Building simple light objects

When you're dealing with simple diffused objects without a lot of reflectivity,…basic polygonal lights can be sufficient for creating a good in-depth scene.…You can simply place your polygons, apply some luminous intensity.…And then have good control over your luminous color that will control the…overall temperature or coloration of your lighting in the scene.…However, when you start to add in some reflectivity, which I'll do here.…I'm going to go to the video to bring texture here that's on the can, and I've…added just a simple material on top. I'm going to go to the material trans here.…

I'm going to turn on Match Specular, and now you can see that I have some…reflections showing. This is when basic polygonal lighting can…leave a bit to be desired. If you'd like to follow along with this,…open up the Light Objects Start file. And there are a couple of important things…to notice about this file before I continue.…And the first thing is that it's been scaled down to a more exact size.…Previously, the can had been relatively large.…
