Three Point Lighting Tutorial for 3d Animators
Three point lighting can transform your remders! Suddenly flat dull pictures take on a 3d quality of their own. The basic principle is this, shine a keylight onto the subject and a fill light to the side, plus a backlight to the side and rear. Now the magic happends when the three lights overlap on the subject.
However I take things much further in this tutorial. How about using three point lighting on individual objects to make them stand out in a scene. If you make the lighting so tight that It doesnt spill over onto the ground below or other objects you have massive control over your subject.
