entry: jeff i have a cool idea for a tutorial or your next blog post. maybe make it a challenge on viz depot.

in the style of the great arch viz masters themselves, UNIFORM, create an exterior/interior that extends beyond standrard lighting techniques. Bring a bit of hollywood into it - dramatic lighting and so on, a lot of the work we see today is general night and day shots, which is perfect, but i would love to know and hear other peoples ideas and techniques for adding drama and narrative to shots, making the lighting interesting etc.

what are your thoughts on this???

entry: daveb867 - Sounds fun. I have some reference photos of some very cool lighting setups in night clubs that I've always wanted to try and recreate. Perhaps that would make for a nice challenge at the vizdepot. I'll offer it as an idea to the other mods there and see what they think.

SHOCKproof - Thank you for the kind words. Best wishes to you too my friend.

entry: Great update Jeff. Can you use portals for interior lights rather than using a photometric one?

I wish I could afford to have you come up for a day of training :(

entry: siliconbauhaus - Yes, you can use the sky portal lights as interior light sources just like photometric area lights. Just keep in mind that you can't use IES profiles with it or change it to a spotlight, etc., like you can a photometric light source.
