Title: How to get specified lighting
Post by: GuitarGangster on 2017-02-08, 18:03:03
Hi guys,

I'am new to the corona and since monday I'm trying to achive the light like this one on the picture. I would be happy if you give me some advices what would be better to use a HDRI or CoronaSun. I tried both but I didn't get what I expected. Or maybe I should use some special settings? Thanks in advance :]

P.S. Apologizes for my english ;)

Here is a quick look dev I whipped up based on the photo. IF this is what you are looking for this is how I made it.


Corona Sun + Sky

sky settings:

3 turbidity, 1.0 horizon blur, 1.6 intensity.

Sun settings:

3.0 size, 4.2 intensity

I also made a large box that covers the scene infront of the camera. it uses corona volume material in this scene with a light blue absorption and emission to give some atmosphere.

Then it's just tweaking tone mapping  in the vfb to get the look you want.

I used 1.0 filmic highlights and a higher contrast value of 5

Thank you very much! I'll try those settings in my scene and report you back!
