Lighting set-up question..
by Michael Munkittrick on Aug 25, 2006 at 4:20:42 am

Hello again. I am trying to complete a scene and I can't seem to get the lighting right.

How does one go about getting the large, white, rectangular lighting that you see in a lot of the cyclorama shots? Can I build an area light with a high difusion and soft shadows and manage to get that look?

Thanks again...

Yep, that would be a good approach. Either that or use a sky object with global illumination. Put a luminous texture on the sky and be sure to turn off the autolight.

Thanks Adam. I actually built what amounts to a stock library of different "window" shapes.
