I started this project by selecting lighting reference imagery to understand the warmth of the sunset and how the light affects the surrounding objects. I also chose a backplate image for the sunset. Starting in Autodesk Maya, I used an image plane to set the background up for initial lighting. Using a skydome light first, I created the fill light for the scene. I altered the color temperature to create warmth and I adjusted the intensity to get the ideal amount of light. To create the projector light, I used a spotlight aiming from the lens of the projector to the wall with the draped fabric. I also made the computer screen emit light to provide extra ambient lighting. I rendered passes using render layers and I also added a volume to get light casting into the interior scene. After rendering each pass, I composited the EXR files in Nuke and added the sunset backplate into the scene to make it look realistic.
