Total time: 100 minutes
Goals: The Crate (Set-Up and Lighting).
Today I finished with the set-up of our scene (positioning of the camera and lights), and began to set up the lighting. As I said previously; you'll spend plenty of time tweaking the lights, rendering, tweaking, rendering, etc. Get used to it. Keeping your render settings low can help speed up things (via shorter render times) however. In these videos; Dan shows you the different types of lights and shadow types, and how they work together to create the look you are going for. In the following renders below, you'll see how I progressed from the static set-up (Lightwave default light and camera set-up), to a more robust scene...utilizing radiosity, backdrop ambient lighting, and additional lighting.
You'll also notice that Dan takes you back to modeler for a quick tweaking of the boards; to "mess" things up a bit. Nothing's perfect, right?
