IES lights are engineering modelled light data and available from light manufacturers such as Philips, or OSRAM etc... also you can use the blend with the spot light to create a softer blend across the light falloff

[@immchez]

As a beginner, this is one of the most concise yet valuable videos on lighting Thank you so much

[@ryut]

Thanks for your tutorials, I love your channel😄Actually I am a professional photographer who started to learn Blender a few years ago, and I was alway feeling the lack of good lighting tutorials from most of KZbin Blender tutorial channels. I am really glad that you take the lighting very seriously at the professional photographer level. Please keep up! By the way, you've showed us that you used 2 Area Lights in the 5th example. I haven't tested that scenario in Blender yet, but if I do the actual photo shooting to replicate the scene, I would use only one super narrow and long soft box instead of 2, so if I do it in Blender I will start from the super narrow and super long Area Light (long side is Y axis) as the main light. At least only one light is used apparently in the original image you tried to replicate. Oh, another thing. In the first example, you called the main light "Ambient Light", but we photographers tend to call it "Key Light", and "Ambient Light' is more like the light from HDRI. Anyway, thanks for sharing your wisdom!

[@gumball1328]

Yes. If you like lighting and material tutorials you should also check out polyfjord.

[@Mocorn]

For people interested in IES light files you should also look into CRI values for lighting. CRI stands for colour rendering index and represents true colour values in light. Colour temperature is also important.

[@edh615]

CRI doesn't apply to RGB rendering.

[@WeakLaugh]

I think you mean Kelvin or CCT. Plug a blackbody node into the emission color to use the Kelvin value for the lamp color.

[@uncannyrover]

finally lighting makes sense than random explorations. i understand better what I'm doing now. thank you for this!!

[@AArmstrongC]

thanks for the tut and insights! tip: you can drag the yellow dot of the spotlight and the light will automatically rotate towards it! is faster than rotating it with double R

WE DEMAND TO SEE THE CAT

[@TheDucky3D]

I will show her soon!

[@papasalvo]

@@TheDucky3D OK I HOPE U HAVE A GOOD DAY AND UR LIFE IS FILLEE WITH FLOOF

[@harshilpujara_]

@@TheDucky3D Did you render your cat in evee or cycles ?

[@ropori_piipo]

I like the pace and simplicity of your tutorials, super helpful. I don't need extreme editing and memes, just good info and a regular pace.

[@rileyb3d]

Good stuff! Just wanted to let you know I see your materials EVERYWHERE these days. I've been doing some feedback sessions fixing up scenes and they're pretty popular.

[@TheDucky3D]

That awesome to hear man!!

[@hvrmnd]

Dude, you won't believe it but I was intending to try and learn more on lighting, and I opened YT, I see your video literally first on my feeds. Thank you very much, like always, clean, super straightforward, and smooth. Love your videos, learned A HECK LOT, and still am from your channel.

[@liceagadavid]

I loved the video lots of value on the tutorials, this should be a series of videos replicating trends in 3D design

[@TheDucky3D]

Oh that’s a great idea!!

[@Rengine_3D]

this is gold. must be one of the best lighting tutorials on youtube. thank you for making it! 😍

[@felipeleon6631]

Thank's man. this tuto made me realize that i can look at pictures and figure it out the light/techniques by myself

[@rusticagenerica]

Watching this 4x to finish it first as well.

[@taten_da]

Amazing tutorial, I keep coming back to it. Thank you.

[@salimmonder4175]

Lovely tutorial.. very educative as usual.... Thank you so much ❤❤

[@cobalt7990]

perfect it's the video I've been looking for months, thanks again for all your advice

[@bigfilsing]

Great video thanks. I think the IES needs more explanation that it is actually a lighting profile file, typically from real world light fixtures and manufacturers rather than " a light" Most light fixture manufacturers have an IES file available on their website along side the other technical data. Very useful if your designing an interior where lighting plays a key role

[@eknight2904]

very nice, thank you. I think finding the right balance with the contrast by shadow and color is the crucial (and hard) part.

[@ReaZaaa]

Great video, thank you :) Depending on the scenes colors, I'd desaturate or change the hue of the nishita sky texture to prevent color cast. e.g. if you have a yellow scene + the blue from the sky, you'll get a green'ish color cast.

[@snap8]

Very cool man, your delivery is very nice, I get creative ideas thanks to your content!

[@TheDucky3D]

I appreciate that

[@rsher_digital-art]

Great tutorial, I'm focusing on lights and IES lights are a great fine.

[@barteener2341]

These lighting tutorials are preaty awesome!

[@samdzn]

love this chill type videos! Any chance you can make the pintrest thread public for us?

[@kadeyray7222]

You sir r a hero!!

[@mattygorzynski9855]

Thanks for the tutorials! You are definitely my favorite blender artist on youtube. I was wondering if it would be possible to add new shaders to Realtime Materials which involve particles, such as a grass or fur material. I don't know if it's possible but that would be an awesome addition!

[@michaelyoseph6179]

A little roku gin and another amazing Ducky tutorial, and I'm having a great night. :) Thanks as always! Your content is inspiring and incredible!

[@jonjek1191]

Thank you very much, very good video. I wish there were more videos like this.

[@metalstaff]

Thanks! Just what i needed!

[@beeverone4740]

Thanks for sharing Ducky!!

[@redzone55]

Can you make a Blender animation tutorial similar to Epic Games 'Mega Sale 2022' colorful background theme using geometry nodes ?

[@ong3r1]

You can use textures in light nodes instead of using a plane with textures

[@jugibur2117]

Wow, this is great, thanks for sharing!

[@withvally]

Using an HDRI is a very smart technique while the scene is just focusing on just one key-light thanks for the video Buddy

[@zelfzack9432]

3:49 u can use Shift+T to point the light

[@maryoriski2013]

this is what i want, thank you !!

[@sagarpandita371]

really helpful content just wanted to appreciate your skills

[@IvanFlack]

A very interesting and useful tutorial...thanks! Still enjoying your Materials Pack...awesome!

[@okdo5144]

Exactly what i needed, but there are so few and old tutorials to how to light metallic/chrome items, like jewelry... i know its way harder since they are essentially mirrors

[@pepelapew4534]

Thanks for the great tutorial (really helpful👍🏻)

[@cashtonbriggs2135]

Awesome video. I really need to start experimenting with my lighting. On a side note, Realtime Mats is amazing. Big fan of the hex mats. Also, never disturb a cat while it's eating. They know where you live😧😁.

[@dunno123ify]

Thanks Bro, much needed :)

[@nezih3057]

simple and useful video, thanks

[@danialsoozani]

@Ducky 3D: thanks a lot for the great vid! IDK if that works in blender or not, i used to use a texture in the light intensity in 3ds max years ago to get the leaves effect on light u showed us. i must give it a try because i saw a node button beside it.

[@josephayala3829]

can you plz make a tutorial on how you made the concrete shapes ...i love the squishy look!

[@C0D3X_LIVE]

Again a very useful tutorial ! Have you the idea to make tutorial to realize the first scene you show on the video ?

[@ixtlahuacr]

how do you do that material interact like cloth and another hard surface,? any tutorial about.?

[@MayKayy]

Amazing! Thank you so much for this tutorial!!

[@jiwonhong4273]

thank you.

[@CyberRings-NEET]

you're amazing mate

[@guitarmetal1]

Nice tutorial! Also, thanks for the 25% off coupon for your addon!

[@casperbiemans558]

Really love this kind of tutorial. This light setup is so satisfying. If I may ask, what kind of values did you used for the Peter Tarka version of the light setup for spot, area and point light? And I was wondering what kind of material is added to the background?

[@designbystars]

amazing! thanks

[@PoSideConvoChannel]

hi! I wanna know why we can see more details in the shadow than in the light in example3 where you referred to peter tarka?

[@reddsmith752]

Such a good video. Can’t wait to try the first one especially. I’m looking to buy your material collection. Is it a one off payment? Or is it an annual subscription?

[@AliAbbas-vr6cf]

I like all channels and subscriber so nice sir

[@Orangenotfresh]

Amazing contents!

[@itsrabar]

Great one, go on

[@elenjoy4458]

Hi sir I'm a big fan of you. Can you make a tutorial on how to use scatter for landscape design

How does one enable light nodes in 3.1? When I open the Shading editor with light selected, the editor is empty.

[@Honziko8]

switch to cycles

[@julenasencor]

Can you publish your Pinterest board 🙏

[@4.0.4]

What's going on with the shadow of the cylinder (e.g. at 11:40)? It looks spotty.

[@seandunderdale]

I think perhaps rather than using an IES light, they may have plugged an hdr photo of caustics as a texture, into a light to get that pattern.

[@PrilaRis]

thank you for the tutorial. I can't seem to find Beam Shape in my Area light (3.4 Blender). Is there any properties i should turn on first?

[@DUSMIC]

hey i got the realtime material and it is nothing but amazing, I use it a lot and it helps a lot, it sped up my workflow, and now I'm finally doing cool things in blender, but it still lacks some materials, here's some, you can put in the next update, : planked wood, wood but more gray, metal with edge rust or scratch ( the metal has a lighter color on edges to simulate scratches ), scratched paint, grass, ivory, clean metal, that's it , hope you can make them, thanks

[@TheDucky3D]

Thank you! We just started talking about wood materials so you should see some soon!

[@jagmagja]

Please tell me how to make the shadows of the plants in the video transparent.

OK I've been really trying to find content on lighting and have a question how do u pick which HDRI u want to use? Like what's the criteria when you're making this decision

[@mathiasfragoso2791]

Try different hdris until you found one that match with what you wanted

[@rendericeib4513]

are u viewporting with Nvidia optix denoiser?

[@Spexter92]

Hey sir, I want to make my request for a video tutorial :P I'm struggling with Dust Particles, I just want to add some dust to my black box, so they will interact with the light coming throw the window... I hope my comment make sense, and if you help me I will send all the love throw the comment section.

For the first setup, I’m guessing U meant spot light and not point.

[@klaatu-barada-nikto]

Which microphone were you using for this video? I can hear every little tick your mouth makes LOL.

[@neocuber7733]

6:36 is it just me or does that look like a spider's web or hair stuck near the lighting area?

[@abtix]

At 11:40, I couldnt find anyone with the name "Peter Tarkov", unless I completely misheard the last name hehe. Would you be able to give me his name please?

What I don't understand is this: Don't you realize that you are distracting yourself by putting your own image? All that time is wasted and not watched.

[@Lavonne1]

Good tips but extremely long winded

Sometimes it needs to be in order to be clear
