Your voice has so much suspense it really got me on the edge of my seat.

[@lukasthorup]

Thanks R B

[@bogscave]

The gradient background tip is too awesome 🤩 Beeest!

[@stasnikitin40]

Adobe: "Oh nice, great method.....let us update RS and kill it entirely"

[@halloo20halloo]

Thank you for the tutorial, I just wanted to mention and ensure that you can use "C4d Shader node" and connect it into the "RS Area light" by using "RS Texture node" between them, C4d Shader+ RSTexture+Arealight node I hope this would be useful,

[@Dreamdman]

Is there the same in redshift for houdini?

[@thanhly6828]

awesome, i just dafuggg when you talk about " trace depth overrides ". Thank you so muchhh 🔥🔥🔥

[@tiorimas]

Fantastic production quality as always Lukas!

[@nelsonrichard1465]

Lukas is amazing,thx for so cool features!

[@AsirisC]

Can't wait for the Houdini water drop tutorial! Keep 'em coming!

[@이경엽-o1s]

c4d 2025버전에서는 dome light 머터리얼이 바껴서 그라디언트맵 추가가 안되네요ㅜ

[@sanchezke70]

Thank you for this tutorial! I learned sooo much from it. Really has made a big difference in my lighting.

[@jubayerahmed5732]

This is just super awesome

[@wangchaoqian3245]

awesome work!

[@CIA-main-hub]

Godsent! Waiting for more houdini content

[@JCShannon]

Ahhh, so many good tips! Thanks!!

[@codyrubino5715]

Great tutorial. learned a bunch.

[@Double-Mjay]

Great trick. I just had a flashback to the time Ive done this before we had IPRs.^^

[@paweszymanek1097]

9:33 SOLVED PROBLEM: If you in newest version of C4D in the first glance you might not see shader graph. Just click button in upper place of box create>materials>c4d shader. EDIT it doesn't work either bc i should edit object (lighting) not color

[@VikasYadav-ng5qy]

Really nice tut 🥂

[@SWSZ87]

This is very good tutorial ❤

[@jayygado4711]

pretty dope. thank you man!

[@austinkeeper]

amazing tut. Thx a lot keep it up man!

[@ExpressoMechanicTV]

Fab - thanks for sharing!

[@jakejakejakejakejakejake]

Awesome work, dude! 👌

[@Usselino]

Cool! Thanks!

[@yohannesJas]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤This is amazing man!!!

[@ronnyt5914]

awesome work! i was thinking that there could be also some detail in the glasses, they are all white in your renders, or would that be unrealistic?

[@AcidManiak678]

Great technique. I wonder is there a way to do the same with Redshift in Houdini? Wouldn't be able to find a node editor for lights in there.

[@lukasthorup]

Yes you can do it with a cop network i believe ☺️

[@scartrow44]

Tried making this in Octane but it´s seems impossible. Made an hdri with a gradient but the shadows are getting too soft and grey. I set env color to black in Octane.

[@Heex2003]

I don t know how to do it in octane

[@InstansVisio]

Awesome! Do you ever use octane?

[@lukasthorup]

No I haven't used it for 1-2 years now

[@arqist]

I love your cozy background and the right amount of depth of field behind your face lol. What mm lens are you using?

[@lukasthorup]

I'm using a old vintage Pentax lens, adapted to my Lumix S5😉

[@creativenaki6387]

Very nice thank you

[@_Frank_23]

nice video! thank you so much

[@yohannesJas]

Brilliant

[@AdamBelis]

what are advanetes to using HDRI in a first ppace conpare to area Lights ?

[@lukasthorup]

I think it's the same, but for me it's a good starting point, where I can just rotate the hdri, to get the starting look, and then add on to it

[@AdamBelis]

@@lukasthorup ah i see i usaly go just fot arealights they seems easier to control . So was wondering if i am missing out on som fun :D

[@AdamBelis]

HDRI are whn i am feeling lazy and do not want artdirect light :D

[@lukasthorup]

The background hdri renders faster then a plane that's the only thing

[@GashiryItgo]

Great works :D

[@ak5258]

great tutorial but so hard to see the numbers. I have a 15 inch MacBook

[@voskobiinyk]

Lukas is amazing, thx for so cool features) Can you make a tutorial about reflections in animation, in still life it works well but when I turn a camera or object everything falls (

[@youragain]

I tried to follow along with v2025.1.1 and got completely lost... "c4d shader" is gone?

[@lukasthorup]

@youragain yeah, you have to use the UI for the shader or make a gradient texturein photoshop. that you can import into the light texture slot

[@youragain]

Thanks. Making it in photoshop seems like a lot of back & forth with trial & error. What do you mean make it with the UI? How? (I’m learning Redshift from scratch…)

[@zblack8329]

泰裤了 cool❤

[@photobackflip]

15:38 - "it's just trial and error" not if you actually know what you are doing. No need for trial and error if you understand the angles you are working with and how to bounce light. Making a tutorial video about how to guess is weird. I was hoping to learn something cool and new, but no. Just another young designer that seems to be more interested in appearing like a designer than being one. Spent all that money on a DSLR camera, lighting and microphone just to produce content where he is just guessing at what should be done.
