Lighting Workshop #1

 

Beauty Render - The story is that the dragon is facing a fire and the moon is shining from behind.

Edited shot using AO and Curvature Render passes. I used 2 AO renders (.5 @ 25% opacity and .75 @ 20% opacity - multiply blend mode). I set the curvature render to Linear Add for the highlights of the curves of the statue.

Four RGB renders of the Key, Back, and Fill lights.
