Great tutorial, thank you.

Amazing! Gleb the GOAT!

it is rendered with cycles?

I have a question, it is unrelated but if fractals are infinite, does that mean there is endless variation with unique procedural or textures?

Make the strength value of a light source negative and it will absorb light. Easy way to make dark spots.

Very interesting !

Bro this needs more likes*.. Thank you Gleb you have made my renders look better and cinematic especially with the cinematic lighting course..

I cant seem to get any features from the feature extraction. What am i doing wrong?

Hi, Is there an advantage to using Reality Capture over Reality Scan?

Just like my professor in class, you forgot the Emission node... I am heartbroken over this...🥲 Jokin here, I use Emssion nodes a lot to get stylized 2D looks. This is the first time I check out realistic rendering out side of class and I am thankful on how well made this course is!! <33

Appreciate this tutorial. It looks like the Principled BSDF node is different in 4.0 now, and some of those subsurface options are not the same anymore. The material from the final version blend file works just fine, even though the node tree looks a lot different, so I just copy/pasted that one in.

looks more real than reality, finaly an evidence that we live in the matrix

I’m a year late

Hi Alex, could you send me the files as the link is not working

Hi Greb. Great tutorial (I watched at it only now), as usual. A question: I have takena video around a statue, turned that into images and used the frames in Meshroom. The point cloud looks OK, but the mesh only reconstructs the environment around and not the statue. If I constraint the meshing with a box I basically get a box as a mesh. Any suggestions?

I use sharp edges All the time in my game. To be honest I didn't know the sharp edges before yesterday however even before find the Sharp edge modifier in my model I use combination of flat serfese and smooth. Most off my models are made for video game so it's icentsal to make sure that those model's don't have unessery polygons. Because of this wean I want to make model that have some part flat and other smooth I use flat smooth serfese and Sharp edge. Also wean make weapon's for my game blade's and stuff like I want this blade to be Sharp on the edge same with many other situation's like mention It's true most people don't use comenetion of Sharp and smooth edges I and flat and and smooth serfese like i do but with my experience the model's i create looks better in that way. So I don't care if very little amount of people use comenetion off of flat and smooth or not 😅. L

I've said this for years, the real secret to good renders that a lot of beginners won't learn until later is actually nothing to do with 3d rendering at all. It's actually just good cinematography. (You can also hide a lot of crimes with good lighting and good textures)

Thank you !

I wish we could get a proper plugin of Corona for blender, I just never found the cycles materials to look that realistic and feels like a limitation for most things although speed wise it’s much better.

great tutorial Gleb, thank you, very grateful

привет.а на русском есть?)

I have a question. How to adjust the scale of a model? I want to get a 1:1 model,but it always gives me a 1:650 model. (sorry for my poor english,this is google translation)

Hi, do you have Lighting Tutorial for Architectural Visualization? exterior and interior lighting

is it still worth buying in 2024?

Amazing! Unfortunately, in dollars (since I'm from an economy that's a bit weak haha), it's a bit unfeasible, maybe someday!! On my "wishlist" hahaha

can't make it work on a cylinder

I'll be getting this course the moment I upgrade my GPU (RTX 4070, in my case). Thank you so much for making this course, I can use a lot of this info for my future renders! 😊

Finally some quality comparisons and a quality video that goes at least a tiny little bit into the technical details of photogrammetry. Most videos/creators don't do that.

bought an addon on gum road, and the zipfile came in blank, says 0 bytes, and i cant download it to blender and the developer is convinced i should keep trying, is this a problem on my end? or theres? and what should be done ?

How you blocked the light from above and still make the plane not appear on the render? It's probably so simple but im a bit new to this

For everyone missing the subsurface color option: with blender 4.0, you change the color value by modifying the "radius" values (=RGB)

I work in Unreal Engine & I attempting to figure out how to apply this method, there. Having some progress but I just do not seemed to grasp the theories / comprehend the concepts to get a proper handle on lighting in UE. Great video. I’ve watched it multiple times and will do more times. Very helpful and informative in a proper applied way.

Ok you mentioned Stalker so Im in love with you.

so... its so opensource nobody on the planet bothered tosetup everything so we just import pics and it does entire process till mesh is generated... wow

Dude I've been looking for a way to do custom bokeh with eevee for like a year now and this video saved my life! Thx!

this software use gpu or cpu?

what a crap

Thank you for your great tutorials! This one was very informative and helpful, since I have been contemplating on cinematic lighting as well ;-)

So good

Это просто какая то сказка!! Спасибо тебе!

Very interesting topic and very interesting video/discussion. I think there is actually one hard rule: the cinematic look starts with the principles of photography and especially exposure. An aspect of this is in the list as dynamic range, but you do mention other important aspects in the video which should also be on the list. For instance, if your shaders and texturing aren't correctly set up and respond differently in relation to each other than in the real world then the photographic principle breaks and making it look cinematic using the other items on the list only brings you so far. I checked the transcript and you mentioned exposure only once, while I consider it the key starting point of a photographic -> cinematic look. About the examples, I have some feedback/ideas on some of the choices you made, see it as addition to the discussion; for the robot portrait the key light actually kills the softness. Actually, the specular settings kill the softness. A lightwrap using the fresnel reflectivity might work better in this case when there's no clear directionial light. I noticed the reflection is brighter than the sky, that's inherently impossible when simulating outdoor light. Basically as you say @17:37. The part where you discuss the course while showing the night/day parking lot shows the importance of the camera response to light. For the day version I see it tries to be exposed for the diner/restaurant, but that should also expose the cars even less, but they aren't. The cars look a bit exposed for the sky, but then way underexposed for that. While the sky would be blown out anyway when the scene is exposed for the diner/restaurant, but it isn't. The 'motivation' of the light in this scene should be exposure. What to expose for and how does that affect the other elements in your scene which have a different exposure value. For the cloudscape the renderer's volumetric shader is key deterministic in whether to achieve a cinematic look or not. The forward scatter has little to do with it, that's just the term describing the direction the incoming ray of light exits the volume. With lighting 90 degrees from the camera the forward scatter moves in the direction of -90 degrees of the camera. When using backlighting for (preferred way for) cinematic lighting it's actually the backscatter which is super-important for creating both silhouette and depth perception of your cloud. Example 8 is great.
