The Magic of Lighting

[xtu6io666]

What makes you love Lighting & Texture so much???
Whats the magic inside???

[rryria]

as u said,

it's really magic.

good lighting and texture can make magic!

i think lighting and texture is the most difficult part in 3d.
and not everyone can do it well... at least i cant...

i saw many good pieces they must have a very good lighting.

by bring out the contrast, hue, tone to present a very moody and convincing atomsphere.

my little opinion.

Lighting is to fool people. It makes things looks special or real.

Lighting 同 texture 系構成完整靜幀作品其中既基本條件，如果兄有Michelangelo既功力，淨玩雕塑，都可以唔理既。不過無燈點睇呢。

Lighting 同 texture 其實好玩架，Lighting更妙不可言，迫唔迫到作品既“靈氣”都睇佢，真正攝影師傅都系打燈高手，可以偷下師。

其實小弟呢兩家都唔識，慚愧。

..... 終於有時間答喇

lighting & texture...... 應該仲要加埋 rendering & compositing 先至巖

rendering 基本上有 photorealistic 同 non-photorealistic 之分

photorealistic 系本人玩得較深入既類別, 由 shading network, texture, lighting, rendering, compositing. 咁多樣程序已經玩左我3年, 依家終於到我玩返佢, 呢種成功感非筆墨所能形容

雖然俾佢玩左3年, 但系o系 art sense, lighting's sensitivity, software technical knowledge, matching live-action lighting & set-up 已經大有進步.

俾佢玩緊其間, 又唔覺唔覺學左 physics(photometry), interior lighting, film lighting, make-up... ... 呢d野學識左, 始終都系自己既, 玩到咁專, 總算有一技之長啦....
呢幾年放哂d 時間落去 lighting & rendering 到, 學哂一瓣先, 然後再學其他野都未遲, 集中玩一項反而覺得會學得特別快添, haha


p.s. 仲有 lighting 其實可以唔系 lighting, 有好多野都可以扮到 lighting, 對我黎講 lighting & rendering 系相輔相成, 有燈冇燈只有一線之差. software 都只系俾我利用既工具, 邊套就手就用邊套, concept 始終冇變過, 因為 lighting 都系 physics + art (一半真理一半呃人既把戲) ..... 徒兒門, 睇下我d testing 同埋d job samples 啦, 記得睇埋 comp 呀!!

但系對於(打燈)新手, 想學好d打燈技巧, 可以做d咩呢?

其實學?maya一段時間 (雖然唔系長), 但打燈都系好差, 特別系要夾d real footage 時, 明知打燈好唔好系成功關鍵, 但由於自己打燈能力問題, 所以最後都有心無力 . 所以有無高人可以講下想學好打燈可以做d咩? or 有無咩tutorial or 大師作品可以學習???

[h2o]

夾 real footage 有好多細節上既野要學, 寫出黎會好難理解......

不過自己平時可以留意多d周圍環境, 特別系燈光變化, 物件對燈光既影響, 當然 material 都要細心研究

[vitamin C]

雖然寫出黎會好難理解 (我都明有D野系只可以用visual去表達, 用字去講未必講到同講得好), 但系你可唔可以講少少呢D細節上既野ar?

因為系有好多tutorial講lighting, 但好多都系好"死硬"地叫你"落個咩燈intensity系某個數", 之後你系可以打到好似張sample, 但到最後你對住另一個唔同的scene都系唔系好識打, 只會越打越多燈 (= render time 要越長 = 自己玩死自己 )

[WildSeven]

並不要被燈的數目所限呢... 3 point lighting 並不是只打3 盞燈呢~

其實rendering 的時間主要取決於每盞燈的setting 上, 清楚每個setting 的意義對於加快render 時間有很大幫助..

有本書叫 digital lighting & rendering, 對於學習打燈很有幫助呢~

請問本digital lighting & rendering 有無中文版?

[h2o]

我見過有國內簡體字版

I've read the Digital Rendering and Lighting book, and I think it's a very good book, it tell you some of the important basic skill. But I think there's no short cut to do good lighting and rendering. Even the author of the Digital Rendering and Lighting book said, lighting is 10% setup and 90% test. Most of the tutorial out there only teach you how to setup a light, but you still need to spend lots and lots of time to test it in order to make it look nice.

...lighting, rendering, compositing. 咁多樣程序已經玩左我3年, 依家終於到我玩返佢, 呢種成功感非筆墨所能形容

I think h20 already tell the very true...although it take times, but the more you play around, the more experience you can get, then the better you will be.

We can see objects b'cas of light, and we're all gonna die without light.....light induced to color and beauty.
