Last
time we left off by familiarizing ourselves
with moving about the perspective view.
Now its time for...
Part 3
- Lighting
1. Familiarization
with the Lights
First off I am
not going to give you too many definite instructions
on this part.
I want you to learn from experimentation.
Now, there are 6 different types of lights.
I am not going to be talking about
the sunlight system. That will come at a different
time.

We
will be using 2 Omni Lights in our scene.
All of them are pretty self-explanatory!
So lets get cracking on our scene!
2. Lights in our Scene
On the tabbar up top, goto the Lights
& Cameras Tab and click on 'Omni'.
We are using Omni because they provide a nice
all-around light that is perfect for our scene..
Place 2 lights somewhat like this.
Omni 1 is behind, above, and left of the
dresser.
Omni 2 is in front, above and slightly
left of the dresser.

The reason we placed
Omni 1 as we did is to get a nice sheen off
the dresser top.
Yet, if we had not placed Omni 2 the front
of the dresser would be all shadows.
Now lets take a look at the properties of
Omni 1.
I circled the things we changed.

Basically,
going from top to bottom, the properties say
this.
Our light is an Omni light.
It gives off white light.
It casts shadows.
Its light production is at 200% (or multiplied
by 2).
Simple enough isn't it? =)
We changed the multiplier to get a better
reflective sheen off of the dresser top.
We chaned the casts shadows to true because
we want the light to cast shadows! =P
Now Omni 2. The only property we change on
omni 2 is the multiplier. It should be 0.5.
Here is what I have ended up with. If you
have something different then thats fine!
As long as it is somewhat near this
than you're fine.

But
Wait!
Oohh! Ahh! Look at that sheen! Wanna know
how to do that? It's all in...
