Adding Lights to Your Scene
Follow these steps to create a basic lighting scheme for your scene. Remember, you can access the menu for adding new objects to the scene with the Shift + A keyboard shortcut.
1. Select the light in your scene or create a new one if you don’t have a light yet.
2. Duplicate the light and place it to the other side of the scene to fill the shadow areas.
3. Arrange the intensity and colors of your lights so that the one on the right is brighter, while the one on the left is dimmer and has a different color. We want the main light to come from the right, so that one should be brighter.
