In this video tutorial, we’ll step through the process of setting up a neutrally lit scene to use as an asset viewer and material/texture validation scene. This setup is typically used in production to provide a flat, neutral lit scene in which to view assets, spot inaccuracies, inconsistencies, and otherwise potential visual problems with materials/shaders. This setup should only include the most basic assets necessary and nothing more.
I highly recommend you use this setup regardless of your project size. It will save you time and headaches throughout production.
