Lighting experiments

Last render
Ive been experimenting with lighting the final room last week. I changed the directional to a spot light for the light cast on the floor. I didnt have the as much control with the directional to soften the ray-tracing. Theres also some colour been added with spot lights positioned to also create the darker edges. Blue spot lights have to be added to create the colour of the sky on the carpet but i am moving on for the moment to finish lighting the rest of the hospital. The glow on the floor and the flare of the light through the windows will have to be done in post. Below are some renders building up to the one above.

I also have broken glass modeled in the windows that i plan to experiment plugging a transparent dirt map into.

Same lights for floor and walls
Separate lights for floor
Orange colour added to spot lights

    This is looking really good - it's nice to see it all coming together now!

    Some points which might help out;

    The trees in the windows look quite short - it makes this room look like it is higher up in the sky. This may be deliberate, but I was expecting it to be ground level.

    The edges around the windows look *too* perfect - perhaps adding some noise to the geometry and moving the points around a little? The walls are the same - they look very flat and new (although this may be because it's not HD, I can't pick out subtle changes in the surfaces).

    The lighting on the floor from the window - at the moment it comes from a spot light? I would suggest a directional light would be more realistic - there would be less spread of light...

    As for the ray-tracing from a directional light, you should be able to soften it in Maya, or alternatively soften it in post (adding a gentle blur to the shadow pass?).

    Anyway, thought these might help you out... keep up the good work!
