Lighting

The lighting in the scene was difficult to set up particularly in the corner where the mousetrap needed to be. No one puts a mousetrap out in the open, but usually against a wall or corner if not in a cupboard. Having the mouse go into the corner where the mousetrap was caused issues with how the lighting fell. To resolve this, I had to implement ambient light as well as adding a light into the corner in order to be able to properly see the mouses eyes and face. The lighting in the rest of the scene is basic, with two lights, one residing above the back room where the mouse and the bomb robot come from and one above the main room where the mousetrap is. This was sufficient for lighting the whole scene at all necessary angles. The light over the main room is a spotlight, while the other two are lamps. The lamp in the corner has it's brightness reduced so that the light doesn't flood too much. In hindsight, it is probably still too bright however it does work fairly well.
