    From Wiki:
    [Sunset colors are typically more brilliant than sunrise colors, because the evening air contains more particles than morning air.]
    The Sun heating the air energizes and lifts up particles, thus it has more red wave-length scattering hence why "fresh light" vs "tired light".

    Love how much you dive into the theory side of things! Most tutorials on 3D stuff are techniques on how to do specific things, which is great, but becomes much more useful when there's a strong art theory to back it up. Would love to see more series like this from you (and others)!

You're site and CG Cookie were the first sites that made me realize the potential of using Blender and made learning 3D much more enjoyable. Time to get back to my creative side.

  • @randoarchive
    @randoarchive Před 5 lety +78

    I saw that you do File->Import->Images As Planes as a shortcut so you don't have to create a quad and apply a texture etc... This also requires the user to activate an add-on. There's a potentially even faster way to do it, and that's simply dragging the image into your 3D View. It will do all the importing automatically and create a plane flat to the view perspective. You just look through the camera perspective, drag in, scale, and you're done. It's new to Blender 2.8.

This video spoke volumes to me, especially regarding treating light sources part of a scene/narrative! I'm really excited to set up a scene, and just take my time with the lighting, and think about what each light represents.
