Texture/Shader & Lighting question

Yeah, generally our lookdev folks initially test in a scene with neutral lighting.

Most studios, especially the big ones, have a lighting rig set up for this purpose. Of course, every studio has a slightly different rig, but in general it tries to give pretty even lighting over a surface with just enough directionality to both show off a specular highlight and show off your bump/displacement maps.

So there could be 2 or more set of lighting rigs like 1 of day time and another for night time for testing out textures and shades? Could a 3 point light be use for these testing?

Yes and yes.

If you're using Maxwell or Fry then you can use the included material testingscene to test your materials and textures on. It's very effective and does a good job. Here below is my latest materialexample produced using Maxwell Render. :)
