Sorry to write this but you forgot to talk about why (!) we light this way; and that is to give depth to a object represented on a flat surface. By lighting with a 45* angle it's easier to understand the object shape. Fill light help removing some shadow so it's not to dark, and rim light separate the objects form the its background.

Thanks a lot for a cool technique, I feel, I've improved my lighting workflow, at past it was like a mess with a lot of lights and not so good results

Hey Lukas, Quick question for you. Do you model this garment using marvelous designer? Or did you find it online?

[@lukasthorup]

I bought the garment online

[@sydvaughn.c4d]

@@lukasthorup Awesome! Where’s the best place to grab garments like this?

[@mugenpuchi9739]

hi, i want to to the same thing but with octane and i can"t because the light is always spread but i really want like this line of light on my object, any advices ? thank you

[@lukasthorup]

In octane you need to use the distribution texture slot. But it can be a little difficult to control

[@mugenpuchi9739]

@@lukasthorup thank you very much i will try it !

[@pixelasm]

26:18 did you use SSS or translucency for the material?! If so do you use it a lot aside of typical applications like fluids and foliage?

[@lukasthorup]

Nicely spotted. I usually use SSS on things that in the real work have transmission properties. So if you shine a bright light onto the jacket in real life, you can see the light is slightly coming through. So I just exaggerated it in 3D.

@@lukasthorup thanks for the insight. Yes it makes total sense to take a close look at the real world in order to catch all the details. I just did not expect that material to have such properties :)
