Hey SuperSamoth, excellent photoshot as always. 5 stars given.
Would you mind share your usual Scene Lighting setting values of the followings?
Global Illum Master Intensity
Global Illum Diffuse Intensity
Global Illum Specular Intensity
Camera Exposure
Do you use Spot light or Point light? And what are the usual settings in terms of below?
Intensity
Range
Distance of Light sources from the character
No. of Light sources used
Any other important Light settings?
Hello there ! First of all thank you, appreciate it !
I don't have usual scene lightings settings. For global illum master intensity I always put it at 0, the following diffuse and specular I never use.
Camera exposure, depends on the lut I'm using, or if I'm using colortone, or simply lights intensity. What I would suggest you is to always try different values. I had many sessions where I finally got a result I like because of random change in the settings. Most of the time I leave it on default value, but when I move it, it is between .6 to 1.4, rarely higher or lower than that.
I generally use one point light, that will give the general shadow direction of the whole rig, with point bias 0.0 and shadow strenght at .040, up to .080 or even .100.
For the rest of the rig it'll be spot lights, usually it adds up to 1 point light + 2 to 5 spot lights (be sure to have max pixel light 6 in the settings). Same as camera exposure and other settings, It's all trials until I find values that I like, so intensity varies from pic to pic (When I change intensity it is often for the back light, to create more contrast). For range, I generally leave it at 5.
For distance of light sources from the model, I can't tell you what's best, most of the times I leave them quite close to the character (You can see for yourself in my rig pack, often time the same distance for every rig).
Other stuff is of course plugins. The most important one to me is stopper light option (I put the first slider at 16, rest is up to you to try to find what's best for each shot)
Then MacGruber post magic of course, and ICannotDie for the luts, his pack is huge so you'll find what you want in it. Also hunting succubus skin plugin, not a must but it really adds something.
