In this video, George shows how to use HDRI images as lights sources in a KeyShot scene. He takes images from the library and adjusts them so that the lighting matches the scene.
- [Instructor] Now that we have our materials in place,…let's go ahead and add some light to the scene,…and get ready for final rendering.…Now, lighting in KeyShot is mostly done…through image-based lighting, so your…environment is actually also your light.…So, let's go over to the Environments tab,…and that's really where we'll find our lighting models.…Now under this, we have a number of ones,…we have Interior, Outdoor, Studio, as well as Sun & Sky.…
Let's go ahead and just take a look…at some of the interiors here.…As you can see, we have a number of ones that are provided,…so for example, if I double-click on Stairwell,…you can see that, or if I double-click on…Apartment, you can also see that.…And notice how the light changes.…Now if we go over to Outdoor, you can see…we have a number of ones here,…if we go over to Outdoor you can see…we also have a number of environments,…I'm going to double-click on Iceland here,…and as you can see, it now puts it outside.…
Now with any of these environments,…we can adjust them over here in the project window,…
