Light effects

In this weeks lesson we looked at different lighting effects as well as different ways of rendering.



To start with we looked at Active shade rendering which updates automatically when you create new objects. The only problem i found with this is that it doesnt update when you move objects. Apart from this it was very heloful when creating a scene to get a good knowledge of how things look without having to constantly render the scene. The second render we looked at was the RAM player, which allows you to import 2 seperate rendered images, this gives you the ability to view the scene before and after changes you make. This is great for making small changes to the scene to just check how they look.



We then experimented with different light effects. The two i looked at were Volume light and lens effect. Volume light was used to change then intensity and the colours of the light. this gives some different looks to the scene. The lens effects greate different effects usually stemming from the source of the light. For instance there is one titled star which makes the source of the light go off in different directions. Another nice on is the one titled Ring, which gives a ring of light around the source.
