Blog Post #6: Lights? Oh, yeah…

Well, lights can be difficult. That’s all I’m gonna say…

Just kidding. But not. It’s been a troubling week in the name of progress as the lights and skydome are simply turning everything blue. And even though we have a very nice art piece on the skydome, it just lights from all directions which does not help with mood lighting at all. AT ALL. One thought was to create an Arnold skydome behind the other one and let the light pass through the art sky, but I couldn’t seem to find anything that did that. I know there’s a way to get the camera to see through objects but I’m having trouble finding something that does it with Arnold lighting. That and the aiFog is just not working. I wonder if it is because of the scale of the scene? Makes me question why we had to make everything life scale for a project about fantasy New Orleans. But, not my operation to be making many decisions. I just Light here.

Anywho, safe to say, I am on schedule but feel very behind schedule. So it’s a short one as I continue to find solutions to the crux of problems I find myself in. Hopefully, the next time will have the bearings of fruit and joyful mouth noises! Until then!
