How to do Outdoor Lighting inside Blender 2.8 using EEVEE

[@yanmoenaing71]

the kind of tutorial i have been looking for is this. Every time i have done with my material, the problem i always face is lighting. Now I think this problem has been solved just after i have watched your tutorial. Thank you.

[@SaqibHussain88]

Glad it solved your problem . You're welcome bro.

[@blendershots]

this is the best lighting tutorial for blender

[@SaqibHussain88]

Glad to hear that! thank you

[@brunocastro4558]

Excellent tutorial ! Simple and precise. It's just the better Outdoor Lighting one I've seen for EEVEE. Amazing job ! Thank's a lot !!

9:59 The proper way to adjust the softness of shadows cast by a light source is to adjust the size of the light source. For a Sun light, which is (in effect) infinitely far away, this is given as an angle (shown as “Radius” in your Blender version, “Angle” in 2.83). For strict accuracy this should be about 0.5°, but larger values produce softer shadows, which I like.

4:14 I was wondering when you were going to turn on AO. Up until that point, the Eevee render looked a bit flat for my taste.

[@lilyounggamer]

was the scene using gpu video memory or ram memory?

[@SaqibHussain88]

I think my Pc specs were lower as compared to the one that I am using right now.

[@stephanszitha370]

I haven't downloaded evve yet, sorry to ask, but does it come with a few default hdr's? And, did he just box a whole hdr in a sphere? Woah

[@SaqibHussain88]

blender 2.8 beta already comes with some HDRS in the developers mode. I have my own library of Hdrs which i have downloaded from some sites that were free .

[@BobbyJ529]

If you were going to show the inside of the house would you turn off the sun? I always get weird artifacts on the inside of buildings with the sun light. Adjusting thickness of solidify on geometry doesn't always work for some reasons...

[@SaqibHussain88]

You can change lighting scenario for different scene as you can cut the scenes down while video editing.

[@RyanSael]

Hi Saqib, Great tutorial! Was just thinking it might be better to give a subtle background music on your video just to fill the space when you do stops and become quiet. Nevertheless, I like the clarity and how you explain each steps. Thanks for that!

[@SaqibHussain88]

I will try to fill the gaps in my near future videos thanks for the feedback.

[@MartinStacey]

Hi thanks for the tutorial! It looks awesome, so wanted to ask, you finish a render in eevee, is it possible to export this to any format that would allow costumer to view and play around render?

[@SaqibHussain88]

Not sure about that. You will need to share the project file with him if he know blender . Other then that there is an option to share your model with clients by using 3d Verge software where you can upload your model online and then preview and interact with the model like changing the material or model etc.You can share that model with any one.

[@aaronsmithey5806]

Thanks for the tutorial. When I add a sun lamp I am getting zero effect. No light and no shadows. Any idea why this would happen. Thanks..

[@SaqibHussain88]

make sure you set the direction towards the model and position of the sun lamp above and aside to the model.

[@andreytrukhachev7417]

Thanx, it was good. Please add more archviz tuts on eevee👍

[@SaqibHussain88]

sure, i will try.

[@mosog8829]

Is that an add-on that you used to preview the HDR?

[@SaqibHussain88]

nope its not a plugin its a feature that is already present in blender 2.8 beta.

[@lawrencedoliveiro9104]

7:28 The icon for the Irradiance object data tab is different in 2.83.

[@jesusredondo513]

Thanks for these tuts, really thanks for not going for the modelation part of blender which is over saturated. This kind of stuff is what is really interesting.

[@SaqibHussain88]

you're welcome.

[@johnmanuntag8546]

But perhaps include some architecture exterior modeling. I'm considering switching from sketchup to full blender work flow with eevee but cant find the best work flow for modeling architecture. Real time rendering with eevee is great for designing architecture as it gives instant feedback while changing your design. But i find modeling architecture in blender a bit hard compared to sketchup. Maybe if you could share ideas on how to have better work flow in blender when doing architecture. Thanks!

Thanks , You need to export it to blender try (3ds, Collada ,Obj ) these formats to import your assets to blender, try them out then you can use blender to render your architecture . You can download blender 2.8 from this link:- www.blender.org/download/

Thanks for the tutorial. When I try to bake indirect lighting Blender 2.8 crashes. Any suggestion? I’m using AMD RX570

Saqib Hussain Thanks for the response. I’m using latest 2.8 build released on 15-04-2019. And Volumetrics is also not working correctly.

[@cr0uchingtiger]

very useful. I didn't realize it was so complicated to do outdoor scenes in Eevee. Is there really no way to hide the HDRI other than to make a big sphere? that feels a bit out-dated :/

[@SaqibHussain88]

Thanks , this method is still used for games its not that outdated . You can add more to it by adding cloud thru the particles or may be you can create maps for cloud that can be controlled with its node material.

[@cr0uchingtiger]

@@SaqibHussain88 it's outdated for 3d modelling and rendering software. Since HDRIs have been around you've had the option to not see them because often, while they provide great lighting/reflections, they look awful as a background. Blender isn't a game engine.

[@SaqibHussain88]

@@cr0uchingtiger 3d modelling and rendering are still updating themself to make them real time like gaming engines wonder why every one talks about real time cause its the future for rendering stuff. If you think like that then you will feel that ray tracing is outdated , but now 3d industry is trying to make a rendering engine which will include both raytrace and realtime . Not only blender many other 3d softwares are trying to create realtime rendering and are trying to achieve real results with it . Second blender can become a game engine search Blender UPBGE .

irradiance volume creates artifacts in the shadows, damaged shadows or stains on the surfaces

It depends on how you use it .

[@Pulse2AM]

I'm having problems with a flat wall and flickering when the camera rotates, the wall surface flickers. I rendered at 720p and it was fine then when I rendered at 1080p I got flickering. Is it A: Cubemap size, B: Light Probe or C: Samples? Or none of the above? Any help appreciated! Samples = 64 Cubemap = 2048

[@SaqibHussain88]

It will be great if you provide a pic for that but I think it only happens when two plane meshes are overlapping each other that's why you will see the flickering effect . To get rid of that you will need to change the position of one of the wall slightly inward or outward of the wall so that they don't overlap. If it does not work then do share a picture . All of the above options you have mentioned they have nothing to do with it .

[@Pulse2AM]

@@SaqibHussain88 Thanks! I know what kind of flicker you're talking about it's not that kind. I can't post a pic but it shows up as a slight color shift between frames in the animation, both as the camera moves and also when it's static. As I said not in the 720p only in the 1080p animation renders. It is a Sketchup model which has two meshes back to back.

I only had 3 diffuse bounces, I upped it to 10 and I'm trying another test.

@@SaqibHussain88 I replaced the mesh face with one generated in Blender, we'll see if that fixes it.

[@lawrencedoliveiro9104]

10:05 I don’t see any shadow-clipping settings in 2.83. Seems they have done away with them?

[@SaqibHussain88]

You just need to increase max distance to increase the shadow distance . Yeah they have removed the shadow clipping options.

[@robertzaku9110]

Amazing but, Irradiance volumes are mostly used for indoor environments. EEVEE is capable of rendering realistic global illumination in outdoor environments, so the irradiance volumes aren't needed for it. Just use a 32-bit HDRI in Environment Texture Node and the outdoor lighting is physically-correct. Besides that, Irradiance Volumes are limited to 64 in EEVEE in a scene. So this is not suitable for big scenes like a city or something else. Also for better interactive viewport rendering in EEVEE, toggle the camera view and activate Depth of Field (Viewport View doesn't support Depth of Field). Anyway nice work!

[@SaqibHussain88]

If you don't use irradiance volume in your scene blender will not calculate the indirect light so you can not get the indirect light only by just using HDR . You must need an irradiance volume in your scene to calculate the indirect bounce light .

[@pony-feronchik]

Can I lighting any model so?

[@SaqibHussain88]

yes, you can try it out if you want sunny day lighting scenario.
