Volumetric Lighting in Blender

[@cac9131]

For the people who are in the latest version in blender, use principled volume.

[@SuperIceteapeach]

i use volume scattering or so, is that wrong?

[@cac9131]

@@SuperIceteapeach volume scattering isn't bad, the best explanation would be that its basically borderless without being a material. I would use it for foggy outdoor scenes like a forrest or a night scene

[@Villager_U]

@@SuperIceteapeach late reply but, principled volume have more option than volume scatter

[@veggiet2009]

oooh I wish you had done the dust in blender and not in post. It's been something I've been curious about doing, creating realistic floating dust in blender.

[@xmrdee]

particle system ( tiny dots made from plane , emission shader ) with some tweaks

[@onisanya7975]

or it could be better with subsurf?

[@Trolleyfox]

veggiet2009 how do you even do the dust

[@coows]

@@Trolleyfox You can try using the particle modifier and make a dust particle that will get spread.

[@masterxeon1001]

i have seen the light.

[@VigneshNatarajanR]

Imagine one of your machines(with a lit-up Hard Ops or Box Cutter logo) in volumetric light. Now that would be cool.

Gleb and Blender Guru, two best (IMHO) blender tutorial creators on KZbin, or even in entire internet. :D

[@FrancescoPaggiaro]

This video is a rare gold, thanks for all these tricks

[@TheSoundChronicles]

Having a look back at these tutorials I usually say "Ahhh... How awesome is this nostalgia"

[@Vipelez]

Great tutorial, Gleb. Thank you very much for the amazing balance between brevity and content, with different values results compared on screen. And for promoting Open Source software!

[@amadhia]

As one who used-to write How-To books on CGI... _great_ tutorial! Exceptionally well thought-out and produced! Well done!!!

[@fullyleaded]

Why did you stop writing them?

[@amadhia]

Many reasons big and small, but I suppose mostly my interests and passions led me elsewhere.

I love your videos, Gleb, and the energetic, playful and fun way you present them. I look forward to every upload! Thank you for doing what you do :)

Great tutorial Gleb! There's some super useful stuff in here. Definitely going to be using this (and caffeine) for my next project!

[@daniel4647]

Thanks a lot, helped me work out the volumetrics settings a little more, had been messing with them for days and they just wouldn't behave, those render settings were really usefull

I really love ur work. It gives me a strong feeling whenever I watch the render.

[@threedslider]

it helps how to make this better, good sharing.

[@nadimaffani5010]

Really, this is an unbelievably good tutorial. Keep up the good work! :)

[@collectiflickthetoad]

To reduce noise in volumetric light i render in separate layer and then compositing separately appling some de-noise/blur directly in blender compositor or in post.(Z-depth pass if needed) In case i use smoke as a volume for volume light in animation i tend to use volumetric light with blender internal(render is much faster) and mix with rest of the scene cycle render in compositing using Z depth pass. In case i need real color of the volumetric light according with cycle scene set up, i set very low res volume light in cycle and i color the blender internal layer with it and then mix all together with the final scene. BTW nice and sharp tutorial like always!

[@crea2000]

Great job and a lot of help in rendering! Thank you!

[@supermanmtp7738]

thank Alex

[@TheKBrosTech]

⚠️Quick Tip: Use the new Intel Denoiser in Blender 2.81+ for a much better way of getting rid of those annoying "fireflies" in your image. It's freaking magic and works better than the old blender Denoiser. Just check "Denoising data" in the passes, and add a Denoise node in the compositor and connect the appropriate parts. Boom. Better images with less samples and very little loss in quality.

[@thesmartninja8235]

Great, informative video as always !

[@eviltwin2322]

Wow, I love the image at 0:44!

[@blueinversion]

Great look into volumetrics. The GIMP plugin was a great boost for me. Blender has evolved so much over a very little span of time. Nice tutorial, keep it up! -S

[@emilherzenstiel6682]

So funny reading this right now :D

[@esarchiart]

Thanks Gleb!

[@adhidana5262]

bruh, you save my life, thanks alot for this

[@rixlayer]

7:40 You're probably not gonna find that filter on the newer version of gmic, instead use the "Remove hot pixels" filter under "Repairs".

[@mathyoooo2]

Nah remove hot pixels isn't nearly as good as the filter shown in the video. But that's ok I had no trouble finding the filter in current versions of gimp (2.10)

[@FlojoArt]

Thats awesome! Thank you Alex!

[@alexanderpukhalsky4374]

How can you be that good, bro

[@diegovelazquez2538]

awesome

[@standingpad]

I come from 2021. In Blender 3.0, volumetrics are so fast a noiseless that branched path tracing isn't needed. In fact, due to a rewrite of Cycles, branched path tracing is gone and reduced to atoms. The filter trick is also not needed since we have AI based denoisers built in Blender(as of 2.81)

[@Ruddy761]

I can't seem to achieve these results. Can't get the sun lamp to behave the same way it does here. I'm using blender 2.76B. Even though the lamp is on the inside of my room i get shadows cast through the slats as if it is outside the room. An I don't get any sharp rays, the scene is kinda evenly foggy, no matter how I fiddle with the settings. Gleb calls a dun lap a directional light but it does not seem to behave that way.

[@hashir1653]

Nice job keep it up!

[@JumperDomi321]

In my opinion the raw lighting looked way better than the volumentric one at 00:12.

[@myburghroux]

Raw looks better but has no mood/atmosphere

[@coows]

The only complaint I have is that some light goes through the roof.

[@carlosdiniz6999]

cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@starinsky2873]

[@K375DesignTeam]

great as always. this working on video fx using this. just bad tried to do 3D volume by images, well little hard with 2d to 3d :)

[@LOCKSHADES]

Hey Glen! I think you should update this video when denoiser is officially released in blender.

[@peterrandall6761]

is there a way to get the blender file used in this scene? its really cool and Id like to practice with it

[@harmanjeetsingh7160]

thanks !

[@Rain_theGamer]

you need to tone down your whites, like make them a little yellow , because there are no absolute white lights, but i like the tutorial thank you. And you could correct noise way easier

[@Lolatronn]

Or to get rid of noise use the built in denoiser with blender

[@esscee96]

wow oh my god i want a texturing tutorial for that attic

[@kazenokize2]

Gleb, this is a beautiful tutorial! It got me inspired to try something of the sort. I was wondering, those piles of trash around the attic, how did you make them? Also do you have any tips or tutorials for the beautiful textures you have? I haven't felt this inspired in a looong time!

[@brunomsart]

Gleb, can you show more about thr modeling of the scene of the destroyed city of this tutorial? Very nice the details '0' (sorry for my english)

[@BaduffDisch]

Very nice and informative video!!! What GPU do you use because it renders so fast in the viewport?

[@Architector_4]

In another comment asking the same question, the answer was "GTX 780, 16gb ram, Intel Core i7 4770, Vertex SSD 128 gb" by another person.

[@GlebAlexandrov]

That's right. Just changed a videocard to GTX 1080. But the difference in performance, compared to 780 is not something to die for, just 15-25% I'd say.

[@qnaman]

@@GlebAlexandrov does the perfomance changes in blender 2.79 ? because I have almost same scene . And I did exacl;y same setting like in vide, but my scene is still noisy even at 2000 samples.

[@hugoantunesartwithblender]

Denoise with Gimp? I never tought on that

[@leechong7374]

this nice

[@BrianLife]

Im learning a lot but definitely not coming out similar. My settering must be wrong. Ugh. I enjoy the way you teach but, sometimes you go over things, and dont really show the exact thing your speaking of, and where, etc. its touch. Anyway, im learning still.
