Modelling In Maya- Environment Model: Environment Lighting

In this session I worked on adding a few more elements ton my environment including a matte painting and text to create a transition between the two scenes. Along with this I also experimented with different lighting until I found what I was aiming for. As the scene I'm animating is the lowest point within the short, I created a dark atmosphere that would reflect that. I also used the caustics lighting tutorial to create an underwater feel to my scene.
