The Lighter Dark - Test's So Far

The testing process for my short film has begun so I've created various tests for how things may work.

The first I created was a lighting test, seeing as the character has spotlights in his hands as the main light source, this was important to get down, so through Maya and Arnold I was able to create a light beam that looked realistic and had the right drop-off and interaction with objects.

The light's weren't that hard to create after a few boxes were checked because we no longer have RenderMan, but after a while of trying to understand Arnold it's just as easy.
