Details
In this community workshop, we specifically looked at dark, grungy, nighttime, and low-level light scenes and how to improve lighting in these conditions.
It is challenging to render low-level light scenes with Iray in Daz Studio. Images tend to be grainy, and that is because the Iray render engine works much like a real camera, mimicking the real physics of light. For the same reason, it is difficult to shoot photos or a movie scene in very low light; the camera just isn't as sensitive as the human eye.
This community-based tutorial looked at a range of ideas, example artwork, best practices, and a few recommended products
- Looking at low-level light scenes in terms of luminance watts
- Use of ghost lights and creating your own ghost lights
- Using differently shaped primitives for ghost lights
- How to use HDRI backgrounds to light your night scenes
- The quick and dirty method to adding an emissive light to a prop
- How to use postwork to improve on low-level light renders
- Looking at a dim underwater scene
- Is filament good to use for dark scenes?
- A monitor in a dark room: how to improve lighting in this situation
- Horror scenes
- Tomb Raider stylized scenes
- Some recommended products for low-level light scenes
