WEBVTT 00:04.430 --> 00:09.620 Hello everybody and welcome back in front of us here we've got our wonderful model Suzanne with one 00:09.620 --> 00:11.010 lights in the scene. 00:11.540 --> 00:19.010 However if flights are a bit better it's much easier to see her face and other details around as well 00:19.220 --> 00:23.500 because our subject is properly lit and that can make all the difference. 00:23.510 --> 00:28.160 No end of time in students renders people always forget lighting. 00:28.310 --> 00:29.720 And it's so important. 00:30.080 --> 00:34.790 So let's hop on over and make a three point light set up over in Blender. 00:34.790 --> 00:36.410 Hello everybody and welcome back. 00:36.410 --> 00:41.330 So let's go ahead and get rid of our cube as adding something more exciting. 00:41.330 --> 00:43.960 Suzanne the monkey will do okay. 00:44.090 --> 00:48.000 So the view itself that we wants to capture here. 00:48.020 --> 00:54.950 I'm going to move the camera first because the camera is kind of important as it dictates where the 00:54.950 --> 01:00.200 lights are going to where we're going to actually place the lights in order to get our three point lighting 01:00.230 --> 01:00.900 setup. 01:00.900 --> 01:01.980 So I going to do that really quick. 01:01.980 --> 01:08.010 I'm going to hop into camera view with over here and just look at Suzanne face on quite close. 01:08.010 --> 01:13.240 So she's filling up a lot of the frame now it doesn't matter if that's perfect. 01:13.340 --> 01:14.760 That'll do. 01:14.800 --> 01:17.940 I'm going to go into all the graphic perspective and look down from the top. 01:17.940 --> 01:19.260 That's our scene. 01:19.310 --> 01:27.680 And when I do that I'm going to select my lamp and move one of them about 45 degrees over there. 01:27.710 --> 01:32.020 Now at the moment we can't see any lighting information in our scene. 01:32.240 --> 01:37.400 So I'm going to go up to the very top we're making these adjustments I can't see them along the top 01:37.400 --> 01:38.890 here is rendered mode. 01:39.020 --> 01:45.800 Now hopefully you're still in the evening Jim but you might have played some going to click that and 01:45.800 --> 01:48.250 it should look like it does now. 01:48.300 --> 01:49.780 It is a bit fuzzier. 01:49.790 --> 01:55.460 You may have cycles turned on if we go over to the properties panel and go to render. 01:55.460 --> 02:01.900 We can change the render engine between cycles workbench and eevee for the moment we want it's set on 02:01.910 --> 02:08.390 eevee and we probably will for most of the course and you'll see why later on but for the moment we 02:08.390 --> 02:13.770 can leave it on TV and we can now see the effect that lightning has if I just press the G key a move 02:13.770 --> 02:19.000 that around we can see that real time shadows are happening on Suzanne the monkey. 02:19.220 --> 02:21.590 Now the light is all the way up in the sky. 02:21.590 --> 02:27.660 We don't want that but look at it from the side and pull the lights down CES highlighting her face. 02:27.680 --> 02:29.850 Now let's have a look at how she looks. 02:29.930 --> 02:35.210 So that's a bit dramatic at the moment we really have lost all of the old of the detail around the other 02:35.210 --> 02:36.110 side. 02:36.110 --> 02:42.260 So we have our main lights sets up we've not called it main lights or key lights as it's known in the 02:42.260 --> 02:45.500 industry so let's go in and call it the key lights. 02:46.460 --> 02:47.260 So that's good. 02:47.270 --> 02:48.410 It's named key lights. 02:48.410 --> 02:49.330 We know what it is. 02:49.400 --> 02:53.100 In fact I'm going to quit light key. 02:53.180 --> 02:58.220 The reason for that is then all of the lights will be duplicated in the moment and they will have the 02:58.220 --> 02:59.270 word lights. 02:59.360 --> 03:04.230 So they'll be grouped together in the hierarchy as well and they'll be easier to find. 03:04.250 --> 03:07.490 So let's go ahead and look at this from the top again. 03:07.490 --> 03:14.120 Now the next lights that I want will be over here and it will fill in the shadows that are over on this 03:14.120 --> 03:14.950 side. 03:15.020 --> 03:19.700 So I'm going to duplicate the lamp with its selected and placed it roughly in the same place on the 03:19.700 --> 03:20.990 other side. 03:21.140 --> 03:25.820 And whilst I'm here I'm going to rename it immediately going to have a look here. 03:25.830 --> 03:27.670 It's called key like 0 0 1. 03:27.680 --> 03:34.610 I'm going to change it from the key light to the fill lights and then there's one final lights that 03:34.610 --> 03:36.460 we need which is the backlight. 03:36.530 --> 03:43.460 And what that does is it helps highlights around the edge of our model and make it not looks quite as 03:43.460 --> 03:44.390 distant. 03:44.390 --> 03:50.300 Now in general that will be kind of in line with this speech to have to be perfect with these things 03:50.320 --> 03:51.220 at all. 03:51.220 --> 03:54.950 And because you can adjust them to get the effects that you want. 03:54.950 --> 03:57.360 So we're going to rename that straightaway. 03:57.380 --> 04:01.220 So we don't forget and I'm just going to call that back for backlight. 04:01.610 --> 04:02.030 OK. 04:02.060 --> 04:06.490 Let's have a look through the camera again and let's turn the back lights on and off. 04:06.490 --> 04:07.810 Does it make a difference. 04:07.820 --> 04:11.340 It does indeed look at this very important here. 04:11.390 --> 04:13.550 There's this highlights right in the middle. 04:13.700 --> 04:17.930 That is actually affected by the backlight and just under here. 04:17.930 --> 04:26.020 So it is highlighting the rim of our model and there's other places this edge of the air as well. 04:26.060 --> 04:28.460 So it is worth having that extra light there. 04:28.460 --> 04:29.360 Brilliant. 04:29.360 --> 04:34.520 Sometimes you can't really see much of an effect but this even though it's only one or two places makes 04:34.520 --> 04:35.990 a big difference. 04:36.020 --> 04:40.590 So Suzanne is much much better LEDs than she was previously. 04:40.610 --> 04:44.780 Now sometimes a dramatic effect like that is pretty awesome. 04:44.780 --> 04:51.860 So we can toggle on and off the visibility with these little icons to see how objects is looking as 04:51.890 --> 04:54.170 we add lights. 04:54.170 --> 04:59.180 Now there's one thing that we haven't done yet and that's adjusted the value of these lights. 04:59.180 --> 05:00.690 They're all the same. 05:00.710 --> 05:07.310 Typically the key lights is going to be the brightest the fill lights will be slightly dimmer to add 05:07.310 --> 05:09.820 a bit of contrast in shape to our face. 05:09.830 --> 05:12.860 In this case or objects in something else. 05:12.860 --> 05:19.100 So what we can do here is go to and make sure that we've got a fill light selected and then go find 05:19.100 --> 05:20.400 the lamp properties. 05:20.420 --> 05:26.810 Now the icon for that does change depending on what type of light it is play or be further down on the 05:26.810 --> 05:27.470 properties. 05:27.470 --> 05:33.140 And here it is we hover over that's the object data for our lamp and we notice that if we change it 05:33.140 --> 05:41.120 to one of the other types of lamp a sun lamp a spot lamp and an area lamp the icon changes accordingly. 05:41.120 --> 05:46.220 We're going to leave it as a point lamp for the moment and we will revisit lights a lot later on in 05:46.220 --> 05:47.160 the course. 05:47.450 --> 05:50.030 But is the energy value that we're focused on. 05:50.030 --> 05:55.490 So I going to turn the energy value down to maybe six and there we go we've got a slight difference 05:55.580 --> 06:01.850 across the face of Suzanne how we can do a similar thing with this light in the background as well we 06:01.850 --> 06:07.430 could turn that down to two so it's got a much more subtle effect on our model but there we go that's 06:07.430 --> 06:10.280 a three point lighting system set up. 06:10.430 --> 06:16.310 Now I'm going to do one final thing here a bit more of an advance thing but it's something that you 06:16.310 --> 06:19.290 can incorporate into all of your models. 06:19.400 --> 06:24.360 Firstly what we've got set up here is generally for a static object. 06:25.430 --> 06:29.860 If you've also got extra lights in your scene you can use that for effect. 06:29.870 --> 06:36.750 So like on my well I might choose to put a lights up inside the well that highlights all of the structure 06:36.750 --> 06:43.110 in the roof because a three point lighting sets up like this might not highlight everything but in this 06:43.110 --> 06:48.870 case what I'm going to do is I'm going to select all of my lights and with them all selected I'm going 06:48.870 --> 06:57.270 to press the M key create a new collection and I'm going to call it lighting rig because that's essentially 06:57.270 --> 06:59.720 what it is and then click Okay. 07:00.000 --> 07:07.590 And that has grouped all of these objects that are crucial to the lighting in one place which is really 07:07.590 --> 07:12.630 really useful because it means we can hide all of those components out of the way when we're working 07:12.630 --> 07:16.180 on our model and bring them back in when it's necessary. 07:16.200 --> 07:21.480 The final thing that I'm going to do here is make sure if I move my camera the lights come along with 07:21.480 --> 07:22.330 us. 07:22.380 --> 07:29.620 So with the camera as the active selected objects and the press control and pay and parents them you 07:29.630 --> 07:34.190 will see these black lines all going to our camera. 07:34.200 --> 07:40.780 Well this now means that we can move around our camera and that lighting rig stays with us. 07:40.800 --> 07:47.390 Now this is really only good for this one particular model if we have a much larger model in our scene. 07:47.520 --> 07:53.270 It doesn't really work or if it's too small it won't work that well either. 07:53.730 --> 07:58.080 So it's to bear in mind that the rig does have to be setup per the scene. 07:58.080 --> 08:02.910 But now we've parents had all of these lamps to the camera. 08:02.970 --> 08:09.920 It does mean that if we wanted to we could move this around rotates it on the z axis pull it background. 08:10.230 --> 08:13.640 And now it lit up in the same way we were before. 08:13.770 --> 08:20.010 In fact even better if we're in first person view our lighting is consistent as we're moving around 08:20.010 --> 08:21.340 our object. 08:21.450 --> 08:27.810 Otherwise it wouldn't be lit consistently as the lighting itself wouldn't move with us. 08:27.810 --> 08:28.360 Wow. 08:28.410 --> 08:31.430 A lot to take in there the whole parenting thing at the end. 08:31.430 --> 08:35.910 That's just a little bonus for you we'll cover that in much more detail later on in the course as well. 08:36.780 --> 08:39.430 But now it's time for your challenge. 08:39.460 --> 08:43.210 OK everybody see your challenge is to add lights to your scene. 08:43.320 --> 08:49.400 Now do start with a three point lighting set up and then add additional lights if you like. 08:49.470 --> 08:54.510 What's important here is that you're not afraid you experiment and you have fun as you go. 08:54.510 --> 08:59.680 Suppose a video now and give Natsuko Okay everybody Welcome back. 08:59.730 --> 09:03.130 Let's go hop on to blender and add some lights to our scene. 09:03.160 --> 09:04.530 Okay everybody Welcome back. 09:04.530 --> 09:06.860 Let's go ahead and I'm going to open up the well. 09:06.900 --> 09:11.790 I've been working on obviously you open up what you've been working on as well and switch over to rendered 09:11.790 --> 09:12.060 mode. 09:12.250 --> 09:12.580 OK. 09:12.600 --> 09:16.140 So the first thing that I'm gonna say here is that the shadows are too harsh. 09:16.140 --> 09:21.180 Let's see if we can go ahead and set up a similar setup as we had with Suzanne and see how it looks 09:21.180 --> 09:21.780 with our model. 09:21.810 --> 09:22.850 It might not work. 09:22.890 --> 09:24.360 It might do. 09:24.440 --> 09:24.740 Okay. 09:24.750 --> 09:26.140 So I'm going to have a look at the top. 09:26.160 --> 09:29.970 I'm going to set them all so an appropriate place so let's have a look. 09:29.970 --> 09:31.930 Where's our camera. 09:31.930 --> 09:34.310 Our cameras over there at the moment. 09:34.380 --> 09:42.610 So our first lamp is gonna be roughly over here on 1 we'll be over here. 09:42.640 --> 09:44.250 And the other one will be back here. 09:44.350 --> 09:44.670 Okay. 09:44.680 --> 09:51.090 So let's just duplicate those and move them around something like that. 09:51.200 --> 09:58.850 The next thing I need to do with them selected but not the outer is just go round to the side and lower 09:58.850 --> 10:02.020 them down to an appropriate height as well. 10:02.130 --> 10:06.110 I want to keep them in line with the camera for the moment because want they see that's cause a lot 10:06.110 --> 10:10.970 more interest around the well itself at the bottom. 10:11.060 --> 10:11.910 Okay. 10:11.990 --> 10:15.860 So that is all sets up what isn't setup is the naming. 10:15.860 --> 10:23.700 So I'm just going to come in here selects or let's have a look which one is gonna be my main lights. 10:23.790 --> 10:27.200 I'm gonna have this one over here as my house. 10:27.240 --> 10:28.380 That one is the main lights. 10:28.410 --> 10:29.520 This is just called Lights. 10:29.530 --> 10:33.160 The 0 0 1 I'm going to call it Main. 10:33.240 --> 10:35.430 I'll call this one. 10:35.500 --> 10:37.680 Phil I don't think I've been named the object. 10:37.680 --> 10:38.370 No I haven't. 10:38.370 --> 10:38.970 There we go. 10:39.510 --> 10:44.460 So there's lots of names in Blender it's easy to fill in the wrong one. 10:44.490 --> 10:47.630 This one's gonna be main or key lights. 10:47.650 --> 10:52.170 It's up to you each naming convention you use as long as you're consistent with it. 10:52.230 --> 10:59.160 So in the aim of trying to be consistent I'm going to rename that key and then I'm going to select all 10:59.160 --> 11:07.350 of those select my camera in the outline of struggling to select it in the viewport and I'm just going 11:07.350 --> 11:09.030 to group them all together. 11:09.030 --> 11:09.610 Excellent. 11:09.630 --> 11:11.740 So I can turn them on enough as I need to. 11:12.170 --> 11:16.470 Right the first thing is that these are all creating hot spots because I've got ground. 11:16.470 --> 11:21.630 So that's something to bear in mind that does look a lot lot better. 11:21.660 --> 11:22.920 Can I see through that. 11:22.950 --> 11:25.810 Or is it some sort of funky shadow happening. 11:26.390 --> 11:26.940 Mm hmm. 11:26.940 --> 11:27.730 Cool. 11:27.750 --> 11:33.180 Well I quite like it like that with the light bursting through so that's a good start. 11:33.270 --> 11:40.300 Now with the press G and Z and just lift everything up it's definitely coming through there. 11:40.390 --> 11:41.590 Yeah I'm okay. 11:41.590 --> 11:41.950 Brilliant. 11:41.980 --> 11:46.510 So the next thing to do here is just tweak some of the values of these lights. 11:46.690 --> 11:52.780 So let's take this down to make it a bit dimmer so those light rays coming through aren't quite as strong 11:52.780 --> 11:57.820 this lamp here in the double down as well slightly although 12:02.040 --> 12:05.850 this is really the face of the object isn't it over here. 12:05.850 --> 12:07.770 So let's let's raise that one. 12:07.770 --> 12:14.620 Cool that one the key lights this one the feel like oh I was going for the convention lights. 12:14.790 --> 12:21.480 Phil Wilson's high before so let's stick with that light. 12:21.550 --> 12:22.950 So be the. 12:23.170 --> 12:24.510 Yeah this would be the Phil lights. 12:24.510 --> 12:26.010 That's fine. 12:26.070 --> 12:30.360 Okay so now all of those are named appropriately. 12:30.420 --> 12:32.580 Let's make sure that they have the right settings. 12:32.580 --> 12:33.210 Twelve. 12:33.240 --> 12:34.000 Yes. 12:34.030 --> 12:35.400 And eights over here. 12:35.400 --> 12:35.970 Perfect. 12:36.000 --> 12:37.850 Let's have another look at it. 12:37.890 --> 12:38.610 And there we go. 12:38.610 --> 12:39.790 My lighting setups. 12:39.810 --> 12:40.530 All done. 12:40.530 --> 12:42.650 I'm really liking the look of it so far. 12:43.080 --> 12:44.880 I hope you guys are having lots of fun. 12:44.890 --> 12:46.130 I certainly am. 12:46.170 --> 12:48.690 I can't wait to see what you've created. 12:48.690 --> 12:52.050 Speaking of which we're going to need to render out our models to do that. 12:52.210 --> 12:54.810 We'll find out more about that in the next lecture.
