Lighting Fundamentals: Master One Light in Blender

[@bbitirim]

I have been into 3D for 10 years and watching tutorials, even paid courses, yet first time in my life I have the best understanding of how lights work in real world and 3D. Please keep up the great work!

[@WenboZhao]

Wow, thanks million! this is so encouraging mate🥰

[@bbitirim]

@@WenboZhao No, sir. Thank you!

[@yaoyaosam]

Totally agree.

[@Rudse]

Totally agree!!!! ❤️

[@RioNewss]

Tutorials show how to do a particular stuff. But real talent evolves when we start making new things after learning from those tutorials 😊.

[@landvisual]

This is an absolutely priceless tutorial. Multiple times here you had me inspired, especially as someone who has moved from cameras into Blender. It’s so much fun playing around with these. I was using regular lights a lot so Emission planes will be a new ones to try.

[@naturesoundsaustralia]

This was a really XLNT video…. Great teaching!! Have learnt a lot and have come at a right time as i am trying to light a perfume bottle. Have had terrible time not getting the results i am looking for. Also live in Sydney.

[@tekyfilms]

Every 3D artist must watch this video.

[@dannagabrielagallegolara5189]

Caballero, me da duro el idioma, gracias por tu video. ya llegaste con alguien de habla hispana

[@sir.Geronis]

Wow. This is really the only KZbin video that talks a lot about lighting a scene in 3D. Thank you for the study!

[@quentingo8184]

It's exactly what I needed, a clean explanation of real lighting translated into Blender. Thanks!

[@trucodroiidyt7460]

really really thanks for this amazing video

[@ua_visuals]

Honestly, it's very difficult to find tutorials of this quality. Thank you so much.

[@WenboZhao]

Thank you 🥰

[@fsalad]

Fundamentals..❤️❤️❤️ currently I am reading the book Light for Visual artists and this wil be a great addition to it :D

[@WenboZhao]

👏 yes make sure you understand it！ light is a magical thing

[@11nephilim]

Planning to light & render some props for a competition piece soon and this was exactly what I needed! Thank you!

[@WenboZhao]

This is literally the best tutorial on 3D lighting I've ever seen. Love your content. (Subscribed) 🥰

[@WenboZhao]

Thanks a lot bro 😎

[@sifu2u_now]

Once again...another fantastic tutorial. Thanks again for this. I don't do 3D and only getting started on blender as a hobby, this is very educational and interesting.

[@WenboZhao]

Thanks buddy, welcome to Blender community 🥰

[@jamilgotcher365]

Very thorough tutorial! Really enjoyed this, I'm a pro photographer and love that you have a photography background and are able to use that valuable experience to teach CGI.

[@WenboZhao]

Thank you for the peer review for a pro photographer 🤣

[@thecrazyartist6003]

Today morning I just saw this video in my mobile before a job interview and I applied this in job test for the 1st time and they were feeling crazy from the results.... Thanks for teaching us 😁😊

[@erolskiy]

Thank you so much for combining knowledge between these real and digital world, but for beginners in 3d I want to mention that using such "diffusors" in 3d will cause a lot of secondary noise

[@WenboZhao]

What do you mean by secondary noise?

[@icathiel]

youre doing gods work dude, hugs from brazil

[@WenboZhao]

thanks a lot mate 🥰

[@iiis27]

[@jiwonhong4273]

Thank you so much. I always search several KZbin videos if there's a problem I don't know, and to my surprise, the answer was on the Wenbo Zhao channel. Thank you.

[@beerusdestroyer4302]

If you have any problem regarding lighting come to this channel🎉🎉

[@sebrij]

watching this video and him explaining everything i do to light my renders and immediately saying "don't do this it's wrong" has been pretty hilarious so far

[@WenboZhao]

Hahaha 🤣

[@kel_]

super niceee

[@WenboZhao]

Thanks 😊

[@rajhaldua7061]

best video about lighting on youtube in blender , Thanks @Wenbo

[@nathitappan]

This video is outstanding! Thanks for taking the time to make it

[@kiddospagaragan9149]

my jaw dropped twice and my mind blown at least once each chapter. Thanks for this amazing tutorial!

[@berndfachinger6000]

In Blender, you can even subtract lights with NEGATIVE strengths. This is a lot of fun :)

[@mirellitereza3951]

I love it! Thank you!♥♥♥

[@WenboZhao]

You’re welcome ☺️

[@amai4924]

[@WenboZhao]

Lol 😂 sorry my poor English

[@pr0ton3d]

This is a masterclass from the master itself! Thank you so much Wenbo 🙏🏻.

[@WenboZhao]

Thanks a lot bro 😎

[@zahreddinesoualem3213]

I really appreciate your efforts to teach others, anyways I have question, the part where you discussed the purpose of the light, the key light was 6000w and the fill light was 2000w, that means your object is so big, and I remember very well that I heard many times that the objects must be in real size not too big not to small just real life size, in this case the light values is going to be smaller and we can adjust it easily.

[@zahreddinesoualem3213]

I am really waiting for your response sir.

[@komputer7566]

god bless your sweet soul

[@WenboZhao]

thank you so much

[@bentheultimatelegend]

Wow what a great tutorial, what I would try to achieve by adding 2-3 lights and randomly moving and rotating them, I found out can be created with a single light and a few planes. Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial!

[@satyamanu2211]

Commenting, so that the algorithm understands this is absolutely brilliant

[@WenboZhao]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@ua_visuals]

Trick: you can use negative power in lights to absorb light like -500W

[@WenboZhao]

Thanks mate, it only works in CG world tho

[@TiredCommentary99]

Thank you for this video, i want to start doing product viz with blender.

[@WenboZhao]

Go for it💪

[@octolocus5412]

amazing video, but if you will make it into parts and put on TikTok it would be better for you

[@WenboZhao]

Thanks buddy, tried and failed lol 😂

[@valdicaster]

Awsome class Wenbo.. i agree complete with what you said in the beginning.. it is so hard to find more professional explanations about how things happen, and how to apply it.. all is about do this and do that, with less understanding about what is going on.. So BIG THANKS to you and congratulations for this material you share.. cheers !!

[@kumarbrown6804]

Hi, when is your texturing course coming out and what will be taught in this course..

[@WenboZhao]

Aiming the end of July🤓👍 I am currently recording it 😎 stay tuned

[@brighttendaimuvirimi1905]

Thanks for the great tutorial, it helped me a lot, here is my Subscription.

[@WenboZhao]

Thanks for the kind words, I am taking the sub now lol 😂

[@rev-you1975]

Excellent tutorial. Really enjoyed this. What are your thoughts on loading a gradient in to an alpha channel on your material applied to your polygon (plane) light source rather than shooting a seperate light through a gradient plane? I understand mimicking photography but wanted your views, pros and cons. For product visualisation I always use luminance with a gradient alpha so only 1 element to move (for speed).

[@carlomdlf]

i love that you're taking the real world into consideration, so many times have i felt insecure of lighting setups because i thought they were unrealistic and you just helped me get rid of those insecurities

[@WenboZhao]

you are so welcome😁

[@Ozuseka]

Best video for light i seen

I can’t tell you how helpful your videos have been for me today. Your absolutely awesome. Thank you.

[@WenboZhao]

You’re so welcome 😉

[@nachito108]

I just found your video, really great insights! Would you know if your method is more or less computationally expensive than using multiple lights vs just one? Have you noticed faster or slower render times?

[@rai3877]

Thank you very much, sir! This was amazingly helpful and motivated me to keep grinding with a challenging project. 😯❤

[@CristinaDirnea]

So well structured and explained, congrats and thank you so much!

[@montagetech-cj7qh]

honestly the video is the best but i cant have such light because it can only be achieved using cycles and am using low end pc with intel graphics card

[@tyalcin]

Bravissimo, great content.

[@overholted]

Is there a way to use invisible lights and reflectors in gltf exports? When I turn off camera in Ray Visibility it still shows in my gltf.

[@denizkudayar6206]

hello Wenbo, and thx for your tutorials. For some reason, in my case, Suzanne money's shadow is not that dark, as it's in your case at 21:00 Can you explain what could be the reason? I have played with the distance of light, its size, and its power, etc, but the shades are still not as dark as in your case...I also made the world completely dark, but that doesn't help as well I then put some negative light and only then did the shadow become dark, like in your case at 21:00. So my question is did you use negative light?

[@WenboZhao]

Check your color management, I use filmic log with very high contrast color filter

[@gregoryelms9936]

I could have watched another 55 minutes and 57 seconds of that tutorial. One of the best iv seen That was done really well

[@DanielJames-Darktide]

Thanks so much for this tutorial. This is probably the most comprehensive tutorial I have watched on lighting. Very simple and in detail, but with professional results.

[@farrasaris5394]

For Gradient texture light, you only need Color Ramp, no need photoshop. Fuiyooo!!! this tutorial is great, but the Gradient Light make my feet down. Oh EDIT! make in photoshop is the most accesible and easy way for most people. Thank you for your tutorial.
