4: Adjust Light Properties

• Access the properties or settings for the selected light source.

• Modify properties such as intensity, spread, temperature, and source radius/length. These settings control how the light interacts with the scene.

• Pay attention to the direction and angle of the light to achieve the desired illumination.

  • Spot lights
    • Adjust the Inner cone and outer cone angles. These help in widening or narrowing the effects of spotlights.
    • Increase the intensity as required.
    • Alter the spread of the light as necessary.
    • Change the temperature to match the scene’s mood.
    • Use the Source radius to smooth the light’s fall off.
    • You can also choose to enable or disable shadows as required.

  

  • Point Lights
    • Similar to spot lights and area lights, proceed to alter the intensity , spread, temperature and source radius.
    • Notice how source length alters the way the light affect the scene.

  

  • Area Lights
    • Rotate and position the light as required.
    • Change the source width and source height to control the size of the light. Note that a smaller size leads to sharper lighting.
    • Area light comes with additional constraints such as the Barn door. Alter the size and angle properties to constrain the fall of the light.
