UPDATES FROM THE FUTURE
- It turns out you don't need the whole constrained empty thing! As pointed out by Cole Smith, you can simply select the light itself as the object you're getting the coordinates from.
- "Clearly" is mispelled as "Clarely" in the stylisation graph. Excuse my non native english! ;)

WE NEED A IN-DEPTH TUTORIAL!!!
especially for beginners like myself it would be great ✨
Agreed! The possibilities are fascinating, but a little overwhelming and I really don't know where to start haha
Stick around! I may cover more in depth applications for this as well as other lighting related topics ;)
Pun intended???
Not just beginners, i've been using blender for 2 years. But i've never delved into how to use math etc as masks.
I've allready learned sooo much from this, but i can't for the heck of me get gradient lighting haha
Just a heads up! You can actually select the object the material is on in the texture coordinates node. This means no need for an empty!
OMG! You're right! It never occurred to me that you could do that. That's just way more elegant and convinient! I love it when things make sense ;) Thank you very much!
Cole, would you explain the step by step for accomplishing this step. Thank you.
@@richard29sher Sure, everything is the same up until adding the empty. On the Texture Coordinate node, click on the textbox field labeled "Object:" (same place they selected the empty from). In that dropdown, you will see the light you are currently editing. You can select that light so the material will reference the scale of the light it is attached to. Basically, instead of creating an empty and referencing its texture coordinates, you are just referencing the texture coordinates of the light itself. Hopefully that makes sense.
@@fiveoneecho Yep, it sure does, thanks so much!
@@fiveoneecho u could privatley message Pau instead of publically putting him on blast like this
I remember seeing the "Light Paths" node first demonstrated in an old BlenderGuru video to optimize a glass material to let more light through it. But I didn't even think that it could be used on the lights itself. Great insight.
thats one of these things i miss so much since i started using eevee only. simple things, like blackbody or ies textures. so easy to use yet sooooo good. and the fake caustics, thats always fun to mess around. when i was doing archviz for an indoor pool it made my scene go from 0 to 100 in few simple nodes
As a beginner who's been using Blender during a couple of months, I can see that my 3D learning journey just got miles longer, which is fun thanks to people like you and the beautiful Blender community!
Thanks for the message! It really helps a lot! And the fun thing about learning is that the journey does never end. Hurray! Cheers!
I honestly think that every time we learn something new, the journey gets longer! It's just the way it is!
This video is like having my eyes opened for the first time, incredible
Nice to hear! Thanks for the comment!
I'm so greatful for your efforts with lighting!! Thank you and Please make more videos/tutorials on this important discovery.
I love when people get excited about things, especially 3d related! It's very wholesome to watch it😄
Nah, it's annoying
Nice video and love your energy!
Thank you very much! I love your work. Uh! And almost forgot! The demo scene in the video is using your Pro Lens 2 Addon. It's pretty neat! ;)
that video is a gem, I didn't expect that! this is amazing work. Stylized lighting god damn ,that's huge!!!
This is amazing
Hey! Thank you so much for the comment, it means a lot! :)
you sound so happy about this, I love it
Yess! Give your lights some love. Haha great video! Looking forward to using this to play around with light nodes more! Thanks for the tips.
Just found out about this on the Blender's vod and ended up on your own channel, it was a great talk! I should have worked on that donut..
Just watching you talk about lights has gotten me excited!
OMG! this channel have lot of things to learn from.
Thank you teaching, and looking for such more .
I've been using Maya and I'm also studying the blender. The lighting setting of the blender was too simplified compared to Maya, so I had a lot of thoughts about how to light up the indirect light. I think this video should become more and more famous. You're a genius!
Thanks for the comment! I'm glad it helped!
your tutorials and quick videos are saving me on my college projects
I'm so glad!
This is the best Tutorials for Light I've ever gotten.
This is so good! Really we explained and has helped me a lot! Definitely subscribing!
Qué máquina!! Gracias por el tutorial express !
You just changed my life. Thank you
that's an amazing video!
I've just subbed, looking forward for more videos!!
Many thanks, I've moved from other programs to blender and have been wanting to make gobos, so this is great.
I love the passion in your voice, an instant subscribe
complete Lifechanger!!! THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!
What an awesome little video! I keep forgetting to tinker around light nodes. Gonna keep referring to this video! Subbed! :D Please make more of these!
This is so interesting, thank you!
This video had been absurdly useful. Thank you
I have actually used this lol.
But it's because I'm a crazy person who likes to go into the nodes for a black body color temperature node pretty often.
I'm also a big fan of cheating the light falloff once in a while. IES lamps also a gamechanger.
I like to use OSL. Then I found that IES texture nodes don’t work if you enable OSL. So I wrote a Python script to translate any given IES file into OSL.
Here before you pop off. You're already in the algorithm so expect explosive growth in the next month. Great content! Your humor and energy seem so natural. Taking notes ;)
Maravilloso video Pau!
Your content is fire, Keep it up!
My render improved greatly thanks to this video, really thanks!
I didn't know your channel, I feel happy I saw it posted by BlenderNation on Twitter.
Thank you, for your comment and your time!
Thanks for creating this!
Thank you and i love the energy that you have keep going ♥
Thank you!
great video keep making them like this it works!
Wow, pretty amazing, thank you ! :)
Glad I found your channel :) super informative
Super useful video, thanks man!
This was very interesting!
I didn't think this was THAT helpful a feature-but your giddiness convinced me otherwise! I'm genuinely excited to try this out now!
Absolutely wonderful video -- I really love your narration / writing style! It's entertaining and your enthusiasm is contagious.
Been in a bit of a creative slump lately, not feeling like messing with 3D. I think this might have gotten me out. 😄
Thank you so much! ;)
Nice. I'm very into 3D light. Hope you make more helpful tutorials about light
I’ve watched this and it help me a lot, can’t wait for the god ray tutorial
Amazing!!
Brilliant content, been binging it and its been very insightful. Wonder how you've been enjoying Light Linking in Blender since you haven't posted in a while! I feel like its a huge game changer for stylized rendering in Blender and has helped a lot of setups that before required crazy node setups and compositing hacks.
Excellent - subscribed.
Lots of great information.
Thank you! It means a lot coming from you! :D
This was put together so well, I have to sub!
Thank you! :)
love the subtitles
Well sr.. well done, another new suscriptor! Love the video (I usually use the nodes in the lamps, but I have to admit that I never give it the proper atention that it deserves)
Wow. Nice find!!!
Fantastic video.
Subbed! You got me in the first minute, keep it up!
You give it my need
Saving for future use
Respect dude ❤️
Cool stuff!
I just clicked on this video because it looked cool, but I actually ended up finding how to make a rainbow light gradient. The other day I was going all through the tutorials I could find and none of them gave me the answer I needed. I guess sometimes that is how RUclips works! Great video, I'll be sticking around for more videos.
Thank you for the message! A pleasure ;)
This is amazing. Thank you for this tip!
Thank you for your comment! It really puts a smile on my face :)
I love this video man,nice music.:)
WOW! Awesome!
Great tutorial, Blender is supa-powerful so many misconceptions and misunderstandings from people that comes from others software, Thanks Pau you need to make more of those :)
Thanks for the support, Lluc!
you are amazing, thx for sharing your knowledge !
Thank you for your comment! :)
Absolutely amazing! Didn’t know this was a thing. Subscribed!
Thank you! :)
I've used nodes with lights myself, it's a dream! One way I use it is with normal coordinates, I set up a noise texture as a mask and animate it, it looks like a tree in front of your light source, creating shadows of its leaves
Mind blown. Completely
I love your energy 💚⚡💚
Thank you!
so underrated! Thanks man
What a great tutorial! Thank you so much!
Thank you, for your comments and for your tips!
Thank you for the video. I only used this ones and never used it before 😅. Will definitely try to incorporate this in my render
Holy shit this is way too underrated. I always wondered what I could do with nodes for light. This is awesome!
Wow! Who knew such powerful features were so hidden, great tutorial Pau :)
Thank you very much!
Thanks so much for that great overview! ♥
Thank you for your message!
Got sent here from one of Blender Bob’s videos. Nice work! I just subscribed. Looking forward to seeing what else you put out!
Cool presentation skills, keep it up
👏super! this needs to be used way more
great tutorial !!!!!
never knew about this. going to have to mess around with it.
Great! I must say i only discovered light nodes when trying procedural caustics with it
Сheerfully! this is the most cool opening, which gives flexibility in setting up the artistic imagery of the picture. I would love to look at the in-depth material)) thanks)
Amazing, thanks a lot!
I definitely need a Pro Lightining Course on Blender !
Subscribed to your enthusiasm 😆👌
Muy bueno. El nodo Light Path, ese gran incomprendido al que amo.
this is excellent
Finally someone that speaks like how I watch my videos... 1.5x speed -- Yes, most videos (where talking is involved), I have to speed up to 1.5 because generally people don't talk fast. You, however, "Pau Homs" (if that's your real name ;-)), actually speak that quickly!
Hahahhaha, thanks, I guess! ;)
@@homspau - Good information though, so I subbed!
Holy shit, this video is amazing, pls need a more detailed tutorial for lightpath node uses pls!! 🔥
keep going non stop 💝🔝
Must. Have. More. Please please!
NEED MORE IN DEPTH STUFF, THANKS!
The next level
holy f*cking sh*t. Man if there is one thing that is SORELY SORELY SORELY SORELY SORELY SORELY-SORELY-SORELY LACKING in Blender tutorials it's LIGHTING. How to use the lighting tools creatively in Blender. It amazes me how little there is on this. And now you just opened this can of worms! Please, make a course on this - just a few different simple scenes and how you'd approach lighting them. It would be SO helpful. Would be an instant buy from me.
Hey!! Thank you so much for your comment! I'm not working on a course at the moment but I'm writing a video exactly about that: the creative side of shot lighting. I hope it helps! ;)
BLOWING MY MIND! :D
Cara, trabalho na industria automotiva aqui no Brasil e o estudio onde trabalho começou a utilizar o Blender à partir da grande transformação ocorrida na versão 2.8. Cada vez mais me encanto com esse software e esse seu video me proporcionou um grande momento de encantamento. Me deu muito sobre o que pensar. Muito obrigado por isso!
Awesome video 👌👌
Thank you! Cheers!
You just earned another subscriber
Thank you!
Such an important topic, please share some more x) thanks 😘
Thank you! I will! Stick arround if you want to ;)
You got my Sub...great content..loved your style of explanation lol...
Thanks, m8!
