In order of importance:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3 layers;<\/li>\n<li>Central Perspective;<\/li>\n<li>Diagonal line.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>3 Layers<\/strong><br \/>\nYamit has built 3 well distinct layers. We can define three areas: 1) The \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Esedra Frau\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in foreground, 2) chairs and table are the focal point, 3) the library on the background. Thanks to this well thought hierarchy, the observer instantly catches the image structure.

It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a strong composition tool and therefore also widely used as it allows to use the perspective lines (converging in focal point) to give strenght at image structure. In these cases, we recommend always using medium focal length (24-70mm). In this scene is 36mm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diagonal line<\/strong><br \/>\nA strong element that diagonally crosses the frame, broking the rigid structure of parallel lines, always creates dynamism in the image. In this case the diagonal line is formed by the stairs in background. Think about it: every time we have stairs in, the shots are much more interesting. Because, even without knowing it, we use it instinctively as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Diagonal\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">STEP2 &#8211; Light Balance<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cg-blog.com\/index.php\/2012\/10\/09\/the-living-full-training.htm\" target=\"_blank\">REFERENCE MODEL: &#8220;THE LIVING&#8221;<\/a> (complete training)<\/p>\n<p>Windows are large enough compared to the environment to be lit, this means that there will be a good amount of light and we don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t need any additional light to complete lighting set up: standard (V-Ray Sun) and its SkyMap (VRay Sky) are enough.<\/p>\n<p>If we want to render this scene with the curtains, then we must use <strong>for strength<\/strong> of <strong>V-Ray Light type portal (simple)<\/strong>, as shown in <a href=\"hhttps:\/\/www.cg-blog.com\/index.php\/2012\/09\/04\/living-light-balance.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Lesson#28<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cg-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/IMG3-aroya.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"IMG3-aroya-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cg-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/IMG3-aroya-icon.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here the main features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Exposure<\/strong>: V-Ray Physical Camera: shutter speed = 50 \/ white balance = Neutral<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lights<\/strong>: V-Ray Sun + Sky (default)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Draft Render Settings<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cg-blog.com\/index.php\/v-ray-for-beginners\/lesson-2\" target=\"_blank\">Check Lesson#2<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The other lights that are seen not have any impact on general lighting, in fact, are more to be considered as a bright detail.<\/p>\n<p>V-Ray Portals to the openings are not necessary, as the direct light enters through a few meters inland, so their impact would have be irrelevant.
