I’ve got them, not had time to try them out yet - I’ll try a couple of quick renders and see how they do
(I better not look at my Bank balance until next year, the stuff I’ve bought this week went waaaaay beyond my allocated budget - but so much good stuff hit the store!)
Would also be interested in more information, especially how well they fare in indoor scenes and how easy they’d be to adjust then (e.g. move, adjust directions etc.).
I got quite a few of DimensionTheory’s light sets and appreciate the quality of them and these seem to be at least partially aimed at indoor scenes (also judging from the promo shadows).
Very good fire-and-forget high quality lighting - no excuses with these sets! The examples I’ll be posting below took around 9mins each to render, so excellent balance of quality and speed.
Each has an uberenvironment and distant light grouped together, so light rotation is a breeze even for beginners.
The first image shows scene WITHOUT any lights, just so you can get an idea of how lighting changes the look. The name of each image indicates which light set was used (1-20 in set 1, and 21-40 in set 2)
...these seem to be at least partially aimed at indoor scenes (also judging from the promo shadows).
It would give good ambience through gaps/windows, but the render time will shoot up if the indoor scene is an actual enclosed space (and would also most likely need an extra light or two added to highlight points of interest)... but will be great for “movie set” type scenes where there’s no ceiling or walls to block the light.
I am curious how these lights look with human characters. Some light tend to wash out the skin. The product pictures do not really show enough to let me know how this will look with human characters in the scene, so I have held out-for now.
Does anyone know if these will work with DS3? The page says “Compatible 3D Software: DAZ Studio 4.5, DAZ Studio” so is the second mention of Daz Studio referring to DS4 or DS3 or both?
Just got the first set and I’m not sure what to think. All my test spot renders come put looking more ‘artistic’, like old paintings or something.
Don’t know if thats how they are suppose to render like that but I was hoping for more realistic result for my current project . Still it’s given me ideas for for some other works.

Post a screenshot…of maybe a spot render and your advanced render settings.
