Hello,
I am creating a short, and being new to Maya I wanted to know the general process for lighting. I am referencing my animated shots from a master file into separate Maya files, and I was wondering how I would make the lights. Should I be making lights in my master file and tweaking them in the child files? Or do I have to make new lights for each file?(<-- and if so how would I copy the attributes from the previous file to the new file to keep lighting consistent...?) Oh, and I am planning on animating the color of the lights to indicate changes in mood across different scenes.
Any help on this is very much appreciated!
