Lighting

I had a go with lighting the town like a sunny day.

While i did use coloured lighting it made it look silly. So I decided to stick with the white light.

This was simply with the light behind the main building. Although you can tell there is lighting it doesn't look like anything other than having lighting added.

With the next image I thought that I would change the direction of the light so you can see the casted shadows.

This one is much better. It actually has some shadows in there. But I am still not that satisfied. I am going to try using something other than the skylight.

Here I used the daylight system. This is more what i was after, far more crisper shadows that you would get on a sunny day.

At the moment I am happy with the final result. If i get time after the other tasks I will fiddle with the angle of the light more and maybe add a sun.

 

Final

 

This is my final render for the lighting system. I think it would look more like a sunny day if I added an image to the background, but in terms of shadows and intensity of light, I am happy with how it came out.
