Making of Home & Fire
by Marco A. Delgado, Spain

Illumination and Render

To illuminate the scene I have used point lights and spotlight activated with the Area light. I have removed the light of the scene and the Ambient is black. I have placed one spot light behind the window to simulate the light of the Blue Moon. Other two spot lights for the lamp - one focused downwards and another one upwards. In order to simulate the light of the candles I have added 8 point lights, three for each candelabrum and two for the round candles.

Another orange - red coloured point light to illuminate the chimney and to simulate the fire.






To give a greater realism I have used the option of Global Illumination and Final Gathering. These are the settings...



I have also added a Pass of Ambient Occlusion to obtain more realism and contrast. Finally, using Photoshop CS2, and adjusted the colour, the brightness, the saturation and I have added some grain.
