1 Choose your lighting style

Depending on the genre, tone, and theme of your film, you may want to use different lighting styles to convey your artistic vision. For example, you can use high-contrast lighting to create drama and suspense, soft lighting to create a cozy and warm atmosphere, or colorful lighting to create a fantasy or sci-fi vibe. You can also use different types of lights, such as directional, point, spot, or ambient, to create different effects and shapes. To choose your lighting style, you need to consider your story, your characters, your environment, and your audience.

Die Frage des "Look and Feel" ist essenziell. Es gibt die künstlerische Seite wie z.B. Lichtquellen, Komposition, W?rme der 3D Szene. Aber auch technische Wahlm?glichkeiten der Render-Engine um den gewünschten Look (Photoreal, Cartoon) oder Beleuchtung zu erzeugen. Inspiration kann man wunderbar in der traditionellen Malerei und Künste finden. Je nachdem was man darstellen m?chte ist die Beleuchtung oft der Schlüssel für eine gelungene Komposition.

2 Set up your lighting rig

A lighting rig is a system of lights and modifiers that you use to light your scene. You can use software tools to create and adjust your lighting rig, such as Blender, Maya, Cinema 4D, or After Effects. You can also use plugins or presets to simplify the process and achieve realistic results. Some of the factors that you need to consider when setting up your lighting rig are the number, position, intensity, color, and angle of your lights, as well as the shadows, reflections, and occlusions that they produce.

When i learned something the hard way over the years, it is "Less is more". Always try to keep it as simple as possible. Try to learn from Productphotography how they light their shots.

3 Apply shading techniques

Shading is the process of adding colors, textures, gradients, and effects to your objects and surfaces to make them look more realistic and appealing. You can use software tools to apply shading techniques, such as materials, shaders, maps, masks, or filters. Some of the common shading techniques are diffuse, specular, normal, bump, displacement, ambient occlusion, or subsurface scattering. You need to choose the appropriate shading technique for each object and surface, depending on their shape, material, and function.

4 Use layers and compositing

Layers and compositing are methods of combining multiple elements or images into a single scene. You can use software tools to create and manipulate layers and compositing, such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Animate, or Nuke. You can also use blending modes, opacity, masks, or adjustment layers to control how the layers interact with each other. Layers and compositing can help you enhance the lighting and shading of your scene by adding depth, contrast, color correction, or special effects.

5 Test and refine your lighting and shading

The final step of lighting and shading your animated scene is to test and refine your results. You can use software tools to render your scene and preview how it looks in different formats, resolutions, or devices. You can also use feedback, critiques, or references to evaluate your lighting and shading and identify any issues or areas for improvement. You may need to tweak your lighting rig, shading techniques, layers, or compositing until you achieve the desired outcome.

6 Learn from the pros

One of the best ways to improve your lighting and shading skills is to learn from the pros. You can watch tutorials, courses, or webinars from experts in the field, such as Pixar, Disney, DreamWorks, or ILM. You can also study the lighting and shading of your favorite animated films and analyze how they create different moods, styles, and effects. You can also join online communities, forums, or blogs where you can share your work, ask questions, and get tips and feedback from other animators.
