Great explanation, thanks a lot for the tutorials. Appreciate it. As my school doesn't have professors who know keyshot, we learn online. And people like you helps us alot.
THANK YOU!! this is exactly what I was looking for! I needed to specifically make a label glow off and on to add emphasis to a video without having to do a lot of post-processing. This is epic! now I can move my camera anywhere I want in the animation and it's all beautiful! Thank you!
You are the best I'm an amateur And my language is Persian from Iran But only using your own RUclips subtitle translation I fully understand what you mean Wonderful I look forward to more training Good luck
Really instructive for my electronic product project. I just change the color fade animation to attach it on opacity of the emissive to create led lighting breathe behind thin plastic wall (some translucid effect). Thanks for help !
Hi Will Gibbons! I really love your video tutorials, and I hope you add more video about these. Because I don't how to do in Keyshot. About the LED letter. It is for signage letters and those one I sent them to your instagram. So I hope you add more these one.
Thanks for the suggestion. I can't make any promises, but we'll see. In the meantime, I encourage you to play around with area lights and emissive materials. That should get you started.
i have subscribed you as you are giving tutorials in details, you are good person, i am also learning rendering as i am freelancer jewelry designer using Rhinoceros and matrix. So. .. Brother keep it up always in details. ♥️ respect
before this, I used to adjust the scene at a certain angle and just use the fade animation on the whole emitting part, making it invisible... LOL... Thanks for the tutorial.
Great tutorial. Do you use keyshot rendering network for animating those renders. Can you make a video on rendering on any one of rendering farms. So confused what to and how to use them.
Hey! Thanks for the comment. I'll work on creating this, but it probably won't be ready for a while. In the meantime, I recommend you reach out to Steve and Adam at 3D Off The Page: www.3dotp.com/ and let them know that Will Gibbons sent you. They'll answer any questions you have!
Good question. It might not be possible. Generally, you can use a color fade node to control the color. But if you're controlling the brightness with a color fade node then you'd have to use a color fade to control the intensity/brightness as well as a color fade for the color. I hope that helps.
Hi Candice, yeah, that's the challenge. I found that by playing with material settings, like color, transparency distance, IoR was the only way. It wasn't 100% perfect, but I found I could get close just by tweaking material values until they pretty much matched
@@WillGibbons hehe okay then challenge accepted. I'll tweak material attributes then. Thank you! Thank you! I learned a lot from this session. I appreciate all that you do.
Hi Will, thanks for the tutorial: I've been working on a similar project, and that explained me many steps. The only missing one is, I'm also trying to change the animated LED color at a certain point; is that possible?
It should be possible using a color fade, depending on exactly how you set it up. You can use a curve fade now for brightness and color fade for color. Also, if you wish to dive deeper, I have a paid tutorial where I cover more advanced topics based on this subject: gumroad.com/willgibbons
Excellent tutorial!! Really clear explanations! Question...What Notebook specs range would you recommend for a noob rendering enthusiast like me...With a budget of around USD 1200? Would you recommend any brand over the others? Thanks for everything!!
Good question. With that budget, you really can't be picky about brands. The only thing that is important with KeyShot is the CPU. Yes, KeyShot 9 has GPU rendering, but it's not a very mature feature yet and you won't get an RTX card for that budget which KeyShot 9 GPU pretty much needs to be fast. I recommend the most CPU cores you can get for that price. If you go used, you could get a higher end computer, but even a laptop with an 8th gen i7 CPU will be good for that price. I'm not sure if you can find any laptops with AMD Ryzen CPUs yet, but AMD processors have been cheaper and faster recently. Good luck!
@@WillGibbons thanx, but I have doubt, your animation is almost a static one with no camera or model movements just only the light flickering and my doubt is why can’t the frame rates be low like for 5fps or less for such almost a static animation. Because I did an animation with a car just parked near a lamp post and all the lights goes on one by one but it takes more than 80hours of to render with 24fps. I just need to reduce the render time as I don’t use any camera or model movements it’s just only the lights going on.
@@WillGibbons Finished the rendering, it took 10hrs 48mins and the results were not bad actually . I expected it to come out as too flickery, but I was surprised to see a okayish smooth video.
Hi Will, wel done! i have a small questions... i would like to have a white text and i would like to simulate a green backlight... so once the light it's off the text as to be white... any idea? and thanks again for your usefull videos
Sure. Just create a white plastic label. Then, add another label (this time a green emissive label with the text/graphic as the opacity map). Then use a curve fade to fade the light (emissive label) on and off.
Hmm, when I link the my personal png label to the mask, the whole object remains colored with the gradient, but a bit darker. What could the problem be?
@@WillGibbons well I made a png out of a vector image it's in a blue color, when I attach the gradient, no matter what I do, it remains blue, but in different shades. I did it exactly the way you showed :)
Hey Will, really very useful tutorial.. Thanks a lot! nicely explained. Do you use the same method for rendering lamps? I want to render a lamp(or a bulb) lighting a room. I want it to illuminate the room but the light source shouldnt appear complete white. Could you please tell me how to achieve it?
Hey, thanks for the comment. Try using a point light or spot light and use separate geometry to be the bulb. Set the bulb to either emissive or flat and use the point/spotlight to illuminate the room.
Do you know if there's a way to increase bloom radius beyond 128 px? It's a shame that it doesn't scale up in the output window and the bloom radius becomes insignificant at renders at +10,000 px
The KeyShot Rendering Masterclass is now available! courses.willgibbons.com/keyshot-rendering-masterclass
Not a single dislike. Your channel is so underrated. You should be exposed to the world bro. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the love. The best thing you can do is share my channel with as many people as you think would benefit from it. Cheers!
The bloom feature in image is game changing, thank you for featuring that! 👏
Nice!
Great tutorial!

don't know what to say, just love you =] thanks you so much and keep going, alway support you in future
That's too kind! :)
can you demonstrate LED tail lamp rendering along with Reflector inside?
It's a good suggestion!
Hi! Great tutorial! Can this be used for several objects that have the same emissive material?
You should be able to. Not sure what you mean exactly, but if you link the materials of several objects, their appearance will be treated as one.
Yes

how do you blend it to the main case color once off? like stealth mode when led is off

@@WillGibbons Great info.!!! Thanks a lot!! I think the best I can do is to get some more money before I buy :D
What is the output frames per second you used?
Hi. I typically use 30fps. But, 24fps should be the lowest you can go and still get smooth playback.
@@WillGibbons thanx, but I have doubt, your animation is almost a static one with no camera or model movements just only the light flickering and my doubt is why can’t the frame rates be low like for 5fps or less for such almost a static animation.

Sir how to bring in a texture baked model from blender 3d to keyshot for animation
I don't think it's possible.

Hey, thanks for the comment. Try using a point light or spot light and use separate geometry to be the bulb. Set the bulb to either emissive or flat and use the point/spotlight to illuminate the room.
any reason who not to add the emissive light as a planar surface via CAD and have it as an independent part?
No. You could do that. Typically it's less work and leaves your model in one piece if you just go with image-based graphics. But, it'd work.
Do you know if there's a way to increase bloom radius beyond 128 px? It's a shame that it doesn't scale up in the output window and the bloom radius becomes insignificant at renders at +10,000 px
No, sorry. 10K is massive though. I'd just do it in post if that were the case.
saved my final
