flying at night. On a combat mission, no less, with some discernable
flak bursts, a far below height field for ground zero, etc. I've
got the modeling about done on the plane, and now it's time to get
serious...but I've never done a night scene, nor for that matter
am I that good at lighting.
Although I'm not very familiar with night lighting, I would like to
point out the way Hollywood does it.
Did you notice that, in movies, night scenes are not totally dark (hopefully
!), but rather lighted by BLUE light projectors ?
Furthermore, they are sometimes directed, not straight down to the
faces of the actors, but to a part of the scene that will then reflect
this light onto the faces, bodies, and so on... giving them "dark" colours,
if I may say so.
Thanks in advance.The same to you !
Happy tracing.
I am looking forward to seeing your scenes.
