Imperial Destroyer Lighting Pass

Overview

Build a miniature starship lighting setup that feels cinematic at scale using practical light rather than CG geometry.

What I tested

  • Tested rim-light, key-light, and silhouette passes for shape readability.
  • Logged angle and intensity changes to keep lighting repeatable for future shots.
  • Finished one composite frame with a starfield background for final mood validation.

Next

Camera movement tests and engine-glow passes.
