This manual workflow lets you dive deep into the visual mechanisms of direct and indirect light the most. But as GI is almost free in Redshift, why on Earth would anyone do this?įor my free works, I use only manually set light and thus Direct Illumination, as this approach is kind of a passion of mine. If the scene looks familiar and you don't know why – the animation is based on a scene I created as a test scene for Maxon Cinebench.Ĭontemplating on light – that is also how I created the lighting for this work: photorealism is achieved only by using roughly a dozen manually placed lights, and that's (almost) it. You can watch it on renderbarons' website. A worn-out living room in early spring flooded with light, two people talking, and street noises in the background. It is about the fascination and fleetingness of everyday light situations.


Light Is Just Fine Now is a free animation work I created with Cinema 4D and Redshift.
