Genlock Character Lighting
Genlock Character Lighting Snippet. (This is after I pass it to comp and editorial)
All the passes put together, with color. (Those dots are just artifacts when converting into a gif with dithering. The colors may not be 100% accurate. But you get the Idea!
Line Pass for the anime/ pencil look.
Zone 1 and 2 lighting pass. Or as I like to think of them as the primary light source. In this case they're inside so it is more of an ambient lighting setup. Zone 1 Is the shadows/ unlit (Black). Zone 2 is the lighting (white).
Zone 3s are what I like to think of as the secondary light source. In this case, I had the source come from the monitors behind them.
A quick snippet and breakdown of some of the character lighting I did for Genlock at Rooster Teeth. Above are some of the render layers used to create the final shot as well as a small description. The lighting process is similar to RWBY but with more added realism. Below are some of the other shots I worked on.
