Light. Camera. Almost ready

After weeks of intense work, I had my first ever big Maya project almost ready. Two important elements I needed to work on before final rendering were lights and camera animation.  

I already had the Arnold Skydome Light in my scene but wanted to change its colour and adjust intensity. I also added extra Arnold Area Lights to emphasize some of the models. I made the dome light pale pink to match the mood of the scene, however left the other lights white. 

Then, I created a new camera and renamed it (“Render Camera Ready”). I started to animate it and repeated the process several times, until I was fairly pleased with the effect. It was a time-consuming and not so easy process leading to interesting results. As this work was completed, I was one step closer to have the project finished.
