In this video, I will demonstrate the steps and techniques to create a low-key lighting setup in Maya and Arnold. Low-key lighting is a style of lighting that uses a high ratio of dark to light areas, creating a sense of depth, mood, and mystery. It is often used in genres such as film noir, horror, and thriller. Low-key lighting has a long history in art and photography, originating from the Renaissance period when artists like Leonardo da Vinci experimented with chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts of light and shadow to create realistic and dramatic effects. In this video, you will learn how to use Maya and Arnold’s tools and features to replicate this style and enhance your 3D scenes.
