Lighting Principles

Lesson 2 of 5 Styleframes

Now you will learn to light your scenes in a compelling way. To do this, it's important not just to understand the rules of lighting, but to know when and how to break those rules. In this Lesson, you will learn about the underlying moods caused by different lighting setups, as well as how to achieve them. And of course, you will practice lighting models for yourself in C4D.
