Week 02 - Basic Lighting & Materials

The assignment this week was to take a base, unlit scene and combine it with a reference to design the lighting and allocate a mood for the scene. I decided to take a dark sea angle, designing the floating houses as if they are standing sentry in a never ending, overcast night. 

This was a unique challenge that allowed me to play a lot more with the environmental lighting tools, which I didnt realize how may existed. It was interesting to play with small environmental factors to really sell the time of day I was looking for; such as removing the block floor underneath the water for darker water, or slightly tinting the lanterns warmly to contrast against the cold of the moon.
