Bonus Points: Lighting a Scene in Maya

As mentioned in the last post, we used the software Maya to create a scene—making a floor, a wall, and using the initials of our name as the subject with the addition of lights.

For my first light, I used the spotlight to create the strong shadows of the letters.

My second light was the ambient light to add fill lighting.

The third light I used the directional light for rim lighting.

My last blog post has the original image.
