imo, great lighting takes any scene to the next level. i typically customize existing scenes and many times that includes swapping out the environment to something different that relates to the scene i'm making. inevitably, doing this messes up the lighting from the original scene.

any tips or suggestions on how to create great lighting in scenes? any plugins out there that are plug and play/easy to use to set the lighting? thx.

3 point method is a classic:

In addition, after you did setup lights and sky in your scene, I would (obviously) recommend using my SkyMagic plugin to create a custom GI setup instead of relying on reflections from the build-in skies that may have nothing to do with your scene. Somewhat convoluted process because you have take a cube-screenshot in VaM, import into Unity and re-export back into VaM. But worth the effort, in my opinion. SkyMagic is part of the Essentials suite:
