By turning the spread to 1 degree you are essentially creating an almost-sun lamp. Unlike other light sources, because the sun is so far away, the light rays that reach us are parallel, meaning the size of a shadow does not change with distance from the object casting it.
a lifesaver. just followed some redshift tutorials for C4D, making me wish I could do the same for Blender. I knew i could add textures to light sources, but changing the spread to 1degree- that was the missing piece. Thanks so much!
Protip, the gain on your microhpone is super high which is why it sounds like that. If you're using an audiobox, turn down the mic sensitivity and boost the volume in post
@@Smeaf I'm not 100% certain that is the issue, but it seems like it to me. If you have a USB mic, you probably can't fix it like that. But if your mic is connected to an audiobox via a weird round connector and the audiobox is plugged into your PC via USB, then you should be able to turn it down no problem.
I wanted this but i just think about it in my head and never search it then this video comes up!!! Does youtube observing our minds or you just sent by gods???!!!!!
cool tip! For some reason my noise texture is not showing... but did follow all the steps...any idea what I could be missing? EDIT:Connecting the Texture Coordinate node with the Mapping node through "Object" socket fixed the issue.
Great Tutorial as always, Keep making such short and simple but important videos 👍 A question: Instead of the noise texture if I use the Image texture and select a png file of leaves will that give me shadows of the leaves?
i dont understand, i do exactly the same as you do and it dosent work, i can't even see the effect of the noise texture no matter how much i switch it up
Absolutely, I'm not familiar with C4D's UI, however, the same principle applies. You may just need to use an actual GOBO by placing a plane with an interesting pattern in front of your light source. Just make sure it has an alpha channel so the light can pierce through the GOBO holes!
if this technique is supposed to make my renders stand out of the crowd, and all the crowd learns this technique... how will my renders stand out of the crowd?
@@Smeaf absolutely not 😄 excellent tutorial, short and sweet, the uniqueness comes from how everyone would use it, we are all different and have different tastes. Thank you for your videos!

great video. For anyone not getting the key combos to work.. like CTRL+T and SHIFT+S.. activate the node wrangler add on. It comes with Blender.
@@HrafnNordhri how do i activate node wrangler add on?

How this guy just gonna spawn in and change lighting for me forever
I gotta spread the word!
Same feeling
Very cool and not difficult. This will be a big help, and I believe you can add in image textures as well for the gobo effect!
Yes you absolutely can! Also videos as well 💡
Gobo =. Goes Over/Behind Object, it's also known in the states as a cookie, which is short for Cucaloris. I work on set alongside the lighting team.
Thanks for the info

Yessir! It's amazing what some of the obscure settings can do in Blender!
thank you, you saved me an aunerism ;p
Never thought of nodes on lights! Awesome!
A good way to remember GOBO is "goes before optics"... Helpful in theatre lighting!
Great video, I had no idea you could use nodes on lights, will definitely have to try it now
Finally, a video that respect our time.
Thank’s!

🙏 I’ll need to give that a try

Ohhh that's pretty cool! Thank you!
super clean! wishing this was in eevee but will def keep in mind!
Very cool thank you!
didn't know i can shade the light XD. thanks for the info
Awesome! Thanks!!
He focused on GOBOs, his camera on the background🤣
And you focused on technical vs. the free value he created 😂🤣😂
@@DaveKatague true🤣 the Video is great, I was just joking
@@damndene7824 haha it’s ok everyone’s cool here! ❤️
This very helped light up my scene.
Amazing advice wow
I tried this, it works really well, thanks for sharing!
Connect the “object” in the “texture coordinate” to the “vector” in the “mapping”.
He forgot to add this step in the video
good eye
bruh
had me here for 2 hours wondering why it didnt work
Exactly.
thanks lol
which object ?
Good tip, just a bit more info on what each step was doing would be helpful.
This is disrespectfully good demonstration and tutorial man! Keep it up. You are sick with it!
Thanks Kenal!
I wanted this but i just think about it in my head and never search it then this video comes up!!! Does youtube observing our minds or you just sent by gods???!!!!!
Probably the first option lol
Great advice! Thank You for that!
you are the best dude
Please keep making these cool short videos!
awesome
maan u save my life early, thanks so muuuuch
Amazing 👏
0:00 ah yes this video is really *focused* on lighting
u r the best!
From this video I learned Shift S, noice.
Hate that it has taken me so long to know this. This has changed my life
Great stuff!! Thanks!
Thanks Eric! 🙏
changed his life
Easy and awesome! Thanks!
Super helpfull, thx!!!
Thanks! Short yet easy to follow along. The result looked pretty interesting too. :D
Damm, best 2 minutes spent today
I don't know why I was missing the fact I could use nodes for lights. Thanks!
Great tip! One thing though:
Could you PLEASE fix the focus of your camera?
If I could turn back time 🫠
nice tip actually
Great! Same technique using lately in Cinema 4d, shadows and shapes make more difference ~
Absolutely, it’s so powerful and fun to play with 🔥
Awesome trick!
TL;DR
Add noise textures mapped to a black/white colorramp to an area light in nodes
IES textures can also be really handy. They seem to only work on point lights, at least in my experience. There are plenty available online for free.
You're my savior! I was trying IES with area lights and asking myself why didn't it work...
Amazing thank you!
cool tip! For some reason my noise texture is not showing... but did follow all the steps...any idea what I could be missing?
EDIT:Connecting the Texture Coordinate node with the Mapping node through "Object" socket fixed the issue.
Yes, sorry I should have made that more clear in the video! 🙏
@@Smeaf You should probably pin this comment or put it in the description, it doesn't work otherwise!
You're actually the goat. Thank you so much - I was going nuts
Man YOU ARE AWESOME!!! Love from Germany 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
Boss & MVP
0:45 I thought like "wtf is going on with blender that you were able to pull render with this kinda of quality!"
Just found you. This is good. Keep at it , man!
Thanks so much! 🙏
Amazing, subscribed!
Nice tutorial.... Please what is your system setup.
Hey smeaf, I am a digital designer but still love your channel. What Gpu do you run?
Rule no1: Dont talk about fight club.
Rule no2: ALWAYS show the end result FULL FRAME and leave it there a couple seconds.
ps:nice trick
Good stuff man
Thanks Thugir!
I don't know if it is more realistic.
Great content! Subbed
Thank you!
Tomorrow I have a Physics Exam. Yet I am here learning soft soft. I don't even know what I am.
Great Tutorial as always, Keep making such short and simple but important videos 👍
A question: Instead of the noise texture if I use the Image texture and select a png file of leaves will that give me shadows of the leaves?
Thanks Omkar! 🙏
Yes, as long as the image has a transparent background or alpha, this will work. 🔥
@@Smeaf Great!!!
heyy fellow keyboard renderer!
Hey 👋
I wonder why you would say lighting is “super overwhelming” I really don’t see how? Anyway, thanks for the gobo explanation.
after i did this lighting trick, my ex-wife called and said i could see the kids again
SHIFT S will not work in 4.02 not a problem just letting you know
MrBeast changed my life with this one❤
Knew this but it’s definitely a super video for beginners! Simple and quick!
Loving the videos, keep going, it’s a fantastic job 😁
Thanks MBK! Yeah, I wish I had quick short tutorials like this when I was starting out 🔥🙏
In what version are you in ? There is so much option i don't have in mine !
Hi, if the legend on the keyboard is not a texture, how you put it on?
Just using basic texture mapping :)
Just means you have to make the texture manually or get it online and slap it on the keys
Hey I have a basic question, how can I put all the letters, numbers and that stuff into the keys?
"colour" ramp LMAO xD
Can't help the Australian in me 😅
i dont understand, i do exactly the same as you do and it dosent work, i can't even see the effect of the noise texture no matter how much i switch it up
Is this possible to achieve with Octane and C4D?
Absolutely, I'm not familiar with C4D's UI, however, the same principle applies.
You may just need to use an actual GOBO by placing a plane with an interesting pattern in front of your light source. Just make sure it has an alpha channel so the light can pierce through the GOBO holes!
It is already in c4d as an addon called light gobo from gsg
if this technique is supposed to make my renders stand out of the crowd, and all the crowd learns this technique... how will my renders stand out of the crowd?
😰 I shoulda kept it a secret 🤐
@@Smeaf absolutely not 😄 excellent tutorial, short and sweet, the uniqueness comes from how everyone would use it, we are all different and have different tastes. Thank you for your videos!
Sorry. Not related to Blender. 😅What is the song at the end of the video? Thanks!

U R GOD
I don't have the light preview.. is that a 3.0+ thing?
Yes it is 🔥
Any clue as to why this light shines straight through my blinds object without the blinds adding any additional shadow?
Check in the object properties that it is setup properly to have shadows. It may also not be correctly in front of the light source
@@Smeaf turns out the blinds were set up right but I needed to turn off shadows on the window object
Can't seem to find the Beam shape property in my area light :S
Idk why but CTRL + T doesn’t work for me. I have node wrangler installed too
Make sure you have clicked on the principled bsdf shader and it should work :)
Thank you!
how do i do that thing where u get 2 screens with different modes
Great stuff. But music and sound effects distract.
how to get the same result on Eevee?!
im a student and we use maya..... i pray to god that there is some way to do this... i doubt D:
how to do lighting fro product renders?
you can share the project plss
I love the video, but just for joke bro by the tittle I thought you were a blender model/Texture😂
ilike it
I like you
I hope tNice tutorials makes sense. If you need more info, please feel free to ask. I'm new to tNice tutorials program.
I’ve been experinting and posting I tNice tutorialnk I’ve gotten pretty ok for my first year
oh dear god no, the lights have node trees. god help us all
NO CYCLESE PLEASE!!!!
Great lesson, thanks!
PS Dude, you're out of focus
Lmao, yeah I’m painfully aware 🫠
Eevee fica mais realista usando spot light do que hdr notei isso, nem tudo fica legal no eevee as vezes e muito mais lento do que cycles
none of these keybinds you say do anything
ur camera is out of focus
