Colour lighting in maya


When the lighting and shadows were at a satisfactory stage, i started playing around with the colours of the lights. What's interesting is that colour can pretty much determine a mood of a scene. So for instance, blue lighting could represent cold and mellow where as a colour like orange could be warm and uplifting.

The process of changing the colours of the lights was easy but what was difficult was getting the right tone of colour and effect from the lights that were already placed in the scene.

Out of all the colour experimentation, blue seems to fit in really well. It just seems more natural looking colour in an office environment where as the other colours look a bit more extravagant. But maybe we need something extravagant since we are not going for a realistic look but more of a stylised feel and image.
