BSW - CAA - Lighting Tutorial in Maya

Lighting Tutorial

Below are the series of renders I have taken at the different stages of the tutorial by Alan. I have taken renders of each different light used and the different effects that come with it. I have learned a lot about the lighting, how all the different settings work and the difference between the Maya and Arnold lighting. I feel as though I can confidently light my scene now and if I am stuck I can just refer back to the videos!

I am happy with what I produced here letting myself be creative and lose which I am working very hard on. The main problem that Justin had with this is that it was unrealistic... It is more of a stylized piece rather than an actual thing people would work on and use, which is fine because it was not specified that realism was wanted. We were then tasked with creating an interior of a character given to us. Mine was an Aztec priest so I started researching what that entailed. They used to ...

BSW - CAA - Finches Concept Art - In progress

Finches Concept Art - In progress I have been continuing the finches piece after the research I carried out and I have finished another finch. I have done this one in a more cartoony style as I am exploring my choices for the animation. It has bold, consistent lines and boxed colours to make it pop and it has a big eye that makes it stand out. As of now, I am swaying towards the cartoon style more as I feel like a video for educational purpose, it will draw more people in...
