I started learning 3Ds Max around 2010. My first innovation was creating a cartoon world with adorable characters. So I tried to use basic texture and put more afford to make the scene look more fantasy. However, I was not very capable with lighting at that time. Ambient light, global illumination and such really did a very good job struggling me time to time. But thanks to that, my lighting skill has improved a bit over time.
