Modern Lighting Techniques in Blender

In this video I will walk you through a few ways to achieve new modern lighting styles in blender.

IES lights are engineering modelled light data and available from light manufacturers such as Philips, or OSRAM etc... also you can use the blend with the spot light to create a softer blend across the light falloff

As a beginner, this is one of the most concise yet valuable videos on lighting
Thank you so much

Thanks for your tutorials, I love your channel😄Actually I am a professional photographer who started to learn Blender a few years ago, and I was alway feeling the lack of good lighting tutorials from most of YouTube Blender tutorial channels. I am really glad that you take the lighting very seriously at the professional photographer level. Please keep up! By the way, you've showed us that you used 2 Area Lights in the 5th example. I haven't tested that scenario in Blender yet, but if I do the actual photo shooting to replicate the scene, I would use only one super narrow and long soft box instead of 2, so if I do it in Blender I will start from the super narrow and super long Area Light (long side is Y axis) as the main light. At least only one light is used apparently in the original image you tried to replicate. Oh, another thing. In the first example, you called the main light "Ambient Light", but we photographers tend to call it "Key Light", and "Ambient Light' is more like the light from HDRI. Anyway, thanks for sharing your wisdom!

I like the pace and simplicity of your tutorials, super helpful. I don't need extreme editing and memes, just good info and a regular pace.

For people interested in IES light files you should also look into CRI values for lighting. CRI stands for colour rendering index and represents true colour values in light. Colour temperature is also important.

thanks for the tut and insights!

tip: you can drag the yellow dot of the spotlight and the light will automatically rotate towards it! is faster than rotating it with double R

finally lighting makes sense than random explorations. i understand better what I'm doing now. thank you for this!!

Dude, you won't believe it but I was intending to try and learn more on lighting, and I opened YT, I see your video literally first on my feeds. Thank you very much, like always, clean, super straightforward, and smooth. Love your videos, learned A HECK LOT, and still am from your channel.

Good stuff! Just wanted to let you know I see your materials EVERYWHERE these days. I've been doing some feedback sessions fixing up scenes and they're pretty popular.

I loved the video lots of value on the tutorials, this should be a series of videos replicating trends in 3D design

[felipeleon]

Thank's man. this tuto made me realize that i can look at pictures and figure it out the light/techniques by myself

[bigfilsing]

Great video thanks. I think the IES needs more explanation that it is actually a lighting profile file, typically from real world light fixtures and manufacturers rather than " a light" Most light fixture manufacturers have an IES file available on their website along side the other technical data. Very useful if your designing an interior where lighting plays a key role

this is gold. must be one of the best lighting tutorials on youtube. thank you for making it! 😍

[samdzn]

love this chill type videos!
Any chance you can make the pintrest thread public for us?

[taten_da]

Amazing tutorial, I keep coming back to it. Thank you.

[richardsher]

Great tutorial, I'm focusing on lights and IES lights are a great fine.

[ReaZaaa]

Great video, thank you :) Depending on the scenes colors, I'd desaturate or change the hue of the nishita sky texture to prevent color cast. e.g. if you have a yellow scene + the blue from the sky, you'll get a green'ish color cast.

Lovely tutorial.. very educative as usual.... Thank you so much ❤❤

[cobalt]

perfect it's the video I've been looking for months, thanks again for all your advice

[barteener]

These lighting tutorials are preaty awesome!
