Light is a crucial part of any 3D render. Viewers respond to light in a deeply emotional way ; whether it’s the warm light of a sunset or the stark glare of the sun at high noon, the lighting choices you make in your renders impact the impressions you create with your audience.
In some renders, light is a background player–a component of your scene, but one that takes a supporting role. In other renders, though, light is the star of the show.
If you want to experiment with making creative, colorful light a central component of your next render, check out our new neon courtyard 3D scene for Autodesk VRED.
Our latest scene is part of our ongoing collaboration with Autodesk to create free VRED 3D scenes that anyone can download and use for their next automotive render or product rendering.
Many of our scenes feature naturalistic lighting. Our coastal road scene features light from the mid-day sun, while our racetrack 3D scene was shot during “golden hour,” giving it a warm and inviting glow.
Our neon courtyard scene, though, is something else entirely. Lit by the colorful glow of neon, our modern courtyard (captured from a real-world scene) is awash with dramatic and unique reflections and lighting elements.
Placing a vehicle digital twin into this scene, for example, results in colorful and detailed reflections that showcase every curve and chrome surface. The glow of neon suggests the excitement of a city at night, making this the perfect 3D scene for renders showcasing exciting, trendy new vehicles and products.
Ready to make light the star of your show? Our neon courtyard 3D scene is entirely free. You can download it here , load it into VRED, and use it in your next creative project. Make sure to join our newsletter so we can keep you updated on all our 3D scenes.
