Blender Professional Photo Studio Light Setup for Glass Objects - Tutorial

In this short tutorial I would like to introduce you to my photo studio light setup for glass objects. This gives the glass objects a clear black edge, contains no distracting light reflections on the glass surface that would distract from the logo or writing on the bottle. The background shines completely white and the bottom still has a slight reflection, although everything is white.

you just saved me! otherwise the customer would not be happy... thank you very much 🥳

Yeah, I've seen this done before with emission planes before, but I like this a lot better as a lower noise solution. It also makes positioning the wall easier. Thanks a lot

This is very helpful! Thank you for a great tutorial!

Really useful lighting video, thanks!

+tri-lighting add-on also gives good results. Good tutorial

Thanks Dude!

Great tutorial. Nothing gives a creator more headaches than working with glass (well maybe fluid).
Definitely going to try this out on my next glass model.
Thanks for sharing, love your work 👍🏼🦘

In the nodes for the lights --> bring in your texture used on the darkening panels/mesh (what you make dark...in the scene).
And instead of connecting the nodes to a "material output" in your light nodes setup, you will connect it to the "light output" from the lights node setup !
This way there is no need for those 2 extra darkening panels, and you just have the lights with the same function.!!
Also use a gradient node in your setup, to make it more smooth with the color ramp!
(two color ramps + mix node-multiply, one ramp inverted, then you have the darkening gradient on both sides, if needed.)
PS: watch for example the simpsons in English... ;-))

That's not quite the same, because you lose the ability to move the wall relative to the light. I mean, yeah you can get there kind of with changing the vector mapping parameters but it's not as intuitive as just moving the walls.

@@IridiumZero yep :-)

Das ist gut!

thx! Danke

Thx Blenderdude

Great tutorial and learning! But can't get similar effects after tried several times. Guess not control well on their proportions and distances among lights/diffusion bords and object. Wondering if u could share this sample file? Many thanks!

Do you have a video of the steps you took to make the jar look like at the beginning of the video?
