[@thegraphicgangsta]

I never thought of using a gradient for lighting. Thank you for this tutorial.

[@WenboZhao]

Now you know it🤓 you’re so welcome mate

[@ОксанаЛитвинова-ы5м]

The best tutorial about lightning in blender I've ever seen!

[@WenboZhao]

Thank you mate🤓

[@JoelChapmanTheHumanist]

Brotha! I really love what you are doing here, I think its such a wonderful bridge from photography to CGI product photography. Keep up the good work!

[@WenboZhao]

Thank you brother 😎

[@lolololol7573]

This idea actually makes so much sense. I've used black and white boards traditionally in the studio too, but somehow I didn't think of it using it in blender. Thanks!

[@H53.]

One of the best tutorials about lighting I have seen. Keep the great work up!

[@WenboZhao]

Thank you 😊

[@stephansmokov4952]

Thanks a lot Wenbo! It's amazing to see how you bring photography knowledge to 3D. Cheers!

[@WenboZhao]

Thanks Stephan 🤓

0:00 Useful explanation behind the choice of Lighting used, based on material of product. + Why Area Light should be avoided. 6:05 Importance of setting up a wide backdrop 8:20 How to create 2nd lighting setup (E-commerce look) with reflective ground surface 11:25 3rd lighting setup with (Black) Flag P.S. I really like your tutorials! They are short, informative and very practical. Keep up the good work! I rewatched your video on how to deal with burnout when I felt like quitting and got motivated again!

[@yuzhenwang9764]

Thank you! I've been struggling with the default lights for so long, I am surprised it's that easy to fix the sharpness from the area light.

[@Albert_Riseal]

The bottle looks super cool

[@WenboZhao]

Thank you🥰

[@yana_psycho]

Very high quality content, thank you!

[@WenboZhao]

you are so welcome

[@raulgalets]

hey wenbo, nice trick I discovered recently. you can use a gradient texture with a color ramp on the emission shader instead of an image. gives you nice quick controls and you can even make radial or linear gradients on the fly

[@WenboZhao]

Sure thing bro, it works as well👍

[@vubuianh6253]

[@WenboZhao]

Thanks ☺️

[@CryptoNightshade]

Awesome tutorial, thank you super much for this. Here i am trying to light my objects with regular lights like a Donkey.

[@WenboZhao]

lol your are so welcome 🥰

[@mshawnlatham5459]

I am so new to Blender I was able to create my packaging and it finally looks correct. But I have no idea how you actually created the acrylic base, the emission background, the lights with a gradient.... Thats where I am currently. But the image looks amazingly well lit. Coming from a product studio you did very good. If you could explain how to create these simple things in Blender that would awesome. Thank you.

[@WenboZhao]

Welcome buddy, I think you are referring cosmetic modelling, I have a full pro course about modelling, please feel free to check it out or you can search cometic modelling in KZbin for some free tutorials to start with🥰 hope this helps

[@natniszakov_]

Amazing man! Thank you! 😊

[@tcheadriano]

Fantastic!!

[@Boipelo]

Amazing! Thank you!

[@WenboZhao]

you are so welcome😁

[@thedevil9442]

ooh... so instead of just light object, you use a gradient emissive plane for lighting? pretty cool. thanks for the insight

[@WenboZhao]

You’re welcome ☺️ it is a much softer light

[@tony02able]

Very informative tutorial. How you made this red black gradient liquid inside the bottle? Can you share this Tip? I'm new to Blender. Thanks Wenbo!!

[@hozannkotiet6561]

Thanks a lot

[@WenboZhao]

you’re welcome ☺️

[@berniaz_]

Hello, Wenbo, thank you for this kind of tutorial, i was curious how do you manage to have a transparent logo on the bottle? thank you

[@WenboZhao]

create a png file of your logo, then load in as an image texture, then connect color and alpha to the principles bsdf shader

[@derirus]

Thank you

[@WenboZhao]

You’re welcome ☺️

[@miencaphe9303]

I'm having trouble with how to set the light to produce a beautiful product. and how to place the camera...how can you place the camera with such a beautiful front view? Thank you.

[@jenniferrenson7405]

Thanks a lot🙏 Where do you find labels? Thx

[@WenboZhao]

You can create the label on your own, just find references images and similar typeface

[@Subliphoto]

@@WenboZhao Ok I'm creating my own. Thank you. Jennifer

[@irshadsait3814]

Thanks

[@WenboZhao]

You’re welcome ☺️

[@scartrow44]

Using this kind of light setup on reflective metal surface makes the black show in reflections, is there any way to remove that? I'm trying to make a light with one sharp side and one soft side to show in the reflections. Thanks for your efforts, nice to apply photography lighting to 3d.

[@WenboZhao]

you are so welcome😁

[@danielokay]

hi Zhao! Thanks for the great job here! can use that kind of gradient effect on the light area?

[@WenboZhao]

Yes you can

[@chrisharvey7461]

this is amazing ty, if you ever feel like doing anything on beer and wine wink wink nudge nudge

[@WenboZhao]

Lol gotcha

[@ThePureGrowth7810]

How do you create your own lights?

[@Arnaud___]

I would love a (paid) tutorial about how you designed this product, it looks fantastic !

[@WenboZhao]

Check out my course on Gumroad, you can find the link from the video description

[@Arnaud___]

@@WenboZhao i saw it but it seemed more focused on the wine bottle, will buy it anyway :)

[@WenboZhao]

You should be able to design similar products that have cylinder shapes

[@tearapartdottv]

@@WenboZhao What about all the logos/ branding and all the 2D graphic design elements on the products? Do you replicate from scratch or is there a trick where you pull everything off from a photograph or scan of the real thing etc? Thanks for the tutorial :)

[@egement9371]

I see nobody mentioned this but man what the hell is your gpu setup? that 1024 samples rendered in 2 sec :D

[@WenboZhao]

Lol 😂 my gpu is RTX 3080

[@PKVFX-vp7zf]

which graphics card you have? its rendering 1k samples so fast on both viewport.

[@dragstan]

Conteúdo precioso

[@WenboZhao]

thanks

[@Spexter92]

are u doing something special with the print? or its just a png on 3d object?

[@WenboZhao]

do you mean label？

[@robertogfontes]

in my project i can't create this light,here just don't work, i set to emission surface, but don´t work

[@WenboZhao]

Do you use cycles engine?

[@robertogfontes]

@@WenboZhao oh no, I found a tutorial about it, that was exactly it.

[@muniden]

Can i know your computer specs?

[@weijia7575]

支持！

[@WenboZhao]

谢谢

[@sidekick3rida]

Better to put the gradient on a real light. Using override materials to do a clay render won't work if you use a mesh as a light source, as one example.
