ArtStation – Lighting Otto’s Office – How to think like a cinematographer when lighting in Blender by Justin Wentz (2021) Full Course Download
–Includes .Blend file for the demo scene–
In this video series, I walk you through six lighting setups for an interior office environment, looking at individual light placement and describing the intention behind each decision. The series begins with a quick survey of the Blender lights that will be used throughout the setups.
This is not a technical deep dive into lighting or rendering but rather a brief overview of the creative decisions involved in lighting like a cinematographer. I think this information will be especially helpful for those who are new to lighting in 3D applications or just want to push their lighting to the next level.
