"She's on the street, that's why there's a street below her." - Andrew Price, 2019

"Try to do the lighting yourself first before you watch this video." Andrew, please, I just wanted to watch the video.

16:50 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".

I like watching Andrew's videos not only because he eagerly shares all these pearls of Blender wisdom, but also because despite his popularity and high skills level he keeps being a nice person. Unfortuntely, such people're so rare nowdays... Thank you for being so natural and sincere!

That last render with fog looked sooo good!! You're the best, really loved your lighting style.

Come for the lighting, stay for the australia facts

Oh my God the result after the volume scatter is amazing.. didn't expect it to be this cool

"Sky is blue" - Andrew Price (2019) :D

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)!

Doing the same type of video but improving the materials of the scene would be very helpful :)

Life went upside down about 4 years ago and I'm now trying to get back into Blender again. Seeing your tutorials makes me feel like I'm home again. 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.

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.

I'm not even a 3D artist, but i still find a lot of this helpful for improving lighting in 2D art as well :D love your channel

After watching you all these years, I never get over watching how quick you navigate through everything haha I am proud how natural it has become for me, but watching you do what you do always impresses me. Great, as always!

Thank you for the fantastic series! With all respect to these words, you are one of these people who change the world for better! Hats off, this is really an amazing job.

The improvements just with lighting are insane. You're so good at this!

"It doesn't have to be a strip club" -Andrew Price, 2019

Love these vids, they're SO helpful. I do want more of this kind of video, going more in depth with colour and composition and things like you mentioned. Love them! Thanks again!

Just finished it and the entire playlist is gold and is free.

Keep doing what you do Andrew. I've been training with visual effects for 3 years, made leaps and bounds. But most of it is thanks to you. If I ever land the dream gig ill make sure to hook my homie andrew up.

This video is golden. Watched it for the third time now since it came out. Great stuff Andrew.

I love this video to pieces... Admittedly, I'm a Daz Studio user - so I don't do any form of modeling, I'm just someone dressing up 3D dolls and trying to light them, LOL. 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. I'd really love more of these videos... It's actually addicting seeing the difference that lighting can make to a piece. Exciting work, Andrew!

this series are just amazing. SO good, well explained and I really learn useful and powerful tips

This series was awesome! Definitely helped me up my lighting game. Looking forward to what you do next!

Lighting changes everything! Thanks for inspiring all of us.

Lighting just brings out so much details, very good demonstration

You've done the lighting so good. Especially both characters 💯

great series Andrew, this is really good not only for a 3D artist but also for a photographer as well

Great video and also the 5 part lighting course. I learned a ton of new stuff that I will apply and think about when I create my next project. Thanks Andrew!

33:01 Man I didn't realize how much lighting can shape a characters face, she looks so much more cartoony and its interesting to see.

My boy Andrew is back, hell yeah!

It is absolutely amazing what a huge difference lighting makes in 3D.

This was a great watch. Awesome to see the improvements made to the scenes in real time.

This was an informative tutorial. I went about experimenting with lights and colors in the files you provided. Learnt more than what I could have thought. Thank You for Uploading such great tutorials.

11:00 most of the lenses have clicked apertures, wich means that you have to choose from some apertures like 1.4, 1.8, 2.8... cinema lenses however, are declicked, wich means that it can be any value in a range, like 1.4 - 22 for example. :)

I watched the whole series and it was very insightful but honestly this video was the one that helped me the most - granted it probably only did because I had the knowledge of the previous videos but this one was a very important one so thanks!:)

When you use a mesh with an emission shader as a light source, change the output node from "material output" to "light output". I'm doing this in some old scenes and it seems to help Cycles calculate the light more naturally.

Brilliant as always! Lighting is so important and can really make or break your renders.

This series was great! I would definitely appreciate more.

This is super cool to see! Thanks Andrew! Even as a C4D & Octane user this is very useful. And agreed for a serie on colors/textures, would be very nice to know your advices!

Thanks for teaching ...never dull, filled with gems.

it's cool seeing your process of doing lighting, thinking of the story but also the logic [thinking of headlights and what else might fill the scene]. lighting is a pain in the ass to get right, especially in eevee.

Thanks for the series, great one! Composition series sounds really good

Love it Andrew! Thanks so much for your effort in making this wonderful vid! Another meaningful avenue for me to delve into:)

I really liked this video. I especially liked the results on the mafia guy, being a fan of low-key lighting, and I liked how you motivated the lighting.

all these series are great for us .. keep going man

Wow, the first lighting and set up was very creative, the use of the background image to tie it all together gave me some inspiration to play around with Blender.

Light seems to be such a huge contributor to good-looking renders/shots. 🙌 The first model didn't look tough with the initial lighting. Felt like he was smiling The correction made him look a lot like a mafia boss. On the final one, man! You started adding lights and my jaw dropped.

Got a notif, clicked right away. Made me so happy about this

So much fantastic WOW thanks man

What a great find of a channel. Can’t wait to get stuck in. Well done.

Loved this series! Got to learn so much! Thank you so much! A video series like this one about colour theory would be really great!

Extremely helpful especially seeing the before and after

Incredible tutorial.... you are my Guru!

Loved this course :D Thank you !

Your videos are so good man!! I love them all!!!

Very nice light composition. Thank you for your work.

Your tutorial is awesome mate! Thank you for sharing your knoweldge!

dayuum andrew! just realized you're almost at 1 million subs! seems just like yesterday you were only at 200k, congrats!!!

What an excellent video. Loving your stuff in general as well! Greets from Finland ^^

I loved this series specially this demonstration part Maybe in next part we all would like to see some stuff like camera angle its f-stop values .

The improved selfie girl render looks incredible! Thanks for sharing this

9:16 MEGA TIP! at least for a newbie like me, thanks Guru! I am surprised of how much I'm learning from this lighting series

That lighting demonstration is so useful beyond blender as well. I'm going to have fun experimenting with this since I can't afford real lights atm.

Great video as always Andrew

More of this please, think its a great idea, keep it up!

you’re my “guru” since before your subs under 100k❤️

Man, the last one was terrific!

want to say, that was a really cool and amazing videos! it is very interesting that all examples are practical, you can look at lighting in a different way. special like for amazing sense of humor, jokes are just fire

loving your videos!

Nice, I really liked what you did with the volumetrics

Loveable. Keep it up with the series, +17K likes already!

Buddy, I love you. You’re the best!

dope as always dude! thanks for this

god! that was too good, i am a c4d user but this really made me wanna try blender! look how fast you move around and do things!

I love ur videos, I find them so useful. Despite the fact that I'm a huge maya user.

Loved it :D Make more of these!!!!!!! Gives of a greats idea on how to work with lights

Thank you Andrew!!

A really good tutorial. Thanks

I would love a composition series. Please do it, lol. This was a great series, I will definitely use it for reference.

This course definitely made me rethink lighting. But after watching you redo the lighting on these I realize I kinda skipped the story part and just whet for readability and emphasis. Oh well. With these thoughts in mind I will progress, practice, and hopefully succeed. Thank you for the amazing info and being the 3D Guru that I need.

Love this series

Great job, I learn a lot about lighting with this video, Thanks

THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED

Brilliant series, really interesting.

The 3rd one lighting is really good!

Thank you for this lesson. I learned a lot and still have far to go. Thanks, Andrew.

Andrew you are a god heeya. Thanks for another great tut on lighting :)

The lighting video we always wanted

I use 3DS Max but the theory and foundation in this video is solid Great video!

you really are a bloody winner!

Incredibly helpful. Thank you very much.

I really liked it!

you have gotta make more tutorials !! love you man!!

Awesome course, awesome video as always! I'm really liking this type of content, one on color would be awesome. I saw your old on one color and that was great, maybe you can go even deeper into the process of choosing colors and applying them/thought process behind which colors you used

Hi Andrew! Thank you very much for this channel, you have helped me a lot for many years =D

i've been using over 50 lights to try to make something look something like what you did, but in reality all i needed was a brain, thank you for this!

Awesome stuff! Would love more like this. One little thing, @11:04, f1.9 very much exists. 1.4, 2.0, 2.8, 4, are just the standard steps, but everything in between is still a valid f-stop. Especially on a lens with a manual (stepless) aperture ring. :)
