Mission accomplished

This project followed the old Hollywood saying "lights, camera, action." We deployed the most complex lighting in spot and point lights. Point lights are similar to lightbulbs; they shine in all directions, whereas spotlights have a direction with a beam-width radius of high intensity and a wider cut-off angle radius where the light fades out. Other lighting parameters include attenuation, where the light fades out over distance.

Night scenes deploy a black fog, also known as depth cueing, where objects that are more distant appear darker and thus give users a visual cue of depth. Dark scenes have intriguing designs because they focus our attention on key scene objects in the foreground. Fog is useful too because distant objects ...
