hey,guys. I got trouble doing my reel now. I have couple character rotations in reel.
I tried use 3 points lighting ,but when character turned around, some view looks too dark,some view looks too bright.
I also tried skylight. 180 frames taks almost 9 hours to render out. It kills my machine.
I want to know other people do character rotation in reel, usually use what kind of lighting.
I just need very basic lighting, so people can see my character very clear turn around in reel.

thanks guys.

I think using just 3 points lighting would do the trick for you. If you dont move the camera so you wont see dark surfaces cuz you setup your lights based on the camera position.
And you could always add extra fill lights if you fill there is some darkness in some area. But keep the basic lighting as it is.
