How to Setup Lighting

Lighting

One of the ways you can drastically improve the look of your production is to alter the lighting - there have been numerous textbooks and tutorials made on effective cinematic lighting, but we will provide a few simple tips here that will hopefully make your videos come to life!

Default Lighting

By default Muvizu uses the environmental lighting, which functions well for allowing the user to navigate round the scene, but leaves your characters and environments looking a little flat

Directional Lighting

By using a single directional light (and reducing the environmental lighting to 0%) you can see the dramatic difference in the way the characters look

Custom Shadows

You can further improve your scene by editing the shadow settings in the Environmental settings

Toon Shaders

If you want your characters to look more "Cartoony" like the TV show Archer etc. simply enable the Toon Shader in shader settings. (This requires the lighting in the scene to be re-built, so can take a while)
