3D Lighting and Rendering

This course will explore how light behaves and how we can try to recreate it in a 3D environment. Further to this, we will be exploring how to output images that look realistic.To accurately portray a realistic scene, three main themes are explored; lighting; rendering and materials. These three topics are integral to each other and will need to be explored together in order to fully realize a realistic rendering. The projects in this course are driven by this concept and are meant to show how each plays off the other; combining to give a realistic portrayal of mood, atmosphere and time of day.
