mt003 - How to create a realistic Light Lamp in Maya?

In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of creating believable Lamplight using Maya. To give lamp realistic effect we just can't put a single point light in the middle but we have to use multiple lights with different settings to produce the result we are looking for.


As you can see in image below we have used one directional Light for fill light and five points light for flames. Point lights provide illumination to the flames while one directional light fills the dark area of the scene.
