[@PixellateYT]

I want to see your car library. By the way your 3 min is more valuable than my whole year of study.

[@DamianMathew]

Yeah xD Sometimes it is about learning the right thing instead of all the things.

[@PixellateYT]

@@DamianMathew So true!

[@25knightcrawler]

I've been wanting to try lighting a car in my own path tracer but never knew it could be done so easily. Thank you so much for these tutorials.

[@hritikvaishnav603]

Great. I'm almost done. Now I only need to learn how to model and texture a car, and get a PC that can render them quick.

[@DamianMathew]

Modeling check out the natural art freak!

[@YellowDogAnimations]

Lol me too

[@venomousyt8935]

How are you gonna learn modelling

[@ErnestoKintana]

My pc has a video card of 2gb and its very stable

[@DamianMathew]

Hihihi

[@NaturalArtFreak]

Never knew how to properly light cars in blender, thanks for this video Damian, I'm pretty sure I will use it in my current tutorial series...

[@DamianMathew]

Awesome! Yeah sometimes it’s more simple then you think

[@KennyPhases]

I love the hate-tires. That absolutely made my day! So much hate!!!! You turned it around into something creative, nicely done. I shall subscribe!

This is one of the best videos I have seen - fast - precise - sexy

[@cyberghost7777]

Very nicely explained, less is more indeed. I've been trying to create this exact lighting for a product render, spent almost a whole day trying to get the perfect light. I had several issues where one side of the product would be dark, due to lack of 360° lighting. However my current project is car related, so I thank you for uploading this tutorial :)

[@FurkatAfsarov]

broooo, it's amazing!!!!!

[@-Charan-el8jw]

Plzz Explain about nodes in shading

[@saparjumash]

cool thank you. and i also figured out that if you set clearcoat of the car paint to 3 or 5 you can get that realistic result. i tried many variants and couldnt make it till i coinsidently changed the clearcoat of the car paint

Currently doing a car in Houdini and I'll be saving this video for lighting when I get there.

[@ahmedabdalla970]

Wow damian !! This is cooler than some pro hdri lighting and more straight forward to showcase the product.👍🏼 also can you please show us the material that you used in the ground plan ? Its awesome thanks❤️

[@DamianMathew]

Glad you liked it! I thought people might ask about the floor. It’s really just a texture from texture.com and I am fading it with a radial gradient just like the lights in this tutorial.

[@DamianMathew]

Hm I might make a video about it

[@jeevjoel]

nice

[@matuziyt6044]

How did you make that floor? It looks so good!

[@postmodernerkindergartner960]

It's probably super simple with some different noise textures combined to bump and roughness but i've yet create a floor mat that i like because i'm pretty new to materials in 3d lmao

[@johanhernandez1803]

Hi Damian, can u tell me how to avoid the floor edge to show in the render. Like yours, it blends with the background, but in mine I can see the line. I suk at this.

[@Joko_P]

Up! I also wanna know. The reflection on the floor is really annoying when I tried it, but on his video it looks good. Certainly it's because of the floor material is adjusted, but we don't know how

[@hcgul06]

Use a radial gradiant as the floor alpha/transparency

[@filamentio]

A good, but no longer up-to-date video, I think that's a shame, so I can't really implement it. (Right from the start I am aware that it is impossible to always be up-to-date, Blender is constantly throwing out updates, something that really annoys me...) Also, a simple screenshot of how the node composition is in the Shader would be helpful. If you've dealt with Blender (and I assume that's the target group of this video) you know how to create nodes etc., but you want to know the composition. That makes the video even shorter, it's faster and you actually have less work to do. Anyway i would love to see a update on this topic in the future. Thank you

[@DamianMathew]

i am sure I’ll make more light related videos in the near future! Thanks for the feedbacks

[@GauravKumar-pw8gn]

no diffuse option in my visibility menu

[@DamianMathew]

hm, maybe you are on Eevee? Otherwise, you can maybe post it in our Discord

[@GauravKumar-pw8gn]

@@DamianMathew I found it somewhere in the menu, blender keeps changing its stuff with every update...

[@mikerusby]

around 1:48 you said turn off diffuse and it should be turn on diffuse? do yuo not need to turn off glossy too? if as you said glossy is being lit by the other mesh also if you copy the horizon mesh , the material will be an instance and the top mesh will have a gradient which will not work as it's from the top down

[@abhishekprabhu2086]

Was struggling with creating soft lights in Blender. Thank you for this quick tutorial. Had tried creating soft highlights only with gradient texture before and struggled. I saw you using the same technique. If it is possible could you please elaborate on these technique as Blender otherwise produces a very sharp Highlights or I am unware how to get soft highlights. Also, I have tried using a Translucent plane as a diffuser in front of light, but it produces a lot of noise. Could you please share your tips on these two topics as it will help me light better in blender.

[@1DInciner]

What is the writing on the tire?)

[@DamianMathew]

Hate Comments actually, as well as the license plate of my mustang and my nickname ‘badger’ 😂

[@daviddahl8562]

You only use one camera for the 360 and animate the circle and car together and insert at least 4 key frames to make the car and circle turn. I'm only guessing on that part. I can't find any good videos for cars on that

[@Kyuboyo]

WoW

[@daviddahl8562]

I like the license plate

[@the-real-sachin]

Good quickie Dam! But pls increase the UI scaling man, so hard to see with my small screen

[@k0walsk]

I'm finding this light setup creates quite hard shadows, how would I soften those? Btw nice idea with the hate comment tire!

[@DamianMathew]

@@k0walsk you could fake the floor, by using emission only, using the radial gradient, and adding the Ambient Occlusion Node in the Shader, and maybe even adding some glossy somehow. But you need to subtract the glossy using the AO, so it doesn’t reflect in the shadow. Not sure if you understand what I said 😂

[@k0walsk]

@@DamianMathew This is above my level mate haha. So far I just created a separate lighting setup for the shadow and put the images together in Photoshop. But you gave me an idea to try so thanks! Would love to see the strategy you described!

[@DamianMathew]

@@k0walsk I might actually make a quick video about it tbh, good idea

[@SMDINESHKUMARJS]

Sir can we import a car model in it which we already have in our systems .

[@RobertoECC]

Excellent, but the node window is too tiny, I can´t watch the node information. Do you have another alternative with Eevee?

[@briost123]

Awesome tutorial! I have a question when talking with clients if they do not have cad data for the product they want visualized, how do you explain so they understand why 1 product is more complicated then the other to modell and therefore will be more expensive. For example a pill bottle vs flashlight.

[@DamianMathew]

Interesting. What I sometimes show is a blender screenshot before is is rendered and a screenshot of the render. And explain that I need a 3D model for the render. If they can’t provide it, I tell them the price and just see. From experience the people that don’t have CAD, arnt a serious company anyways, so not the ideal client. The best clients I have ALL have cad files.

[@briost123]

@@DamianMathew Thank you! Yes this was a smaller client, I'm learning a lot from your videos especially the business side of it that's really a game changer right now when I'm trying out freelancing your videos are super inspiring
