Wtf?

[elfin shoal]

bro loved ur stuff so much he pinged everyone

[remote rapids]

Cringe

LMAO

[elfin shoal]

@remote rapids is the 3d cycles or eevee?

[remote rapids]

Cycles

[elfin shoal]

ok i was like

if eevee looks that good 😭

[remote rapids]

Hahaha

[elfin shoal]

i mean ik it has good stylization but ehh

[remote rapids]

Yeah i prefer cycles everytime tbh

[elfin shoal]

yeah thats what i was thinking

ngl ima need to know ur lighting setup

i dont use blender but still can learn smthn

like this is kinda my idea for lighting rn

but idk

it feels flat

[remote rapids]

So i use sky texture i make the sun pretty low elevation, size 0. I have 1 or 2 spotlights with colour that's it. Simple shit haha

[elfin shoal]

damn

alright go crazy

LMAO

[remote rapids]

You just need a harsher sunlight I think?

[elfin shoal]

yeah prob

i havent done ts in so long

[remote rapids]

You're fine man 💪

[pallid meteor]

im so lost why were we all pinged here?

[remote rapids]

He did it for no reason

[slate sundial]

This is good lighting by itself

[slate sundial]

But if you're feeling that then the solution is out of whatever lighting setup you're using. Increase the intensity of one of them.
You'll get a bit more harsh shadows and highlights. Work around that

[elfin shoal]

yeah i mean im just messing around with how lighting works in blender rn

imported some basic stuff to play around with

i mean it works

[slate sundial]

https://youtu.be/XcJyW5iBKlU

This helped me out when I was learning about lighting

Worth checkin out

[elfin shoal]

i mean a lot of it is straight forward

similar to c4d

[slate sundial]

Environment scenes like this can also benefit from volumetrics and subtle depth of field. Makes the scene more believable

[elfin shoal]

yeah im assuming volumetrics are done with a just a big cube lol

thats what i do

[slate sundial]

Ye most cases it is just that lol

With some occasional noise or other nodes plugged in to randomise it a bit

[elfin shoal]

first thing in blender for rn

tbh kinda similar to c4d

just weirder workflows

[slate sundial]

ye

Also depends on assets to an extent

[slate sundial]

For example this asset that you're using mostly just looks like it has some base color and normal maps that's it. no roughness maps or stuff like that so it makes materials look flat no matter how good or bad the lighting is

[elfin shoal]

yeah its just all ported from my c4d scene

which has a lot more to it but its also commercial so

[lyric mist]

Are u special

[frozen pond]

EEVEE can get that look really easily
