You've finally achieved the perfect scene in Daz Studio only to discover that it's not rendering the way you thought it would, or should. Why is everything so dark? Why are the shadows going in the wrong direction?

Wonder no more! Landon Lopez, aka LayLo 3D, will demonstrate to you multiple ways of lighting your scene... Professional Three-Point Lighting, HDRI Lighting, Sky-Dome Lighting as well as producing light by using objects with emissive shaders.

This live training webinar on Saturday the 24th of September will be available in the DAZ store shortly afterwards!

Three-Point Lighting

Professional visual media such as theatre, video, film and still photography use a basic system known as three-point lighting and now you'll understand it too. Know the purpose of the key, fill and back lights, what they're all supposed to do, and how they work to complement each other. What intensities of light should you start with? How to create and save this set-up in Daz Studio.

HDR Lighting

HDRI stands for High Dynamic Range Image, which uses a composited image of different exposure values and stores a wider range of colors and levels of brightness. Find out the advantages and uses of these unique images, where to find free HDR images and how to use them in your scene. (By-the-way, did you know that most smart phones will take a HDR image?)

Sky-Dome Lighting

Daz Studio comes with a Sky-Dome. Learn how to use it effectively and efficiently to enhance your scene, when to use it, and how to tweak it for just the right look.

Once you understand these different lighting techniques we'll take it one step further and discuss using them in different combinations.

Rendering and More...

Then, after we've covered these and their options, no demo would be complete without rendering. We'll take a look at the various settings and how to get the render engine working for you.

Plus, he'll share some of his tips and tricks about lighting and rendering that's he's learned over the years!
