Cinematic Lighting in Maya: Interior & Character Lighting

Interiors and characters under one light plan

The title pairs two subjects that behave differently under light: enclosed interiors and figures. This Skillshare-offered course is taught by Abraham Leal of Nexttut, whose listing says he has more than 11 years of experience, and the listed skills show a focus on storytelling through lighting choices.

Likely focus

• Lighting interior spaces in Maya

• Post-production and Photoshop finishing

Fit

It is labeled intermediate, so it presumes some Maya rendering knowledge. The description is short, so read the syllabus to confirm which render engine it uses and whether project files are supplied.
