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.
* 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.

In this 20-minute tutorial, we dive into four easy-to-follow techniques for setting up textured lighting in Blender that will make your scenes come alive. Discover light blocking, shadow textures, light projection, and more to create intricate patterns and evoke emotions in your Cycles renders.
🌟 In this tutorial, you'll learn:
* Understanding the importance of light quality in 3D rendering * Setting up dappled or textured lighting in Blender, Cycles * Four distinct methods for creating textured lighting
* Setting up image planes with transparency in Blender Eevee * Using the provided 2d fog material * Adjusting fog density and depth for maximum realism * Seamlessly integrating fog effects into your 3D scenes
00:00 - Start 01:55 - How to make a fast fog in Eevee (the Material Settings) 10:45 - Absorption 12:36 - Extra light scattering 16:11 - 2d light beams (godrays) 18:56 - The volume shader 20:01 - The bloom effect 20:57 - Bonus: it works in Cycles 21:43 - Conclusion
00:00 - Start 00:42 - Camera settings and depth of field 07:07 - How to create a custom bokeh shape 21:30 - Swirling bokeh effect (like Heliops 44-2 or similar vintage lenses) 25:09 - Panoramic cameras and lens distortion
----------------
What you'll learn after watching this Blender tutorial?
* Customizing the bokeh shape for a unique and professional look in 3D cinematography
* Tweaking depth-of-field settings such as f-stop, blades, rotation, and ratio for more control over the appearance of bokeh
* Simulating anamorphic compression
* The *vintage* effects such as swirly bokeh or the cat's eyes effect, in Cycles
* The focus breathing effect
* Fisheye Equisolid and Fisheye Lens Polynomial settings
If you own the course, just check the library on Blender Market or Gumroad, it's now updated with the new videos and project files, no need to do anything. We'll also release 1 or 2 chapters on Youtube to help bring awareness and hopefully support to the project.

I spent a few days playing with Midjourney beta (generated more than 1000 images and burned quite a few bucks). Can't wait to share the crazy results with you - oh and also a quick Midjourney tutorial. Warning: there are a few potentially disturbing images (AI can generated some really weird stuff).
