    1 - Sun light (at 175)
    2 - Tweak color management (exposure at -4.6)
    3 - Make a crispy fill light (copy other sun light, reduce its strencht, orient it)
    4 - Add a transparent material for the out face of the windows and an emission to their insides
    5 - Emission on the reactors
    6 - Noise texture for the background

    Irradiance W/m2 in Space at 1 AU (1 Astronomical Unit - Earth/Sun distance) is about 1360. Saturn for example has an AU of 9.5 that means an irradiance of about 15 W/m2. I´m just saying because I was interested and did some researches.

    2:45 - EDIT: I see now you already covered the exposure concept. EDIT 2: Plus you covered everything else I just wrote about. Lol, you're good dude. Most people cry when basic math/physics comes up in life. EDIT 3: 6:50 - and you drink water when you're dehydrated! That's it, I'm subscribing now.
    -The Sun/Earth value is actually closer to 1,000 watts per square meter. You'd then need to adjust your exposure because Blender defaults to 3 or 4 stops too bright for historic reasons, and they refuse to fix it. Turn on the -_-Nishita-_- world environment surface to see what I mean about exposure being too high by default. That said... since you're doing a spaceship, the value will obviously be different from the Sun/Earth value depending on where your scene is set, which stars are nearby, etc.-

  • @FireBert85

    coming at this video from the future--I'm not getting the same immediate results from creating the back-facing technique in the windows. I downloaded the same ship model, and there is geometry that clips through and blocks the faces that--according to your steps in your video--should be visibly emitting the panel texture. I can't just hide this extra geometry either; doing so removes crucial geometry that is exposed elsewhere in the model. I'm not sure if this guy updated his model since this, or if you made some edits before recording the video, but there are definitely additional steps that I would need to do beyond what you've illustrated here. (other clues to this are the fact that, out of the box, my model's textures aren't named the same as yours, some have normal maps connected, and other things)

      I'd start with Blender Guru! The classic donut tutorial series is popular for a reason.
      My focus is usually more intermediate, but I'll do some that are more beginner-focused in certain specific areas

    If you're going for a "camera exposing for the sun" type scene then technically you wouldn't be able to see any stars but obviously adding them won't kill anything

    • @ChristopherFraserVFX
      @ChristopherFraserVFX  Год назад

      Depends on what you mean by highlights, but these sorts of scenes are typically pretty high contrast so they tend to have brighter parts and darker parts. If you mean glittering on the surface of your object, that sounds like it has to do with the materials.
