Is this format of a breakdown rather than create-it-from-scratch useful, or would you prefer to watch lighting tutorials that take the scene with no lighting and then we add 1 light at a time together until it's done?
I missed your beautiful tutorials even I am not working on Blender anymore. Been following you since 2014... my first year of impression to 3D world of Computer Graphics. Thanks, Gleb!
Aww it's so nice of you to say that you like to watch it from time to time! I know what you mean, I have a few channels that aren't directly attached to what I currently do but I still love their vibe and the info they present.
It's not something exclusive I guess, since there are a ton of tutorials and articles about high-key lighting especially in photography, but I appreciate your kindness :)
...And so chaotically presented :D haha, thank you Laurence! It suppose it requires some careful picking to get what you need from such squeeze-a-bunch-of-things-in-half-an-hour type of videos)
@@GlebAlexandrov haha that's ok... I've not come across high key lighting before, so that in itself was pretty interesting..there's always something new to learn with Gleb:)
Absolutely! The most challenging thing is to pick what topic to turn attention to, for the first update let's say. What is your personal top-3 of lighting topics?
Hey Gleb enjoying the Cinematic Course so far, in the asset zipfile, if I click on the blender file, nothing but a default cube shows up. The only way to bring the whole scene open with every asset was to append the blend file. But opening it this way I wasnt able to get the lightgroup nodes in compositing. Is there any way to open it directly?
I downloaded the asset but cannot find how to turn off Worldlight, it contains Background & World Output nodes only and does not react to value changes or delete. Does the file contain some hidden collections or whatever it is?
@@GlebAlexandrov No, the explanation is beautiful and understandable, but I meant that the level you have reached is very advanced. I have been following your work from your first beginnings on blender, and you always have creativity that dazzles us with it. I wish I could become a professional like you
Better, more diverse compression algorithms? I need to dig deeper to be able to answer. Exr is the industry standard (oh, maybe also that HDR can't be multilayer?).
Noooo! Not chromatic abberation! please spare my eyeballs, it hurts to look at. IMO Looks like i'm seeing double, out of focus, it strains my eyes no joke, and ruins pictures. I hope it falls out of favour like the good old overused mindlessly used lensflare.
The tutorial timeline as usual:
00:45 - What is high-key lighting
01:45 - Practical lights, custom falloff
05:35 - Key-fill ratio (contrast ratio)
06:47 - HDRI, Polyhaven, post-pro in Krita
08:10 - HDRI lighting in Blender
10:48 - Light path node
13:18 - Key lights (area lights)
16:54 - Depth of field, ambient occlusion in Eevee
18:43 - Fog and haze, volume shader
20:52 - Steam and particle effect (extra)
23:16 - Light direction
24:37 - Overexposure, Filmic view transform
27:12 - Post-processing
29:43 - Conclusion
Eevee tutorials like this are amazing, thank you so much❤
Eevee needs some love too. Wouldn't be fair to let Cycles steal all the likes)
My god, you hero
Professional lectures for both juniors and pros! Good quality, Mister!
Probably too convoluted to beginners though :( No matter how hard we try, it ends up being aimed at the intermediate Blender users it seems.
A master class, as always, thanks Gleb

@@GlebAlexandrov This way is ok, all your tutorial are master class, I learn so much
YEAAAHHH GLEB THIS IS THE STUFF
CG Stuff! 🔥
cool one
This is exactly what I'm looking for! Great tutorial, thank you very much!
That's not my most used lighting style, I think, but I love it anyway especially in conjunction with overexposure.
thank you

Amazing! Thank you.

Atmosphere from Alien 1 1979 ;I Good Work, great!
that hdri setup omg 🤯
glad you like it! it's a fairly standard way of doing it (except maybe the light path node and the pre-blurring shenanigans).
Most professional , thanks 🙏
Gelebb!⚓ Brigagagyrik!
Thank you so much for sharing your incredible knowledge with us.

Phenomenal tutorial as always!
Thank you Joseph!
Outstanding, so much knowledge in one video...

Thanks for your light course, it's incredibly cool. I got a lot of new knowledge. Will this course be updated with new lessons?
Absolutely! The most challenging thing is to pick what topic to turn attention to, for the first update let's say. What is your personal top-3 of lighting topics?
What are those cubes around the camera?
You are a genius
Nobody is, especially not those who call themselves like that :D You're too kind!
Awesome :)
Get the lighting course, it is amazing and you will learn a ton!
That is so kind of you to recommend it! It's a high praise to see such reviews, we were working hard to match such expectations.

Thanks! If I understood you correctly, the .zip files have to be unpacked first.

Watching what you're doing, I feel like we're years behind you, haha😅😅
Can't be true! This impression hints at the convoluted nature if this video I think)))

07:19 Hey Gleb, is there an advantage to use the EXR over the HDR format ?
Better, more diverse compression algorithms? I need to dig deeper to be able to answer. Exr is the industry standard (oh, maybe also that HDR can't be multilayer?).
For blur HDRI. What's the difference between low-resolution vs. high-resolution (4k), Impact on memory usage?
Agx would work good with high key lighting I assume?
Yes! Send me a screenshot if you do a comparison between AgX and Filmic in this scene, Saif :)

YAS!!!

Yeah I know what you mean :) It's so close to being a defocus type of effect so if overused, it could look REALLY weird indeed.
