Moody Library Study

Moody library environment lighting study focusing on atmosphere, storytelling and value hierarchy. I validated my lighting without textures applied first to review the value hierarchy, silhouette clarity, and focal emphasis.
All assets were modeled and textured by myself.

My lighting emphasis is placed on the book to create a feeling that the reader just left the room

after textures where applied I desaturated my render to reevaluate the scene's value and contrast to balance the texture values

here is a tri split showing the break down of the scene's lighting process.
