I'm working on a medical animation consisting of a camera travelling inside the human vessel, while several particles are passing by. Furthermore, this is a 360 degrees panoramic animation.
Wherever I put the light, there is always a harsh light explosion on the particles passing close by. Highlight compress helps to some extent but still not enough- plus the image looses contrast.
I need the Light exclude function to exclude the particles but illuminate only the vein walls from the center of the vein (which is possible), while with separate light objects, illuminate the blood particles from outside the vein, which is not possible.
I need a soft illumination without harsh hotspots. Any recommendations?
