Light: Artificial and indoor light
Source - Itchy-animation.co.uk Category - Lighting
Light indoors has a very different character to that found outside, mostly down to the lack of direct sunlight found indoors. With human beings in control of the light source there is an added twist in that the light is often designed for a specific purpose. For instance household lights are designed to give off appealing, generally diffused light whereas office lighting is more functional and cost-effectiveness is often the overriding concern - which is why office workers have to walk around in a green murk.

Light: Natural Light
Source - Itchy-animation.co.uk Category - Lighting
Natural light comes in a wide range of different flavours, and the difference between them can be enormous. The source of all our natural light is the sun, however it takes on different characteristics at different times of day and in different weather conditions, turning this one source of light into essentially many different ones ranging from hard and warm to soft and cool.

Light direction
Source - Itchy-animation.co.uk Category - Lighting
The direction that we view a light source from has a profound effect on our perception of it, and on how the objects in a scene will appear. Choosing which direction your main light is coming from is one of the most important decisions you can make since it will have a great deal of impact on how a scene will appear, and also on the emotions your image will convey.

Light: The basics
Source - Itchy-animation.co.uk Category - Lighting
There seems to be very little information available in detailed form on what appears to me to be a crucial subject for artists of all kinds: light in all the guises in which we encounter it on a daily basis. I\'ve read countless books dealing with digital and traditional art and the subject of light only ever seems to be touched on very lightly (pardon the pun). Yet to anyone wishing to create an illusion of reality should have a good understanding of how light behaves in the physical world.

Mental Ray: Ambient / Reflection Occlusion Shader Usage
Source - CG-Academy.net Category - Lighting
This tutorial covers the usage of this new shader and will hopefully give you some ideas on how to use it. This new shader offers something over and above photon mapping and final occlusion as it is just that, a shader. This means it can be used in any way that you can conceive of, and so in the future it will probably become one of the swiss army knife shaders of many Mental Ray users.

Configuring Lighting for RPCs
Source - Archvision.com Category - Lighting
A designer's use of lighting in a scene will determine the realism and believability of the finished product. This is the most difficult component when working with 3D design applications. ArchVision has worked to create RPCs that compliment a scene and can be manipulated to look good with nearly any lighting scenario. The following documentation will provide information that will help you to configure your RPCs to render attractively and predictably in your scenes.
