The Light - 3D Contest [18 entries]

Winning entry, with a score of:

66.8%

Contest goal:

One of the most important features of any 3D image is the lighting. Your goal in this contest is to create the most realistically lit scene possible. Use all your knowledge to light any object or scene, make it glow in the midday sun, or cover it in volumetric light. 3DS max, Maya, Bryce, C4D, Solidworks users note that Vray sun and the daylight system are NOT ALLOWED, it's too easy.
Try and use other types of light to create the lighting you want. Pre built meshes are allowed for this contest, as it's the lighting that's the key. SBS is mandatory. You must show us how you lit the scene, with what type of light and show your settings too. Good luck!

PS: Make sure to read the updated guidelines of the 3D contests.

Status: finished. Check out the winners below!

nudanke: Since 3dsMax users are not allowed to use the sun/daylight system, are Maya users not allowed to use physical sun and sky. I don't do much with 3ds Max so I'm not familiar with its daylight system but in Maya it still takes some work in my opinion to make the physical sun and sky look good/real.
