About the video: Illumination with Mesh Lights and Correction Controls
Overview
“Next, I will show you how to convert any geometry into a light source with the same properties as a rectangle light or sphere light. We will do tests with different geometries, intensities, and temperatures.”
In this video lesson Giancarlo Pava Durand addresses the topic: Illumination with Mesh Lights and Correction Controls, which is part of the Domestika online course: Interior Renders with SketchUp and V-Ray Next. Learn to work with lighting and materials to create impressive renders of architectural projects.
Partial transcription of the video
“In this lesson. you'll learn how to turn any geometry in your project into a light source. Before continuing with this lesson. i wanted to mention that I've done a render with the HRI turned off. and making a single change in the spotlight's light by changing the color to 3500. I conduct this test to show that the method also works in low-light situations or nighttime scenes. We just need to work on the intensity of each light. After creating our lights. the next step is to make meshlights. which means turning geometry into light sources. Let's start with the Spotlights. We enter the group ...”
