Overview

For a more detailed walkthrough on using the setup, please check out this guide here:

What is included?

The light rig has been designed to work with characters. Primarily bipeds, however, you can modify the setup to be suitable for quadrupeds, dragons and monsters. Provided with the setup is a series of physically based lights (modelled to real-world scale where 1 Maya unit = 1cm) mapped with HDRIs. Please note that the environment used in many of the renders below are not included in the download but can be purchased seperately here.

A turntable, colour chart, grey card, grey and chrome sphere have also been provided. You can switch between a large and small reference kit, so you can use the relevant-sized reference when framing your asset.

The lighting/frame sequence for the setup is as follows:

  • Frame 1001: Colour checker chart
  • Frame 1002: Grey card
  • Frame 1003: Grey ball
  • Frame 1004: Chrome ball
  • Frame 1005 – 1017: Asset 360
  • Frame 1018 – 1029: Camera 360**
  • Frame 1030 – 1042: Light Rig 360**

**Please note on some of the renders, the camera 360 and Light Rig 360 frames are reversed (as I was testing something out)

With the setup, you will find 2 light rigs. lightRig001 is more even whereas lightRig002 has a bit more contrast.

Please note that this setup is just the light rig itself, and does not come with the environment asset. You can grab the environment asset here, which has been specifically created to go with this light rig:

Alternatively, you can also drop the light rig into the following environment (or any of your own creation):

Example Renders

Here are some examples using the character light rig when used in conjunction with the Maya Studio Look Development and Lighting Environment 1003 (of which you can purchase seperately).

Plus, if you are looking for amazing statue assets, make sure you check out MyMiniFactory Scan the World, which is where I grabbed the beautiful Venus de Milo scan from.
