Lesson 18 | Shoe 3D Modeling | 3DTRIX

The lesson begins by introducing the importance of lighting in 3D rendering. You’ll learn how different lighting setups can highlight the features of your shoe model, enhancing its textures, materials, and details.
You’ll start by setting up basic lighting for your scene. The lesson will guide you through the process of using three-point lighting, which includes a key light, fill light, and backlight, to create well-balanced illumination.
The lesson then covers how to adjust the intensity and color of your lights to match the mood and style of the shoe. You’ll learn how to create soft, natural lighting for lifestyle shoes or more dramatic lighting for performance-oriented designs.
You’ll also explore advanced lighting techniques, such as using HDR (High Dynamic Range) images for realistic environmental lighting and reflections. This will help bring out the details of your materials and textures in the final render.
The lesson concludes with rendering techniques to ensure the best output quality. You’ll learn how to optimize settings for resolution, anti-aliasing, and ray tracing to create high-quality, photorealistic images of your shoe model. You’ll also get tips for post-processing your render to enhance colors and details further.
