Oh, this is a neat concept for lighting. Using a strong key light to establish shadows first makes total sense for defining form, even if it initially makes things too dark.
That secondary light from below is a smart workaround! Bringing back those skin and hair tones without losing the shadow definition is crucial for making it look natural.
Starting with the lightest base color and relying on multiply layers for shadows is a really interesting approach. It makes sense that multiply would boost saturation and value.

The video begins by outlining a lighting strategy for 3D models, suggesting a two-light approach to define shadows [0:00]. Initially, a strong key light is used to shape shadows [0:10], but this can make the subject appear too dark. To counter this, a secondary light is introduced from below to reintroduce skin and hair tones [0:30]. This strategy sets the stage for addressing four key rendering challenges, starting with establishing base colors. The speaker emphasizes using the lightest possible color as a base, as darker colors will be added via multiply layers, which enhance saturation and value [1:00].
