This project is an exploration of lighting an outdoor scene. The intended time of day is early morning before the carnival is open. All shaded models were provided to me. I am only responsible for layout, camera placement, and lighting.
The basic light setup for this scene is primarily a sky dome with an aiPhysicalSky node attached. Secondary spotlights and area lights are used to add further light and emphasis onto the carousel. Atmospheric fog and slight depth of field are also added for this scene.
