Step 6: Adjust shadows
As you may have noticed, the shadows in the previous step are quite heavy and dominant. We cannot add another light that introduces new shadows. This would destroy the whole setup of this rendering. However, we can add another light somewhat in the same plane as our key light to reduce the length of the key light shadow.
Another reason for adding a light is to keep the shadow underneath the objects darker than the rest of the shadows. If you look carefully at various objects in your room, you will notice that shadows become darker near the objects.
In the images below, you can see that the shadow in the image on the right makes the cube appear to be standing on the surface.
In the next rendering I moved the additional key light to create the highlight on the yellow plug and to change the shape of the shadow to a more natural one.
这里面所谓的 add another light somewhat in the same plane as our key light to reduce the length of the key light shadow 如何操作啊???? 这里所谓的同一平面指的是什么呢????加的spotlight 比原来的key light 照射范围上是不是要加大,角度是不是要加大??? 能详细讲一下吗????
