I redid this one but with an extra spotlight because I felt like it was lacking.

When lighting indoor scenes, do people usually just toss lights anywhere that makes the render look better? I was originally trying to stick to physics-based lighting by only having the candles, windows, and similar act as light sources but imo it looks better with the extra light

While it's true that 'over-illuminating' does create better detail, you don't want to overdo it and destroy the realism of the scene.
Having said that, to start with, you can try turning the temperature of the light(s) down to somewhere between 3200 and 4200 degrees. this will give the light a more 'ruddy' glow, more akin to candle light. The default is 6500 - SUPER white.

I like your models and setting. The setting I have it too. These dresses are interesting too. Did you use their original fabric or added shader preset?

It's a _very_ weird position to read books... but somehow I'm ok with it

I think this pose not for reading but for teasing.

Then i've been tricked, i've been backstabbed and i've been, quite possibly, bamboozled!

I almost always change lighting, it's why I don't have time to develop my own game - it would take me forever for each scene

Scene from game I was considering. Pulled the camera back a little to show more. The upper windows were not meant to be seen so that's why I didn't do anything with them and tehy look weird

when there are characters present, I sometimes use closeup fill light sources for illuminate and "crisp" the image

Red Xs are where light sources were added. Can't be seen in this pic, but every ceiling light and wall sconce has an added light source for consistent realistic light paths.


in this scene I added lights to the poorly lit candles and fireplace


Result. used different light setting due to "magic" blue flames as opposed to warmer standard flames


Left blue flames from prop but changed Ghost light temp to more of a regular flame


No change from last one except changed render exposure value from 13 to 15

You can soften or brighten a scene just with the exposure value.


I'm not an expert but I do like playing with lighting.

I once had a photography professor who said "Light makes a picture, shadows define a picture" and that has kind of stuck with me

I once used the headlamp ever so slightly because I actually wanted to create the illusion of someone using a cameraphone to snap a pic of someone in the dark. If you lower the amount it can actually work.

That's too easy. I'd probably set up at least one spotlight and a fill light and do 15 test renders with different settings to get the exact same thing



I forgot to put this in my earlier post but my recent Slime Girl


has a light inside her to help show her shape


kind of blah and opaque without it

Ignore the stockings, I just loaded them on quickly

Check out the cum splatter on the chin and chest.

Which is most convincing!? I feel the chin looks more realistic. Some of the gravity seems off with the body cum droplets.
