Simulated Lighting
Simulated light illuminates a model using light sources similar to real-world lamps, bulbs, and fixtures (Fig. 24.1, Fig. 24.2). Typically used for interior renderings, simulated light is created by inserting and placing light sources throughout a model (Fig. 24.3). The light sources can be directed, set to specific lighting outputs, and adjusted to produce different color outputs (Fig. 24.4).
Simulated lighting is a complex topic in terms of rendering. The many options and almost infinite combinations of lighting found in the real world result in a higher learning curve when compared to other rendering methods and topics. To help you achieve a general understanding of how to create and use simulated light, this chapter reviews ...
