symek Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 (edited) Hi thereDoes anyone have any idea how professional people could manage doing lighting setup for car commerical. I tried to look for some tutorials about product lighting but still could not find some good tutorial about it. Thanks for your attention! Any help will be highly appreciated! yours faithfully Bruce I've no idea who is and who is not a professional but pretty common method for dealing with car's lighting setup is using shapes rather then lights. White and black. So this follows the real life scenario. Directors of photography usually say that cars lighting is the most challenging shots they work on.... and they use lots of butterflies, kino flos, and stuff like this which are basically area lights. hope this help. sy. Personally I try to keep things multi-passed as possible. Implying multiply passes just for reflections + many others (mattes from normals pass which whiter/darker directions on surface). At least two specularity and all this stuff. Good reflections maps with strips etc etc. Edited July 13, 2007 by SYmek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
