Artificial Lighting

DOI: 10.1201/9781003144786-5

When we work on interior scenes, apart from the natural lighting, the artificial lighting also plays an important role in the composition and final result. It is used to create different scenarios of the same scene, from a daytime view to a nighttime shot. V-Ray includes a set of lights designed specifically for rendering with the V-Ray engine. We have seen so far the VRaySun and the Dome VRayLight. In this chapter, we explore the VRayIES lights and more options in the VRayLights. Moreover, we describe the use of the VRayLightMix to control the lighting of the scene.
