One of the most helpful tutorials I've seen in a while, bought the material pack and gonna study the shit out of it :) Even though I use Redshift, it'll be a good practise to recreate the materials from scratch in RS once I understand the theory behind it.
I believe the "hair light" you refer to is called a "rim light". So it makes sense to say that with other things like the car as well. You might also just be referring to "backlight".
Да прибалты эти... тралалашки только свои... 😂 Интегрировать можно было бы, а вот время на это найти - нет. Это очень времязатратное мероприятие. Извиняйте
I would like to know about your perspective on redshift aswell. Maybe you can make it a topic in a future video. Keep up the good work, i really like your vids!
How to you approach the glass for the windshield and windows on the doors in Octane? My experience is that if you use a specular material, it warps the interior of the car like crazy. My only fix thus far has been to use a glossy material with the spec channel all the way up, and I turn the opacity way down...But it isn't super accurate, and takes a long time to solve in the render. Any suggestions?
As he explained in the video, to avoid strange specular behaviour your glass need to have thickness to be correctly calculated (cloth tool works fine to add thickness) also be careful with the normals.
Even without any type of light or HDR, the car headights already look crisp... I will never understand how you are able to achieve this. Even with +3 hours of tweaking, I am unable to understand the magic, even though I am playing with light objects and glass objected in conjunction... Awesome tutorial I would say, missing this tiny part!
Yash Kadam I’m in my late 20’s... I’m a pretty decent artist.. which is why I’m so frustrated. The viewport is disgustingly slow and laggy, renders take wayyyyy too long and legit 2x slower than octane, and cycles is NOT photoreal. Idc what youtuber tells you it is, it isn’t. Octane and fstorm are probably the closest to photoreal considering octane in unbiased pathtracer
Hello, I loved your videos and I tried to follow you. But can't I don't have Pc at home, (can't afford it). I teach 3d, and I have a PC in my institute, which is not have a good config so I stuck myself into technology handicap. Your theories I tried to follow but due to low practice and low tech, I didn't have time to advance. myself in VFX.
Is anyone here a blender user who uses octane? I NEED help using octane with blender. I’ve tried everything and I’m getting a grey viewport. If someone could skype me or something that’d be so dope
Oh man, its soo good the way you do video, straigth to the point, and very short intro. This is good content, youtube channel are getting anoying so many intro, and half of the video to marketing parners. Really good Andrey! Thanks for that!
I have one question, how did you set up that lens flaring on the lights? When I add a light into my scene, it just lights my scene, but yours also had a blueish hue or flaring/glaring that appeared on the screen when you looked at the are lights…how did this work??
I love all of your videos the tips are so dope. like I always find something new when watching your tutorial, and you explained it all very clear. Thank you Andrey!
one of the reasons you get so many fireflies in octane is using light without a texture or as Andrey explained: "an even light". it can easily be solved by adding a falloff map to the distribution in C4d or 3ds max. it also happens when you use a HDRI with sharp lights and decreasing the "GI clamp" or "hotpixel Removal" doesn't help you to get rid of fireflies.
i was so confused with octane lights.. and in one video.. you helped me with everything i was confused about. could you also.. in future, if possible.. post some jewelry lighting tutorials..? like diamond/gold rings etc
I'm sorry if I'm late but this is caused by the built-in octane camera post-production features like bloom, glare and spectral shift. Very cool thing btw.
Andrey I love your videos soooo much. You share brilliant pro quality teaching and your knowledge of the actual world of photography sets you apart. I come from being a professional photographer into the world of 3D and have used (in Blender) the color ramp node to drive the colour of planes which I place in my scene and power by emission shader, precisely in order to achieve the falloff which occurs on wine and other product bottles in the real world. When I see razor sharp lines on wine bottles I know I'm looking at the work of someone who doesn't really know how things work. I am 1 year into learning 3d now and absolutely love it! Precisely for the reasons you mentioned. There are no union contracted workers standing around doing nothing, and I can hang 5MW of lighting over my talent without expensive rigging, or power generation, or health and safety reps, in the 3D world. Thank you. On your advice I am looking into Octane Render right now. Have a great night!
anyone who is a pro photographer or for film knows this stuff, i would always recommend people look at photography lighting techniques, ive seen people in 3D explaining it, but they usually only look at movie/film making but they can learn a lot from photography.
Hey Love your videos! No bullshit just facts. I am studying to become a surface modeler and I am working on my showing of technic! Can you point me in the right direction of learning to make a light up sequence of the headlights... bin looking for ages for one. Thanks a lot! Keep doing what you do!
I have been saying this watching every single movies. . . They need to learn better lighting. . . Only with lighting and shadow one can achieve hyperreality. . . I still believe lighting and shadow need more upgrade. . .
Hi Andrey, great tutorial thanks! I have a quick question though: How does Glass Red Light, glass red bump, and glass red materials work? How do they interact and how do you set them up? Does the bump only go on a certain part of the brake lights or on the entire light? And do you just create an area light inside of the brake lights and apply that "glass red light" material to it? Or how does that work? I also can't get the falloff to work properly. I don't have those same settings as you do. I am using Octane PR13. It seems to have very little effect at all and just leaves me with that same white square. Thanks a lot! Great information, I'm a big fan now.
HI, i am familiar with Blender and find 4d cinema comfortable i guess many people disagree but it is my thought, by the way, your work is very nice no words to say, i want the tutorial to know how to create the title of Owel as you make if you can please share.
"3 point lighting, where we would have our Key light, our fill light, and our hair light." That's most commonly called a RIM light in 3D, not hair light. Rim lighting has nothing to do with hair, it's about separating the object from the background by lighting the "Rim" or outline.
