Description: The ‘Lighting Setup’ in the context of 3D design refers to the strategic arrangement of light sources within a three-dimensional scene to achieve a desired visual effect. This technique is fundamental in graphic design and animation, as lighting can drastically influence the perception of space, atmosphere, and realism of a scene. By manipulating the intensity, color, and direction of lights, artists can create shadows, highlight details, and set the mood of the composition. The lighting setup is not limited to the amount of light but also includes the quality of light, which can be hard or soft, and its distribution in space. In a 3D environment, different types of lights, such as point lights, directional lights, and ambient lights, are used to simulate how light interacts with objects and materials in the scene. This technique is essential for achieving a visually appealing and coherent result, allowing designers to tell stories and convey emotions through their creations.
