Pirenesi interior lighting
-
Can someone tell where to look for using interior lighting, I'm just using it, i.e. parallel, spot, etc. There's nothing really to see in
the book. Any suggestions -
hello,
You can find the basic functions explained in one of the tutorial videos, "night scenes" for example.
http://www.piranesi.co.uk/products/product_videos.asp#night
The lighting tools in Piranesi are quite easy to understand by trial and error, too.
(first click for source, second click for target, parameters for intensity and source offset, after you can even tweak direction and angle)
Night scenes need a little more detail work on textures and reflections to look right.
Take a look at how contest winner Ecco Lau uses lighting here: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=29823
Pay attention to how he paints glows, uses color contrast and applies higlights only patially to create depth.
(btw: there is no real difference between interior or exterior lighting in Piranesi since it performs more a calculation of "paint" rather than light calculation like other render applications.)If you could specify a little more what you are trying to achieve, maybe post an example or reference picture.

Basically I do interior work, I've tried using the spot light and point.
But I don't understand the different settings, I know that it's trial and error, but man is it frustrating.Thanks
