The goal for lighting was to achieve a bright atmosphere while creating a dramatic interplay between light and shadows. To accomplish this, I used an HDRI image for ambient lighting, providing a natural, soft light that fills the space. For accent lighting, I utilized sunlight, strategically placing it to highlight key architectural features and enhance the overall mood.
I carefully adjusted the settings for both the HDRI and sunlight to achieve the best possible balance and aesthetics, ensuring that the light felt both natural and intentional. For the final touch, I duplicated the sun, increased its size, and decreased its intensity. This technique enriched the shadows, making them softer and more nuanced, which added depth and a sense of realism to the scene
