Title: Soft Studio Lighting
Post by: raylborn on 2018-06-06, 00:58:50

Hey all,

New here and starting to play around with Corona. I know most seem to use it for more realistic scenes, but I was wondering if something like the link below is possible? I seem to be having trouble with lighting a scene similar to this.

Thanks in advance!

I don't see a problem with replicating this scene. Helpfully, you can see the lighting setup reflected in the bubbles.

If you need to keep an area artificially bright (like the back wall) try adding self illumination into the material  - but turn off seen by gi in the editor slot so it doesn't start to light the scene.

Here's a rough one for you. Feel free to destroy it! ;)

looking at the reflective spheres it looks like there is some kind of studio/room hdri used for env lighting

Ah, this is all immensely helpful, thanks all. Good suggestion about the artificially bright area.

THANKS so much for the rough beanzvision.
