KeyShot Lighting Study: Combined HDRI and Area lights

[@uy8285]

Best tutorial changed look of renders drastically

[@shoebkhan4166]

This is such a neat trick. Just started watching your channel a fewdays back and man it surely is now my go to place for keyshot!! Thanks a Ton!!

[@deano4906]

Your tutorials are the best best best!

[@mbpadro]

Thanks for your videos. Really well explained and straightforward. Quality content :)

[@adventureskulldraws]

Fantastic. I have been doing it wrong all along! Relying too much on HDRI and pin lights to achieve what i could have done with my own physical area lights. Thanks for the great video!

[@esbenoxholm]

Wouldn't say that any approach is wrong. There's pro's and con's with everything.

[@brgpus]

Great tricks for achieving photorealism through the lighting here. Once again, thanks Esben!

[@陳國強-w1l]

I really glad that you share all your know-how and it is very helpful to my final year project!Once again, thank you very much!

[@timlim9678]

Thanks man, it is the best know-how about keyshot I have ever seen

[@DetroitVinylRob]

Thanks Esben. Another very well done tutorial. I have been going down much the same path with outdoor HDRI and area/pin lighting for our transportation lighting designs. We (NAL/Koito) do automotive forward and signal lighting. Illuminating inner product detail through, sometimes multiple clear lenses while keeping ambient (wash light) glare to a minimum is still a bit of a trick.

[@FeelsGoodMan]

I'm an ultra newb. How can I move the default light source? I want it lighting up the underside of the object instead of from above.

[@JonasRekowskyPage]

Man, you are amazing!!

[@eliaspuolakka290]

I'm total beginner I don't have the lighting option in the right only scene material env. camera and settings any idea what could be causing that?

[@NoName-tc1mn]

Thanks a lot man. Your videos are great!

[@MartinWahlberg]

Thanks Esben. Good as always.

[@Jiindo_]

Awesome! your video tutorial has been very helpful. I would be interested learning to animate properly in Keyshot.

[@neutronher3908]

Thanks, this was a very helpful tutorial! :)

[@esbenoxholm]

Glad to hear so!

[@sergeybob3224]

Thanks ! Awesome tutorial !

Thanks to your video, I discovered a new way to use Fill Light, thanks Esben!

[@paintingtutorials2d3dprodu22]

Good work 🤩

[@SuperSebas22]

Hi Esben, great video and technique. I am trying to apply the steps you explain in the video to one of my renderings, but when I get to the area light step I am not getting as much of a dramatic effect from the lit plane. Increasing the lumens does not change the lighting intensity much and the object stays relatively dark. What could I be doing wrong? Thank you for your help

[@esbenoxholm]

Have you tried increasing the light intensity by a factor of 10 or 100?

[@ArdiUtamaIDWGD]

Best Tutorial,

[@LinYu-888]

The material of your files is very good. What material is yellow? How to set it?

[@sahilmujawar3]

Can u make a tutorial on that chair lighting with effects which look like chair in a dusty old room.

[@Knuckledusterify]

another great video. great like you are..

[@Vikadar]

This looks really good! Thanks Where is the paper background from? I've been looking for something like that for a long time and only find some that are way too wrinkled.

[@ajaysavita4647]

Really nice

[@Haruyuki_Art]

awesome very helpful thank you :)

[@gianmariatasciotti]

Thanks for your fantastic videos, which texture are you chose for the floor bump?

[@williamchen8009]

Hi Esben Oxholm, could you please make a video about creating gun metal texture?

[@esbenoxholm]

Hi William. Do you have any reference images of the exact look you are going for?

What texture/material is the ground plane? Cheers

[@Gokhan_B]

Awesome tutorial, thanks for share, take care.

[@kishengohil3153]

Hi Esben, Thanks for your tutorial. Can I ask what are the specification on your system? I have a Dell workstation laptop M3800, but seems to grind with complex work. Would be nice to guide to a new system. Thanks

[@rexmisfit509]

im so confused why does your 8.1 look different than mine? in the environment i only have 2 overlapping globes and a trash can. my top thick menu also ends at perspective, nothing after that including geometry view. I hope you can help thanks.

[@esbenoxholm]

Hi Tyler. Could it be that you don't have the Pro Version of KeyShots? That's what I'm using.

[@azazel2490]

Esben, once in some CGI website I 've read an artictle where you ve'been named " Lighting Render Monster" so therefore i'd like to inquire into, generally, so called rim light, very sophisticated and refined matter, to give examples like Georges de La Tour,Caravaggio, Rembrandt .

[@Armagancn]

thank you so much. could you pls be able to make video about volume effect ?

[@esbenoxholm]

Yup, good suggestion. Thanks.

[@HOKABOBO]

The plane never light up in my keyshot. Why

[@phamhuy1710]

Me too. Did u solve that?

[@fufu4367]

@@phamhuy1710 try increase the Lumen Power to a very long value... like 500000.. it is a scale issue. And you can change lumen to watt power instead.

[@phamhuy1710]

Thanks for your help. I found it out right after made that comment ahaha XD

[@dantinhobellini]

Hello friend!!......Can you do a video talking about the light scheme used on "chair scene" that appears in the beginning of this on?!

[@yudianyuan3353]

it's awesome! thank you so much!! I've always had trouble in lightning, your video offers so many great techniques! Thanks. Btw, it would be great if you could also do a tutorial of how you render the third image that you showed at the beginning of the video :)

[@sahilmujawar3]

I would like it too

[@Dreamdimension7]

thanks buddy..greetings from Nepal!!

[@hiteshkumarsuthar4371]

how to add paper material? I don't have a paper texture in my material

[@ricr8987]

Thank you, help me a lot, I was struggling to achieve the results I wanted, I was setting up my light with a pin in the HDRI editor... Could you please explain to me the difference between using this method and the pin in the HDRI editor?

[@esbenoxholm]

Hi, take a look at this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3a6oKiipJd7a7c

This is fantastic! Can you share what lighting mode you used for this rendering? Product or Indoor mode... Thanks.

Amazing tip, I'm just starting out on keyshot, I wanna make materials look realistic but man am I bad at using the graphic for materials hahahaha

Great as always!!! I'm wondering what monitor you are using... A 1440p or 4K?

Thanks. I'm using a EIZO ColorEdge 27, so 1440p.

@@esbenoxholm Wow, looks like God of professional monitors!!! I'm jealous AF 😅

[@esbenoxholm]

@@vikisk.3d Ha, yeah. But it's one of their cheap models. Would love to have one of their 4k monitors someday.

[@vikisk.3d]

@@esbenoxholm What about something super-ultrawide? Or a 5K 2K?

[@esbenoxholm]

Haven't thought about it. At the moment I'm quite happy with the setup. Having one ultra-wide screen instead of two, would be nice though. I guess I'll wait and see what the market looks like once I need a new monitor. I suspect that a lot of things will happen meanwhile technology-wise.

[@MAMotinSobujsobuj23]

Thank you sir..........

[@feanorcurufinwe702]

Amazing tips mate, thank you very much but my Nvidia GeForce GTX 965 M literelly can do nothing. It's completely useless and powerless against KeyShot 8.1 pro. I'm having 3 second delays for every move i make. They say KeyShot is based on CPU power but i don't think so, GPU must have something to do with it.

I'd be very surprised if someone could make a bad render with keyshot, it would be really tricky to achieve. I find it hard to believe anyone would need a tutorial to use it, but some people & computers just dont mix.
