blender lighting tutorial + tips.
requested by @thecrimsonsimmer + recommended viewing: youtube video one, two, three, and four. this post will be dealing with newer versions of blender (2.8+) and cycles since that's what i'm more familiar with + commonly used for rendering. this is coming from me as an artist with some dabbling in photography and things i've learned in college!
references and setting the mood
are you basing your render on an existing photo? study the light source and what direction it's coming from: that's what's going to tell you your set up for a similar effect.
if you're not basing it on an existing piece, a good start is knowing How you want to set your subject (your sim) up - do you want them to be in the spotlight? are they in a specific environment that has neon lights? are you going for moody or something fresh, bright? definitely look up colors and their meaning (color theory, movie screencaps, etc.) to create a stronger image!
using resources to start the set up
it's always a good thing to mix your tools with different communities, such as the art community! many have lighting tools to figure out how to color their subject, such as this free-to-use head figure that depicts where the lighting source should be placed.
there's also the photography community and teaching people how to set up their lights for certain setups. video three and four linked in the beginning are from photography viewpoints.
spot? area? point? sun?
let's think of the lighting types as objects - a spot is like a plain lightbulb, area is a reflective sheet, spot is a flashlight, and the sun... well is the sun!
a spot is similar to an area light, but triangular/a cone. think of a helicopter search light, it's focused on a small area with the most light concentration. these can be used for lamps with lampshades, car headlights, or a lighthouse.
an area light is great for lighting up technology. a phone screen, tv screen, tablet, anything that's an LED screen emitting from a surface. the light is not as concentrated as a spot and is meant to cover more flatly (hence the rectangular source)
a point is best used for small pops of colors such as candlelight, lamppost, lightning bug tail, etc. a small source that has nothing covering it.
a sun covers the entire area and can be used as the overall mood setter. it can create filter over the entire render by just shifting the color like you would see in a movie. you'll be given a line with a sun light that gives the direction of where the sun is coming from. basically a spot light just on a much larger scale LOL.
power + coloring
this screenshot is mostly what you'll only use to start off with. watts is the unit of measurement and the higher you go, the brighter the light will be.
examples with a white colored point light
10W-20W: general portrait lighting
30W-50W: bright source, close flashlight for example
60W+: blinding
coloring is just like the system for in game lights for ts4. shift it to whatever you want it to be (click the white bar, that's the color preview) and mess around with the vibrancy. the darker, more intense color, the less it's going to appear on the sim.
closeness and intensity
similar to what's shown in the head lighting tool shown earlier, the closer the light is, the more that specific area is lit up. go too close and your sim could be completely washed out. it helps to change the size of the light (change with the radius slider) to better imitate what you're wanting. the larger the radius, the more diffused and softer the light source will be.
close + small = very clear of the light source shape, can obviously tell where it is in relation to the subject
far away + large = soft lighting, more of a hazy lighting of the color you choose.
to quickly adjust the light, press "G" and hold down your middle mouse button to adjust which axis you'd like to edit along. green is the x-axis, blue is the y-axis, and red is the z-axis. you can also press "G" and type the letter of the axis you want to use. drag the mouse to change the placement on that specific axis to however you want. if you want to freely edit the placement, just press "G" to move it out of the axis bounds.
world lighting
take this step as setting your canvas color before you start painting. in order for the values to look their best, change the world color to the same hue of the color you are mostly using. for example, this is set in a red-toned environment:
this is essentially changing the cast shadow onto the sim. the default is gray and will muddy up your undertones if not changed properly. for this instance, if you were to still use the same red point light in a gray world color it'd look like this:
of course, this will be based on if you have an environment image or not that can affect your lighting overall. this post is based on the fact there is no environment image and what not! if you need a visual demonstration on how to mess with the world lighting, check out this short video.
i hope that helped anyone beginning to render or wanting to light up your own scenes! i'm no rendering expert, but here's some of the helpful tricks i've learned and collected over the years<3 if you have any other questions feel free to send an ask!

Do you know of any good investigating poses group or single? I have a club of paranormal investigators but no good poses for them. I figured you might know of some
Hey Anon :)
Well, I don't have any specific poses to recommend because I don't know what you have in mind but here are the sources/creators I use frequently ♥
@ts4-poses is the best ressource page you can find here (at least, that I know of). They have an awesome and very detailed masterlist . I did some research for you and they have a detective page and a police one so I hope this will be usefull to you ^^ I highly recommend to check/follow this account because it's the most easiest place I found to find poses and creators.
About them, @samssims is really my favourite one as I use her creations all the time. Sam actually created sooooo many usefull poses, you'll spend hours discovering all her wonders in her blog. I remember using the flashlight poses as well as the book ones (there's plenty !) for some of my stories.
I also recommend @akuiyumi poses that are super usefull and @someone-elsa's one as well and @simmingsorah. And @simmerberlin made sooooo many poses back in time : the master of usefull story telling help hehe
Also, a personnal advice : if you can't find the exact poses/accessorie you have in mind, think about shot angles and how you could still show what you want to show but in another way ? For instance, you don't have to show the death of a character to make the audience realize their dead. Same for a lot of situations ^^ It's also a good way to work on your editing as well and have some kind of cinematic point of view of your story. You can also learn how to create your own poses if you have the time, energy and a computer that can manage all the software without exploding ... You're going to be the real master your story then ... But let's face it as well, we're not machines, especially if you live by yourself and days are only 24h long (that's sucks soooo much, why do we have to sleep to be alive huh ?) and we also joined a community for something right ? There's a lot of simmers around that will gladly help you creating the poses you need so never be affraid to ask, even publicly :)
Thanks for the ask anon and I hope the answer has been helpfull ^^
