Here is a video capsule of a lighting I project worked on over the last couple of years.
I originally set out to light the models so that I could capture "box art" photographs of each ship but after experimenting with the different circuit designs the scope and purpose expanded quite a bit. I decided to see how far I could push some of the lighting ideas and how many features I could fit into the models. I was pretty happy with the results although I do think some of it may seem a bit over the top. At the end of the day I have a cool little "twiddle box" that lets me tweak the look anyway I like.
During the project I learned a lot and gathered a fair amount of visual information. I thought I would share some of the process with you guys in hopes that it may give you a few ideas for your own lighted model projects.
I would be happy to answer any questions about the project and comments are welcome. What do you think?
Regards,
Matt
