Dark Areas Should Occupy Sixty Percent

A retro dark scene with large areas left dark. At least sixty percent of the area is dark brown to near-black, with only the outlines of forms visible: the ceiling, the upper part of the room, distant corners, and most of the walls. Bright areas are concentrated in two or three spots: the light pool of a lamp, around a candlestick, and a small piece of textile and gilding illuminated by light. Avoid: using fill light to illuminate all corners, letting the proportion of dark areas fall below half, lighting up the ceiling, using uniform ambient lighting.

一個大面積留暗的復古暗黑畫面。至少六成的區域是深褐到近黑的,只看得到形體的輪廓:天花、房間的上半部、遠處的角落與大部分的牆面。亮的部分集中在兩三處:一盞燈的光池、燭台周圍、以及被光照到的一小塊織品與鍍金。避免:用補光照亮所有角落、讓暗部的比例低於一半、把天花照亮、使用均勻的環境照明。
