Why bother? For example, tweak the reflections ONLY. The Light Path node works wonders, if you need to saparate the actual light emitted by objects VS what camera sees. Recap some hacks from the previous chapters and combine them to create a hyperrealistic render. Like we live in a Quake era.ĭiscover how to simulate a traffic trails effect in Blender. Learn how to beautify the lighting by painting a lightmap.

How to use the Add shader to break the energy conservation law and create. You can add an extra oomph to your lighting by playing with the normal-based effects in the material.

You can take a shortcut (or rather a smartcut) and render it in 2 minutes. Even the nerdiest of nerds wouldn't enjoy it. Waiting 53 hours watching render buckets crawl across the screen. If you’ve ever tried to create a thick cloudy fog with the light shining through it, you know how tantalizing it is. Realistic Lighting Can Be A Pain in the Butt
