Chapter 5 "Lighting Creatures, Characters, and Animation" explains how to light animated creatures and characters. From basics like three-point lighting, visual checks in character lighting, to key, fill, bounce, rim, kicker, and specular lights, this chapter explains how to set-up all the lights around a character, with special attention to characters eyes and subsurface scattering for skin shading.
