Take that knowledge and move through this chapter to learn how to light your models and scenes. The previous chapter introduced you to LightWave 10's surfacing capabilities, including the Node Editor. The look of a texture can change significantly based on the lighting associated with it. However, don't worry LightWave makes it easy to apply complex surfaces and get instant feedback. This is probably one of the areas animators struggle with the most, and an area that can often make or break your project. OK, maybe it's not evil, but it can be challenging, and understanding texturing and how it's affected by lighting is one of your main goals as a 3D artist. But you need to be aware of some basic real-world principles before you can put it all together. Basic lighting can make your renders hot or cold in other words, the color of the light you choose, where the lights are placed, and other aspects of lighting play a role in the final image. Lighting is vital in film, photography, and of course, 3D animation. It can convey a mood, a feeling, or even a reaction. Lighting can completely change the look of a shot. Lighting can be used for so much more than simply brightening a scene. But lighting is crucial to your success as an animator, and fortunately it's not that hard to set up once you learn a few basic rules. And like many, you might consider lighting to be one of the less important aspects of your 3D animations, or simply an area that's outside your comfort zone.
As a 3D animator, unless you're working in a big animation studio, you do your own lighting. You're a draftsman, a 3D modeler, a producer, a painter, and even a gaffer-the person on a film set who takes care of the lighting. Working in 3D animation requires you to wear many hats.
