Lighting :

For the lighting, I used mainly spotlights and area lights in the scene. Area lights are better used for the main light source, to achieve more natural raytrace shadows. I used spotlights to add fill lights into the scenes, part by part. The reason I used a lot of lights in the scene is because I didn’t want to use Final Gather or Global Illumination. To add realism, I used a decay rate of quadratic in all my lights to achieve soft and fall off lighting in the dark. I also used light linking to help me more easily control the objects I wanted to light or exclude (Fig.11).

At first, I just cast the top main light on the main character. I wanted to show the contrast between the light and shadow in my image more. But without the bounce and fill lights, the scene appeared too dark. So I gradually added in more diffuse light around the scene. Finally I added a fog light in the top right corner to show some air volume when light traveled passed (Fig.12).

Compositing :

I separated the image into three passes only, which were Beauty, Occlusion and Reflection (Fig.13):

  • Beauty pass (Fig.14)
  • Beauty and Occlusion passes (Fig.15)
  • Beauty, Occlusion and Reflection passes (Fig.16).
