My Techniques - An Exposeby ~Pixelgeezer

Designs & Interfaces / Infographics

I get a lot of questions from viewers about my lighting techniques and render settings. This is (sloppily) made as a - hopefully - one-size-fits-all response to most of those questions, and to help some people out a little.

If you still have questions, ask below, on my profile page, or on whichever deviation you think is appropriate. I'm also reachable by a PM. If you use these techniques on a scene at all, let me know!

Hey there! thanks for the great tutorial...say, im new to blender...please excuse my ignorance... what is YAFARAY? how do I download it and use it? i just use the normal Blender Render and barely touch the Cycles Render. Any Help from anyone or info for this beginner is appreciated. Thanks in advance

Yafaray is an excellent third-party unbiased renderer for Blender, and my personal 'Weapon of Choice' as it's great for still scenes with a wide variety of materials. It can be downloaded and installed from Yafaray's own website - www.yafaray.org - but for ease I use a build from www.graphicall.org with it already built-in. Have a look for a build for your platform on there, I use megasoft78's 64-bit Ubuntu version.

Note that if you use one of these builds, Yafaray has to be enabled in the addons menu and changed from Blender Render via the drop-down at the top of the main workspace.

Let me know how you get on!
