Here’s my first attempt at the character lighting. The model is “Warrior Toy” by 3dhdscan. It can be downloaded (Insert link function goes off the page) on Sketchfab. Right now, I am rather dissatisfied, especially by the rim light. I don’t know where to place it. My goal is to give it dramatic, exotic lighting. Even though it is called “Warrior Toy”, I would like to treat it as a real man when I light and render it.
I know it’s too dark, but whever I increase the intensity of the key light it looks washed out.
