We’ll start off in Cycles and talk about all the main properties of light objects and environment lights and how to tweak them to get the results you want. Along the way, you’ll learn important concepts about path tracing and how light works in general, which will help you create any lighting effect on your own. From there we’ll switch over to Eevee and demystify what’s going on with shadows, environments, and bounce lighting during rasterization, so you can get as close to Cycles quality as possible without the extra headache. Lastly, we’ll look at how to take your lighting from good to great by talking about best practices and a few tricks that can instantly transform a render from “ok but kinda boring” to jumping right out of the screen. Whether you’re brand new to Blender or a pro that just needs a refresher to up your lighting game, I made this course for you. Head over to the first lesson to get started!
