One dramatic thing you can do is bring the intensity of the key light down, and increase
the Fill and Radiosity settings.Have the key light only as an accent so that the light is primarily
lit from behind.
The Next Step
The information in this chapter can be applied to any type of scene you create in
LightWave, from outdoor scenes, to sets, and even fantasy-type renders. It can be applied
to any of the exercises and projects in this book. These basic lighting setups and core functions
apply to all of your LightWave work in one way or another, either in simple or complex
form. Use the information here to branch out on your own and create different
lighting environments. Use lights to your advantage??”remember, there are no wires or
electric bills to worry about when creating virtual lighting situations. You don??™t need to
worry about lightbulbs burning out either!
Experiment by adding more lights to your everyday scene or perhaps taking some away.
Use negative lights, colored lights, dim lights, overly bright lights, and whatever else you
can think of to make your models and animations look as good as they can.
