Welcome back to our light projection experiments in Blender. If you haven't seen the 1st part, I recommend you check it out to get a handle on the basics. This time, we're diving into a real-world 3d scene painting it with vibrant, flowing light projections, all using Cycles.
Download our .blend files and experiment along with us: drive.google.com/file/d/1ElQkabUet5LtGIccFQmta_jUvdfd6FgT/view?usp=share_link
Part 1: youtube.com/watch?v=tkksTwLORwo
🌟 In this Blender tutorial, you'll learn how to:
* Set up light projection in Cycles, in a real-world scene
* Do light blocking
* Try out projection with *an area light*
* Combat the pesky noise in Cycles
...to achieve a sleek cinematic look.
