As easy as Lighting sounds, it's actually quite difficult while working with it in 3d modeling. Lighting with other digital arts are way more easier, like working with lighting with video and photography is quite simple you change the settings on your camera or use natural lighting. But with 3d modeling you have to adjust settings like intensity, decay, attenuation. Those settings i'm not quite familiar with. Things like color, temperature and contrast are things i'm familiar with because they're quite universal in the digital arts world.
Also having to be familiar with all the lights to create a certain effect. If you want a shadow of a lamp but also want a light coming out of the lamp. You have to know how to use Omni, which lights up all directions and then a Target Spot which lights up in a cone shaped direction. You want to use the Omni to create the shadow of the lamp and then Target to create the "lamp light". See its quite different from lighting with a camera and video. You actually have to create the light yourself and adjust the settings until it meets the requirements for which you want. I've did some research on why lighting is so important in 3d modeling, here's what i discovered. That choosing the correct/perfect lighting technique can enhance a modeling project. Also lighting in a video games, they're mostly interactive and lighting can effect the characters actions. A example would be a character shooting could shoot out a light in the game and it would change the rest of the game is played. In Conclusion;
