Lighting

For the lighting I decided that I wanted to use a skylight because it gives a very good lighting effect for cartoons and it also gives the characters very even and soft shadows. The sky light looked very effective until I rendered the tree in the scene with under the lights. For some season the tree showed no colour or texture under the lights and I tried everything to fix it. Eventually, after playing about with many lights, I pointed a target direct light at the tree which seemed to help show some colour in the tree. By using a skylight it made the rendered very difficult to do considering it made the renders go very slow. I solved this problem by using a setting called light tracer which apparently renders the scene in a less visually impressive format. In my opinion I think that the light tracer makes my cartoon and the characters look more effective because the elephant looks like playdoh.
