[ENDED] BC4-1810 – October 2018 Class Homepage – Shading & Lighting with Blender

[Jake Korosi]

@purplekaleidoscope77 I don’t think you’ve actually got a front light in that scene.  It looks to me like there’s only two lights – a key off to the left and a fill from the right.  Try cranking up the strength/energy of your left-side light a fair amount, and give it an ever so slight bit of blue, and see how that works out.

Hi, can I already share homework for week 4 or I have to wait?

[Grady Pruitt]

@purplekaleidoscope77 ,to add to what @jakeblended said… bring  the key forward just a little bit .

[Kent Trammell]

@dragonice69 That’s a very noticeable difference..ouch

@yukinoh1989 This is my pinterest board where I keep lighting examples.

[Kent Trammell]

@gasteropode  I only ask that you wait to share week 4 homework to avoid confusion / forgetting on my part. If you and others start posting out of order it will be difficult for me to keep track myself. So please let the anticipation build! 😄

Grading homework submissions this week has inspired me! A lot of Eevee light matches and I had to try my hand at it because up till this point I’ve done all my light matches with Cycles. Here’s my first Eevee light match (source from Bruno Ortolland, a Blender + Cycles render):

I tried to go “all out” with Eevee to test its limits for competing with Cycles. It’s got indirect lighting (GI), screenspace reflections, AO, and upgraded shadows. While I did feel my self bumping into Eevee’s box a lot, overall I’m 90% happy with its ability in this situation. There’s a lot of potential considering we will only get better at harnessing Eevee and the engine itself will only get better going forward!

@theluthier I won’t lie I’m a staunch ambassador of 2.79 but I had quite a lot of fun with Eevee this week, crashing and bugs notwithstanding. Admittedly you gotta put in extra work to make it look good but the level of customisation on offer is outstanding.

[smurfmier1985]

@theluthier That looks awesome! Great showcase of Eevee’s potential 😄

Personally I had a lot of fun tweaking stuff in Eevee! also I find it much easier to use than Cycles, because you can see the realtime result. With Cycles I never get it exactly the way I want.

@smurfmier1985 +1 I absolutely had the same feeling this week.

In August just started the 2.8 version but did not try too many things, watched the tutorials and the work of others but that was all. 

Finally maybe it was worth to wait till October as only once crashed, anyway it was very stable on the computer and really enjoyed Eevee, so much that I think will not go back to 2.79, maximum for using addons like RetopoFlow

[Zsolt Cseh]

After I’m done with the class work this week I’ll put some bullet points about them into that post.  I’m glad people are still thinking of that post and linking people to it!

@jakeblended of course can not ask it but eventually if you find time, it would be a great added value continuing it and have it on one place updated.

Maybe it could be brought over even here to this October thread, @theluthier Kent what would you think?

Question, is there a way to bake lighting in blender?

[purplekaleidoscope77]

@gradyp Thanks!

[Kent Trammell]

@purplekaleidoscope77 Yes you can bake lighting with Cycles. Here’s a video about it: https://cgcookie.com/lesson/map-baking-with-cycles

[William Miller]

My sound is not working.  Could you please add captions to the recording of the live stream?

[Kent Trammell]

@williamatics You mean the video plays but sound doesn’t? What browser are you using? I’m on chrome and firefox and get audio with both..
