Lighting Monday Update. (Patreon)

Hello everyone, Monday is here and with it another update.

Sisu / Interceptor sfx is finished! However, we all need to wait for the re-rendering of the animation.

So what happened? I have made the regrettable decision of diving into the rabbit hole that is lighting in blender. Most of my lighting (if we can call that lighting) was through the compositor or to make it simple, I rely a lot on post-processing. This obviously has changed; now that I know a lot more about lighting in a scene, I don't need to mostly work with the compositor anymore. It's still required, but it opened a lot of possibilities.

Working only with the compositor for a single frame is fine or for a scene without major changes in camera angles.

As a side effect of this, my render time has been reduced by around 5%... This makes no sense to me, but I take it.

I could have released the animation without rendering it again; that is true. But in my opinion, new lighting really bumps the quality by a lot. I will use my old rendering to prepare all the video editing and gain some time. Animation will be released as soon as it is ready.

And that's it for this week! I hope you are all good!

Have a good one!
