thetanman Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I need help on the lighting. Could anybody give me any suggestions for making this scene look like it took place in the daytime? I don't want to use radiosity. Please, I need help. This is going to be entered into the image contest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunsofamerica Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 give the leaves some reflectivity. not to much, but just enough to make it shine. try adding a lens flare too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkaos Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I don't think a lens flare would be very appropriate for this scene, unless you change the angle of the sun. I would simply try changing the light color to a really soft yellow / almost white. The global lighting setup seems pretty good and it already looks like it is in full daylight to me. Try experimenting with different light colors, but keep them really fairly close to the white side of the spectrum. Very cute ladybug...I dig it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatso Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 You can get a strong suggestion of sunlight by having one light yellow light overhead and all other lighting very light blue. Also experiment with light yellow specular reflections off hard surfaces (eyes, wing covers). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_black_mage Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 this image might help on your grass settings... i guess if the glow thing didn't work then try phatso's suggestion.... adding a sense of time rather than mid day...theres lots of effect you can get...but with this scene you can go as abnormal as you want to! and your material settings are just as important as you lighting also one more thing i just noticed, on a lady bug the head and legs are connected to a base body so in other words the legs and body should have the same material....

thetanman Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 Here is hopefully the last render of this ladybug. Do you guys think that this one is good enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtaz Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Hi Tanner ... I suggest you to use Ambience Occlusion.. I use this light setup in my robotic ladybug : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_black_mage Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 also see you used an enviromental map(or a back ground image) as well... and tanman the lady bug still needs specularity man... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
