Abstract
Animé, a style of Japanese animation, has begun to evolve into more than a simple
animation. The stories found in animé have reached a level of complexity similar to
traditional cinema. However, lighting in animé, has been minimal. Using computers
to create animé, rather than creating it traditionally by hand, has allowed greater
opportunities to be creative with lighting. Color and computer-generated (CG) effects
can be integrated with traditional line drawings to create beautiful images in
animé. Since cinematic lighting exhibits some of the finest examples of lighting, this
thesis will analyze lighting styles from three different cinematographers and adapt
them to three anim??e style scenes in 3D. The scenes will be modeled, lit, and rendered
using Alias/Wavefront MAYATM, and textured using Adobe PhotoshopTM. The result
will be a visual CG piece that adapts the lighting style of certain distinctive
cinematographers, while retaining the look of animé.
