Add Lights

We haven't added any light to the scene so far. However, the render still looks good.

The shadow is kind of smooth because we used GI as the only light source. So we still need to add more lights in order to have more depth to the image.

1. Right click and hold on the Spot Light icon from toolbar above . A secondary toolbar will pop out, select the fourth one from the left (Create Rectangular Light ).

Add Lights - Step 1

2. From Top view, follow the steps below to create Rectangular Light in the scene.

Add Lights - Step 2

3. Start from bottom left and make your second left click to the bottom right of the scene.

Add Lights - Step 3

4. To complete creating the light, make your third left click on the top left of the scene, approximately the same distance as between first and second spots.

Add Lights - Step 4

5. Select this Rectangular light you just created.

Add Lights - Step 5

6. Go to the Front view. Left click and hold right on top of the light and drag it to the top, approximately 5X of the height of the cup.

Add Lights - Step 6

7. Render it and you will get a very bright image like the one below. That's because the V-Ray's default setting of the Rectangular Light is set to No Decay. Please follow the steps below to adjust it.

Add Lights - Sample Render

8. Select the Rectangular Light. Under the Properties, click on Object and select Light.

Rectangular Light Properties

9. Uncheck the No Decay. This will make the distance between the light and objects being considered while rendering. That means the object further away from the light will get less light and become darker. To make the object brighter, you can either increase the intensity of the light or move the light closer to the object.

Rectangular Light Properties

10. When uncheck the No Decay, the default setting of the intensity is set to 1. Please change the Multiplier from 1 to 4.

Rectangular Light Properties

11. Hit Render again and you will get a much better result like this one below.

Rectangular Light - Render Sample

Here are some images with different intensities.
