- Use each of the basic realtime light types in the scene: Directional, Point, Spotlight
- Optimize their scene with light baking
- Design the environments using Area Lights
- Use lighting to modify scene moods by modifying intensity and color values.

Old Dining Room
I implemented the flickering of candle flames and a firelit using C# script: by randomly changing the intensity and slightly shifting the position of the light source. I also added some post-processing effect to emphatize the mood of the scene.

Lighting Tutorial
My scene has one point light for the candles, one spot light for the fireplace (both with shadows turned on) and a weak directional light in pink for the dusk effect. I also included some things from the video tutorial like blue fog in the background.

I don't know why the point light does not work, I used realtime baking, the point light was set to realtime as well
