I didn't know about the "Light Path" node, that's very helpful! And I imagine showing one HDRI normally and a different one through glass or another medium, can be a really cool effect to play with. Thanks!

[@rsher_digital-art]

Wow, what an "Illuminating" video! this was so helpful, thank you.

[@CGObaid]

So glad!

great work btw use ctr + b for crop viewport view it will speed up ur preview

[@CGObaid]

Thanks for the tip. I knew it but I then forget the hotkey to disable it 🤣

[@Anubis7169]

1:27 "Ctrl D" does nothing. I have wrangler addon. Bit of "Rest of the owl" here.

[@seanlowwei]

DUDE!!! I was stuck there too. I checked the Node Wrangler Hotkeys list. it is actually Ctrl + T haha

[@CGObaid]

Sorry, for the confusion. I said Ctrl T and not D, hehe 😅

[@Arthr0]

0:03 this is also realistic environment but for cloudy and rain coming environment

[@marcuskeil420]

My HDRI is super dark in the viewport and render scene. Any resolutions to this, i've tried everything, including turning up exposure, that doesn't really help. It's a daylight HDRI so it's a little strange!

[@marcuskeil420]

I think I resolved it, kind of.

[@CGObaid]

In the Viewport Rendering options in the upper right corner of the Viewport, make sure that Scene Lights and Scene world are checked on . Ok, how did you solve it?

[@dcry1003]

hi can i ask how come when using the hdri method theres no shadow being cast *just a little bit but not as much as when im using the sun lamp/light for shadow* how do i add shadow? for like mountains etc.

[@CGObaid]

You maybe using the Eevee render engine, unfortunately in eevee hdris can't cast shadows on objects. So you have to use Cycles.

[@Lysenkoal11]

Thank you, they explained very clearly how it works, the principle itself!

[@CGObaid]

Glad to hear 🤗!

what are your pc specs?

[@CGObaid]

Here are my computer specs - CPU - i5 9500k RAM - 8 gb GPU - GTX 1660 GPU RAM - 6 gb For more details you can read the description :)

[@EMNM66]

We’re you using cycles? How was it rendering so quick.

[@CGObaid]

Yes,I was using Cycles (with denoiser), but it was taking long to render so after recording the video I cut out the parts where it was taking long so the viewers don't get bored.

[@EMNM66]

@@CGObaid viewport rendering?

[@CGObaid]

Yes

[@OgreProgrammer]

Thanks for the video, and I learned some things about lighting. Since you are studying for realism, some light criticism on the models: the buildings are not realistic in some important ways. I grew up in an environment like that. Based on my great grandparents log house, and considering usability, put the door where the window is, though closer to the corner, the door opens inwards against the wall. Bring the roof line down on door side, or add an abutment. A shallower roof angle is okay, and the roof doesn't need to be equal sizes on both sides, and often wasn't because of how space was utilized. Make the building a bit wider. Put the window on the sunny wall, same height, centred on wall. They were outside during the day, they wanted light as long as possible on afternoons, it saved on lantern fuel. Keep the chair and deck where they are, it wouldn't be left in the way of the door anyway. 1. The scene would be a region that gets snow, and for that, the roof overhangs are not large enough, either on the eaves, nor the rakes/gable ends. 2. The window and door frames should either be slightly inset from the outside surface of the wall, and/or have more of a bar across the top to shed rain (and snow). Especially, the frame holes would be cut to the centerline of the logs, then framed in, and the window casing inserted into that, and glass panes installed in the casing. The idea of a nicely painted window frame is a correct touch, but the colour looks plastic-y, it is too uniform and bright for painted wood, almost seems self illuminating. The windows are the correct height from the ground, but too far from the roof overhang. 3. There no sign of a chimney or stove pipe, and that could be coincidental camera angle, but still, it is conspicuous in absence. 4. This is a tricky one: the logs are too uniform. But I think many people would make them too irregular if they tried. I say leave it, and if you recess the doors and window frame, that will be less obvious. 5. Very minor detail. For a one storey building, it seems a bit too tall, for a 1.5 story, it is too short. Definitely, the building is too narrow. Remember that it is easier to build wide with logs than taller because hand construction traditionally involves manipulating logs of hundreds of kilograms over one's head, and a really narrow building means cutting valuable straight and uniform logs short; extra cutting. Mixed building styles were/are possible, you don't need logs on the short end to have a log house, or up around the gables if you do. Put a square beam across the gable end where you change the log direction(and really, don't switch the log direction like that), or switch to lapped joint log corners and get rid of the corner posts.

[@CGObaid]

Glad you find it helpful & thanks for the suggestions ! My goal wasn't to make it as believable as it can but to demonstrate the purpose of lighting & also I've never been in an environment like that.

@@CGObaid when your cycles renders, the regular pixel noise seems to be rendered as "blurry" strokes

@@kurtrexrodt3938 it's the denoiser that is causing the blurry effects since there is so much noise to remove due to low sample count

Starting the video with stupid, time-wasting memes is not the right style to teach something. There is a time to joke, others to be serious. Either teach or be a joke make up your mind.
