Lighting

Lighting is a huge process within the pipeline; it can either make or break an environment. In my scene, I used one directional light, one skylight, and a mix of point lights and spotlights. The directional light acts as the primary light source and represents the sun in this scene. The skylight is used to capture distant parts of the scene and apply it to the scene as a light. The point and spot lights act as secondary light sources to fill the scene. To try to get the perfect lighting I went back and forth between the directional, point, and spot lights editing the intensity, inner and outer cone angle (for spotlights), attenuation radius, and indirect lighting intensity until I got a desirable result. When it came to the temperature of the lights I wanted to maintain a realistic look so I used a temperature of 3800 Kelvin to give off a nice soft, warm light.
