3 Point Lighting - Video Tutorial

This is my first Blender video tutorial. I show in it basic light setup, so called "3 point lighting", which is used in a classical photo studios. Video is about 3 minutes long.

Halo? Spot Light with a Shader!

Spot Halo Light

People are still asking around how to setup SpotLight with a Halo to get volumetric light effect, heh even experienced Blender users! Well, in this file you will find a setup that does just that. It even has an additional star shaped shader which gives a bit more dynamic light with more "rays" than default Halo SpotLight. Hmm, maybe it's good idea to rig this shader to get animated "disco spotlight"! Well, I will leave this fun to someone else... :)

Download .blend File:SpotShader.blend

Note: Example file is saved with Blender 2.43.

Materials are also one of those fast changing topics in Blender. Now we have additional Material Nodes. One part you can find in Nodes part of this book (Basic AB Materials Fading Animation Nodes Setup). I am planing to make more example files for materials (using Col, Nor, Csp, Cmir, ...)

...stay tuned.
