Good idea. Thanks. The cold looks colder, the warm is warmer. The outside of your picture looks very cold and uninviting. but the way the picture is tilted my eye keeps getting drawn to the cold outside then back to the warm chair and then back, like there is a sort of color war going on, and it is very interesting. Yes bipolar is naturally very interesting.

Thanks! I’ll keep working on it, at least until the game engine freezes up from too many polygons. Also, I made a timelapse of putting the scene together in the game engine, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JByjRyqaQhE

In reply to David Giles. David, I'm amazed by the coziness of the town. The contrast of cool/warm really works here. Composition-wise, it's quite good too. If I had to add anything to this image, it would be the details. But overall, very nice impression!

Amazing tutorial! I tried making my own dramatic lighting scene after reading this, but the result wasn’t as good as I had hoped. The scene was inspired by the all the city lights reflecting in the water I saw on the overnight bus trips I used to go on.

The models are mostly from Blendswap and Sketchfab, but I made a few of them myself. The image was rendered in realtime using a game engine. Please tell me what you think!

Another amazing tutorial! I will say that I think this may have been one of my favorites. 🙂 It came at the perfect time too, considering that I am making a scene with great contrast for Andrew’s competition. I don’t have a preview render yet, and I’m not that far along, but I may share one sometime… :/
Great tutorial.

In reply to Felix Schütt. Haha, that's a good point! Personally, I think that blue-orange is WAY overused in the movie and gaming industry. We need to think outside the box (or outside of orange-blue gamut).

Just asking but do you use other composition than blue – orange? No critique, the picture is good but it’s a little bit repetitive.
And yes, you can measure color with a temperature, this is why we have a temperature node (also called “Blackbody”) in cycles xD

In reply to Gleb Alexandrov. oh... i see :) amazing examples, really. Now any time I forget what is dramatic, I will just go here and try to recreate the exact mood. I think, in time I will learn to create my own dramatic scene))) Thank you so much, Gleb!

In reply to Yulia Kalashnikova. From the standpoint of composition, dramatic lighting would mean the contrast (yeah, complimentary contrast as well :)) . But I believe that there is more to it, than just a colors. If we can create a contrasting emotions (or we can as well call it atmospheres), that's a big win. Attaching some examples, quite subjective.
