights to objects in your scenes as well as how to create volumetric light fog.After completing this training, you?ll have a great foundation to building on when it comes to setting up the right lighting for your own scenes.
Warning: Be sure to scan all the downloaded files with your Antivirus and if there is an executable or installer file, make sure to have your antivirus active and open in the background while installing or running the app. Some of the materials posted here are downloaded from CGPeers, So they could potentially have something injected in them.
We always ask bloggers to scan all the files before publishing the posts, but sometimes it's hard to detect all these things, so if you found anything suspicious (Not false positive, Generic, Patcher, Riskware and Heuristic results, most patches could get false flags like that by some Antivirus companies.) be sure to post comments with the file name and a VirusTotal report result link or the file MD5 Hash (higher than 30% overall positive result). Thank you.
Thanks again, Diptra!
