Milestone Task

Relight House

In this exercise, you get to relight this house with adjustment layers inside Photoshop. I would recommend ONLY using "curve" adjustment layers, which is the primary color correcting tool for Matte Painters. Your directional light will need to come from the top left corner of the frame, angling downward. You will need to create raking directional light and shadow falling across the front of the building. Make sure you are balancing your light and shadow values.

Live Demonstration
Your Training Lead will provide you with a live demonstration of how to use all the tools and techniques to complete this exercise successfully.
Files
You can download the files from the project files library. Look for the "Files for Download" section on the library page.
Rounds
You will need to make a shot submission of your image sequence as a .mp4 file to the Review Room against the task you have been assigned. Make sure you comment on your submission once it has been made so your Lead knows you want it to be reviewed.
Dailies
Add a task submission to a Dailies Playlist. This Playlist will be used in live Dailies by your Lead to give you feedback on your work. Dailies are scheduled in the 3DDMP Career Advancement Community Group.
Approval
Once you make your submission in the Review Room or added to a Dailies playlist it will be reviewed by your Lead. If your Lead has feedback for you, you will need to make the required changes and resubmit your work. Your work will need to meet VFX industry standards so you may need to submit multiple times. Your Lead will let you know if your task is finaled in the comments of your submission (Rounds) or in live Dailies.
