Lighting Before/After
Added 2024-05-09 19:22:53 +0000 UTCI did a second lighting pass on this scene and had expected a notable improvement, but I don't know, they both look kinda good. π
Top before, bottom after.


What do you think?

Heard! Leaning towards the 2nd for sure.

2024-05-10 17:24:49 +0000 UTCGood input! I usually follow the Dario Argento school of lighting ("the light comes from the same place as the music"), but good to keep some baseline realism in mind.

2024-05-09 23:55:47 +0000 UTCI like the 2nd one because the light color feels more realistic. Given the direction of the light, Harley should have that green reflection on her from ivy's skin. You really don't see it in the first one IMO

2024-05-09 19:25:51 +0000 UTCBoth look good indeed though the purple is a nice offset, especially with how it blends with the green. The light that's behind them seems to also be there but it doesn't clash with the other colors going on
