There is a difference in the outcome of a render when considering the numerous variables within CG lighting. Subtle or drastic changes to lighting can influence the overall style of the final render -

Inside the CG studio, our designers often experiment with contrasting render styles to see what parts of the design can be enhanced - . This experimentation is a working-tutorial for our designers and serves as a continuous investigation for them to see how a final render can change dramatically as a result of subtle or drastic lighting adjustments.

Some important questions to always keep in mind are; , , and lastly,

The render was useful to represent how the blends into the evening lights of Shenzhen, China's cityscape. This render style illustrates the graceful expression of the architectural design with its subtle lighting approach.

So, contrasting to the peaceful nature of the top image - the image darkens the ambiance and really emphasizes the dramatic cuts in both of the facades. These adjustments to the lighting environment noticeably change the overall mood of the render - . In addition, this lighting effect in the architecture is balanced by the streaming traffic lights below to provide a visual base in this pitch-black night render; cohesively the dissecting elements of light connect into the dark.

There are moments when it is necessary to create realistic lighting environments, and there are moments when it is necessary to bring the and make the lighting a little more cinematic. CG artistry is all about the visual feel and emotional impact; and our designers at understand that proper lighting truly makes all the in our renders.
