WATCH THIS Before Picking Your Lights in Blender!

"Now the sun light is not getting used as much as it was getting used"

Me laughing because I have it in every project for the literal slightest amount of light to support the HDRI


P.S
I use Eevee, don't got a GPU, and our sky texture options are.... well they're not as dynamic as the cycles one. Not bad though

I love how you refused to read the official Blender sentence at the beginning, but then you went into this long process on Watts. LOLOLOL

this is good man.. thansk for making the vid and sharing knowledge ✌

Ducky, I follow you but my "problem" is accessihg the properties for various lights in blender ver 4. Egsample where do I change th strength og for lights or size ets. It is quitr different from ver 3:6

Nice vid - clear, get it done.. not too long

This are so helpful. thank you

What should we do if we want the lights on the stage not to touch the plane?

un😊😊😊😊

Make a video how to make a text from a preview 🙏

Thanks for sharing!

somehow my light not working like no light came out.

tysm

hey does anyone know why the lights won't work? I'm working on a project rn and for some reason the lights in this specific project refuse to work, so when I render the image, everything is completely dark. I think I may have messed with the default settings at one point (but idk fs), because when I start a new project and play with the lights, it works fine in the new project. Does anyone have any idea what I should do (and no I can't restart because I've worked on this project for a really long time so it'd be hard for me to restart completely)?

I heard once, that some lights are more heavy to process than others, is that right? is area light more lightweight for our processors than spot light (or viceversa) ?

Custom mesh lights and HDRIs would be amazing!

They need to make a “Strobe Light” in Blender also.

I wish Blender offered the ability to set the power of the lights in foot candles.

Thanks for sharing all your knowledge.

The automatic Sky at the end was awesome and all I needed, thank you.

Thanks Ducky this was useful. An idea for a future video - how to make and play with fog (principled volume boxes)?

Thanks for this. Really like your tutrorials.
Please do the mesh lights and HDRI lights with reflections video!

in some occasions i crank up the wats to 5000000 (5 mil), wonder how it translates to real life object hahahahaha

There is no such thing as wattage. In physics, optics and electrical engineering, there is Power Rating, in units of Watts. "Wattage" is a non-scientific colloqualism.

Great tutorial! I recently switched from Cinema 4D to Blender and so far I'm very happy with it. One thing I haven't been able to manage is how to include/exclude lights from hitting objects. If you want for instance 8 different spotlights to hit only one specific object - not other objects (they are hit by other lights) next to it in the scene. A tutorial about how to solve that would be appreciated. Best regards from Denmark 🙂

As a photographer my knowledge of light's helped me a lot in 3d design

great recap

dude this is why you are the best. first minute in: "point light is blah blah blah let me give you MY definition" simplifying it for us and making this program so much easier to understand

Nice

Love all your tutorials! Thanks a TON! I'd love to see more tutorials about lights and particles, volumes, and everything about super cool lighting. Also bought your "realtime materials" and they are FANTASTIC! but ))) I am having a problem with animated subjects, my principled texture shifts, please be kind to do a tutorial on how to bake principled textures ;) Thank you!

You can actualy use negitive values to take light out of your scene... can be a sort of cool effect sometimes :D

can you make a follow up video to this by making a realistic day time and night time city render? maybe even show a day/night cycle as a bonus? the information in this video really helps🙏🏽 thank you

How do you make the light itself be visible? Your cone and point lights seemed to show on screen.

Yeeeah we want a vídeo for mesh and hdri lights❤

I want to thank you for all the Blender videos. For me they are the best teaching videos. You don’t rush through and you explain the how and why’s ❤

Which GPU do you use? Thanks

Please do make a video on those HDRI's

yes plls Mesh lights, reflections, HDRIs... awesome videos

It just helped me a lot specially the real world calculations that I didn't know about them, Thank you so much I appreciate it.

Why are negative values discouraged?

Why do you wearing that funny heat?

I noticed there's a "use nodes" option for lights in cycles but I've never used it, would be cool if you covered that.
I also find the sky texture really useful.👍

Are emission shaders the same as an area light?

Please make tutorial for product modeling texturing and lighting

Ironic how Ducky has actually shifted to using Spotlights, meanwhile I hate spotlights with a burning passion because that's all you have in Source Filmmaker

Update: I meant meanwhile, not meaning!

Okay, I haven't even watched this yet, BUT GREAT JOB ON THE THUMBNAIL! ITS SO GOOD, LOL

I'd say mesh lights and emissives is pretty important followup to this. There is a lot to learn there.
