How to Light Cosmetics Bottle in Blender (Quick Blender Tip 20)

In this Blender tutorial, I will show you how to light cosmetics bottle in Blender. Cosmetics product seems pretty easy to access for beginner photographers or designers, however, cosmetics products' packaging usually comes with a reflective surface and is very tricky to light. Using default lights in Blender is not a good way to light glossy surfaces, we will use a gradient map to refine the lights in Blender.
This is an ongoing studio lighting video series, which means improving your understanding of using studio lights in Blender or even in a real photoshoot.

This idea actually makes so much sense. I've used black and white boards traditionally in the studio too, but somehow I didn't think of it using it in blender. Thanks!

Thank you! I've been struggling with the default lights for so long, I am surprised it's that easy to fix the sharpness from the area light.

hey wenbo, nice trick I discovered recently. you can use a gradient texture with a color ramp on the emission shader instead of an image. gives you nice quick controls and you can even make radial or linear gradients on the fly

I am so new to Blender I was able to create my packaging and it finally looks correct. But I have no idea how you actually created the acrylic base, the emission background, the lights with a gradient.... Thats where I am currently. But the image looks amazingly well lit. Coming from a product studio you did very good. If you could explain how to create these simple things in Blender that would awesome. Thank you.

create a png file of your logo, then load in as an image texture, then connect color and alpha to the principles bsdf shader

Using this kind of light setup on reflective metal surface makes the black show in reflections, is there any way to remove that? I'm trying to make a light with one sharp side and one soft side to show in the reflections. Thanks for your efforts, nice to apply photography lighting to 3d.

Better to put the gradient on a real light. Using override materials to do a clay render won't work if you use a mesh as a light source, as one example.
