Lighting in 3D before stepping on set 👌 

Most slept on channel 🔥🔥

duuude your a godsend! as a student dp finding your channel has been huge ngl

Bruuuhh can i like this video twice. This is beyond perfect especially for someone who is filming alone. Keep up the great videos.

I rarely comment on RU-vid videos but this content and walkthrough was 10/10. Thanks for sharing Blaine. Subscribed

DUDE! This is remarkable!

WOW, this one piece of software is amazing!

Your channel is a cheat code. Thank you!

Watched this video a few months back and came back to it today because I might be picking up this software to use for some projects coming up. On a side note, I like to imagine that for all of your videos you're sitting exactly like the model you used when talking about lighting the kitchen shot. Stiff legs pointed straight forward under the table. No support, all just immense core strength 😂😂

Seems chill 🙌

Man this is what I have been looking for! Thanks so much

Great stuff man!

this is by far the most underrated Channel. By fucking farrrrrr.

Seems so much more refined a proper sofware compared to a Cinetracer. It get you in the ballpark, but as you know as well, you would hardly blast an M18 without any frame straight at an actor. So stills steps to go regarding diffusion etc, but gives you a ballpark of positioning and exposures. Super usefull tools ! Thanks for sharing this man !

Insanely well done. Thx. When i have used previz software i just dont want to shoot for real and would rather stay in virtual. That said for anyone wanting to learn lightning this is the most cost effective way to get a sense of having any light you need. Mind you very quickly there are go to set ups which we all tend to fall back on for practicality and budget sake and the community tab is a great way to see work and set ups that you might not normally work on. Be great if it output a kit list and could calculate a rough day rate. The exposure adjustments are fantastic to get a ballpark of the light levels. Im not sure if there is a daylight window source (there must be) but there are some architectural lighting software that are stunning at relighting with time of day. Not sure if camera movement is a thing here and generally the issues tend to come with more complicated blocking and movement. The problem with some of this software is that everything looks great and it’s important to separate tools like this that are previz to save time on set and help get the kit pre arranged and sets prelit as opposed to working in 3d environments. My experience moving cameras around in 3d space and moving through virtual sets, turning on rain or just wetting the street at will makes shooting for real seem so unbelievably analog. Fantastic video as always. Thx so much. Fantastic. Bring on AI.

This is gold

Have you tried to recreate the lighting plan developed in this software in reality? Just to compare the rendering of photography in real conditions with the rendering of the software.

Yup, this software is AWESOME. I’ve used it a bunch for testing a whole new lighting setup for our small podcast studio. It’s saved us hundreds, if not thousands, of fees in rental lights just to test things out

Great app, Wow!!!

It feels wrong to take in this amount of information for free 🤯

🔥🔥🔥

Do you know if anyone has built something like this but inside blender? Having realistic lights inside a full 3D software would be next level, but set a light seems like a good in between for now.

Always wanted lighting tips from a young John Candy

Seems like a great program! What are your thoughts on Cine Tracer? Any preference on one program over another?

LOL, You are hilarious... I have had Elixir for a long time but never really knew how to use it properly, Thanks brother! Only bummer is I cannot see how to put a modifier on the Continuous lights like aputures. Fresnel nor Parabolic or any soft box? Am I missing something?

Great video! in Elixxier are there any exposure tools other than histogram? IE false color or EL zone?

Blaine -- I'm wondering if this is best for narrative cinematography where there's different types of environments both INT and EXT. Would Cinetracer be better more customizable ssets for INT and EXT? I know you've built something in a set here in this video, but is there a setting where u can be outside and set the sun's angle like Cinetracer does? I'm torn bc Cinetracer's lighting accuracy isn't as good as set a light's, however, flexibility of scene type seems more with Cinetracer. Thoughts?

❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thanks for sharing! What is the best way to add a window to the scene? I'm trying to create one to light from but having some issues finding how to add it to the scene.

are there any alternatives for this software that might be free to test out first?

How accurate is this tool? Have you had much success in recreating set-ups in real world settings? Would look great in a deck to show a client.

What's the name of the software?

Ok so no haircut yet? :D Are your talking head shots just graded through Dehancer?

super interesting! have you tried importing/exporting objects, whole sets to/from unreal engine? I did some previz in unreal recently hence I'm interested if you have any experience with both of them how well does the program handle reflections (primary, secondary ones)? Is there anything you find somewhat off-putting in the program? Have you ever experimented with polycam 3d scanner and importing real world scanned environment to set a light 3D? My lecturer at uni (Aalto, Helsinki) showed some examples and it is an intriguing tool: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HEcZCiFefNM.html
