Render Settings: Indoor lighting

In the lighting design for the interior scene, I dedicated considerable time and effort to achieve a composition with depth and storytelling elements. Since the overall structure of the scene is symmetrical, I intentionally introduced asymmetry in the lighting setup to prevent the visuals from appearing too monotonous. This approach not only broke the uniformity of the space but also added visual appeal and dynamism to the composition.

Specifically, I focused on creating layers and directionality in the interplay of primary and secondary light sources. For instance, although the scene features a symmetrical layout, I used a stronger warm-toned light as the main source and complemented it with a softer cool-toned light as a fill, creating a striking color contrast. Additionally, I incorporated asymmetrical details in the scene, such as the fireplaces flanking the hallway and the desk on the left side of the hall, which I specially designed with scattered scrolls and books.

To further enhance the narrative, I added props near the table holding the treasure chest, such as a weathered sign, scattered candles, and other subtle elements. These props not only enriched the backstory of the scene but also invited the audience to explore its intricate details.

In certain key shots, I experimented with distinct lighting configurations to heighten the color depth and ambiance. For example, in the second shot, I introduced a rare cool-toned light source to break the dominance of the warm tones. This contrast with the surrounding warm lighting created a more vibrant and engaging visual effect, enhancing the dynamism of the scene.
