I would also suggest NIS Lighting pack, its been fantastic for creating very realistic setups.

I’ve been using shaders plus a lot. Putting a “lens” n front of the camera for reasons . Putting a plane of that material in front, behind objects for the diffuse. Bounce through displaced planes for caustics. super cool

[@capnanaya4642]

Sorry can you expand further on that? It seems like you found a pretty interesting technique but i don't really understand what do you mean by bounce through displaced planes

[@fergadelics]

Shaders Plus, the those transparent shaders that smouse makes. I apply those shaders to a subdivided plane and bend it like a lens with the proportional editing tool. I’ll put that in front of the camera to act as a refraction warping lens effect. I’ll also sometimes put an instance of that behind a subject but with the diffuse turned up, so the background is fuzzy as well . Or Layer between subjects. Basically, a really laborious way of recreating something I can do in two seconds with photoshop or a compositor but bending light instead of pixels . Lots of happy accidents. Edit: I’ve had good luck animating ripples on the planes as well. Did one scene like that and it looked like heat ripples from the ground during a sunset.

Is leomoom lighting working with blender 4.00 !!? It says it does but in the download page (if I want to upgrade ) there is only up to version 3.6

[@TopChannel1on1]

the download page is rarely updated, most addons forget to update it

[@isabellegazan2]

I just downloaded it and I am on blender 4... it works ;-)
