Love it. Clear, precise and insightful. Subbed.
I'm with you man. Great Video.
those (textures) are pretty simple shapes, you can safe a lot of space on your hard drive just making it proceduraly in blender and save as asset, it will be even better than 32-bit depth images, though your eye can't see the difference anyways
yeah, you are right. some can be done procedurally. It's just easier to do them in photoshop for me, than setting up node networks. Others are a bit more complicated and I needed to model a softbox / diffuser, place lights and render them out to an exr. Ideally at some point I'll book a photo studio for an hour or two and shoot HDRi's of actual lights. too bad HDRi's can't capture the directionality of the light too :D
It's been a while since I've worried about running out of hard drive space...
@@adrianscarlettwait till you do animation tho. You'll be squeezing every MB
I would prefer having the textures because if it's between me wasting time setting up nodes for a lighting feature and just not doing it, I probably wouldn't do it. The textures save a lot of tine
the whole point of the video is to try to sell those lazy ass gradient jpegs. you think aothor will put some effort into making them procedural?
As an NPR artist, this is probably nothing I will ever use, but I still like to watch these videos for their nice visuals and the fact, how Blender keeps going and going in becoming more and more awesome. It has already been insanely great 10 years ago, but the foundation won't stop. Normally, you wouldn't be a fan of tools. Like I use Photoshop, doesn't mean I am an Adobe fan. But Blender, with as good as it is and just giving us all those abilities without any boundaries and without questions asked, yeah I consider myself a Blender fan. I am about to open up my first serious channel, which will be completely animated - and the first shirt my character will be wearing, carries the Blender logo.
Brilliant. These tips are gold.
That's intresting , looks cool
Wow - that is so cool video tutorial.I wish i knew about it.Thank you sir for publishing video tutorial about that feature.
Thanks for the video. Is this Blender Scene also in the Gumroad File included?
No, I haven't include it. if it's something you are interested in I can share it via mail/gdrive
Awesome tutorials
You can use plane with emission shader
well, true and at the same time - not really. the lights have additional options like directionality and sampling which are very useful
@@blenderisms you can use a bend modifier /s
Very nice! Thank you for sharing.
Great video! 🤩
Straight to the point +sub
subbed for having great videos. If I may ask, what gpu do you use?
hi, I use an RTX3090 that i got off the second hand market yo save some bucks. I also put my pc specs in the video description along with some links to my socials, gumroad and discounts.
My bad I must've missed it. Thanks!
Have you used: HDRI map,when publishing that video tutorial ?
The environment in this render is just a pure black color. I'm using textures with High Dynamic Range plugged in the lights. they are in .exr format though.
@@blenderisms where to download these type of textures
@@salahuddinshaikh1506 there's a link in the video description
Thanks dawg
It's not the most underrated, it's the most anticipated! At least for me.
yeah, but I really did not see any videos about it or anyone talking when 4.0 came out, so ... 😁
I dont know why but the old one felt more real.
I actually used the method on mesh planes. I actually thought light could already have UV since it could project images textures already. What is actually different vs the old method?
if you just use a plane and give it an emissive material, you can't control something like the directionality. and as far as I remember, only the spotlight could project textures. Also as i showed, you could get uv's to work in older versions, you just need to jump some hoops.
Well just tried it and perhaps im crazy. Not seeing what is supported, but i only see it work on spot lights. all others are still prection and average color
Nevermind, it was the beamshape causing the issue. Weird i can remember i used something in earlier version, cant remember the workflow though. I needed to put it to 0 for it to project sharp image from the light source
How can i add a Blackbody node for the light temperature, with these textures? I always struggle between choosing one or another
you can either multiply them using a mix color node or plug the hdri texture into the strenght slot of the emission node
Definitively not the Most UNDERRATED feature (it's not even a feature, you are just using nodes to create an HDRi like environnement) and you can do that since Blender 2.8 if not earlier.
you have your opinion, man, as wrong as it is 🤡 It is a feature, as in it is a functionality that wasn't available before, or you needed to jump hoops to do it. It is underrated as this is probably the most used trick in product rendering and nobody in the blender community ever mentions it, cause it didn't work out of the box. I've seen some people try to do it by using a plane with a translucency shader as a light diffuser but that's just upping the render times, for comparable, if not worse results. Lastly, if you think working with actual lights is the same as just plugging in an hdri ... I don't have much to say to you 🥲
@@blenderisms Damn bro, stop being so condescending perhaps?
@@Tweedledee__ naah, there've been a few times where people mention stuff in the comments that is better than what I showed in the vid and I've always pinned them as a top comment. Then there are times like this ... I really don't know another way to respond to this level of ignorance and condescension
kinda fun to see how many copy my years old coffee maker lighting and rendering video ;)
Really? just because we used the same object to render? That is quite the stretch.
Then it is a coincident that in recent time two more tutorials about lighting for the same coffee maker was created.
well, it is a really good coffee maker 😁 but I haven't really paid attention to what others are uploading. I just built upon my previous video on product lighting with the same object.
@@blenderismsno hard feelings or anything I just found it funny
And yes it is a great coffee maker and also a good object to demo that concept
you need to try octane bro, youll love it!
To be honest, I've tried most render engines/have licenses for them and I use V-Ray/Corona at work, but for personal projects and fun I stick with Cycles simply for how well it is integrated into blender, which just makes it easier to work with. not necessarily a better renderer though.
yeah i understand. But octane is free and most popular for product viz. if you can please do make some tuts using octane, many people are unaware of the octane's capacity. and since this channel is mostly product viz it would be great to get some extra information out :) .Its as easy as cycles. Give it a shot. @@blenderisms
@@blenderisms I worked with Blender in my job for quite some time, and I'm transitioning to 3ds Max + Corona (I still model in Blender, much better there). I can say that the renders I get straight from Corona look a lot nicer.
I know that it is possible to achieve the same quality with Cycles; however, with the tight deadlines, my opinion is that Corona delivers me the goods in a shorter time.
It's normal. Corona's only purpose is arch-viz. And to be honest the libraries with materials and models for max and vray/corona are just better than the blender alternatives. So yeah, as nice as blender is, for work you have to use whatever gets the job done the quickest.
@@blenderisms hi i have a question, for product visualization, is octane the best? or there is a better one? do u have any recommendation? im struggling to find the best render engine for product visualization? thank you
Yeah but I doubt it works in eevee. Worthless info for me :(
Why not just use IES texture?
IES lights simulate how light spreads coming from a spotlight, which will not give you the same reflections as a softbox. if you want, try to get the same look with IES lights, you will find for yourself.
Before was better 😊
everybody is entitled to their bad taste, my friend 😁😁😁😁😁😁 jk
