Lighting test In Maya (no MR)

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

The only thing i changed was either the ground color or my background color... I didn't need to change the color of my lights,

Looks good, but the shadow on the ground look a bit hard. Try softening just a little little bit.

I like the first one.

I think it is because the plane. In my point of view the lighter the plane better the resoults are.

You said you just used one light right. Have you tried to use a backlight for example?

I used a sphere of lights, similar to GI Joe, with 32 dirrectional lights, I have the color of the lights linked, so that if U change the ground plane color, it changes the colors of the "ground" lights, and the same for the background color. So as far as a back light go, Do you think I would need one in addition to the dome of lights? Thanks,
Brian
Thanks for your opinion,
