I have an assignement for my class where i have to light the same scene three times...
- Morning
- Night
- Mood set up (get an idea of a mood in the scene)
I decided to model a chatedral and try and light it.. but little did i know that this is gonna be a difficult thing for someone that just started to use maya 4 weeks ago.. haha..
The modeling is soposed to be kept simple, the proffesor doesn't care about the modeling part yet, they haven't tought us much yet.. but he wants us to work on light setup..
I guess i'm looking for suggestions on where to place my lights, what colors, and how many...

this are the lights that i placed in my scene.. the main light source is missing, thats gonna be the sun, coming in through the big round window at the front.. thast gonna be that colored glass that they have in chirches...

This is what my scene looks right now... with two big sport lights coming throught the windows at eather side.. then a area light to simulate the light reflection (radiosity) and two pint lights to light up the little passage ways behing the columns..
The way i see it now, it doesn't look right... But i can't put my finger on what i did wrong.. Maybe just using one light for all the windows isn't the right thing to do.. should i have a separate light on each window?? what kind of light should i use there??
should i maybe keep the main light, and then give each window a point light???
