How would you create this lighting technique? (controlling light with geo intersection)
Hi, I am trying to reproduce this lighting technique which I theoretically know how it's done, but I have no idea how to execute it. Right now I am using Maya, but I would also like to know if this is possible in Unity (which I have minimal experience with). In short the shading is not controlled with physical lights but… -

Re: "The Maestros" Art Render Test Scene: Lighting and Set up help
I for one am no lighting expert, and these are just a few suggestions you may want to try. I would go with point lights with the appropriate color for the crystals.

Re: Lighting Portfolio Feedback
To add to the already mentioned critiques, looking at the Sun Temple work, I think there's some inconsistency in the light directions and colors. The day time lighting should be brighter and there should be more direct sunlight hitting the foreground statue on the right (depending on sun direction). I say this because the… -

Re: Experience with per pixel lighting?
Just wondering here, what's with the "tweak a spec map on a per light basis"? Does this mean you are required to alter a spec map depending on what lighting situation the texture is in? I assume you're not talking about altering the actual specular map image itself, more just values associated with it? Surely you can just…
