Adjust global illumination
- [Instructor] Next let's use the global illumination pass to enhance the bounce lighting. Now for this, I have this pass here and this is the actual image, it's called Global. Now again, we can dial our opacity up and down. But actually I'm going to set it to a mode called Screen. And what that does if we toggle on and off, you'll see that that just kind of gives a good brightness and contrast to the image. Now more importantly, I'm trying to get a little bit more of this to pop. If we toggle this on or off, you could see that these tend to pop a little bit more without popping the background. So this basically gives kind of a little bit more of the bounce lighting. And I'm using the Screen blending mode to do this. Now again we could use other types of modes to blend these, but I'm finding for this particular image, Screen tends to work the best.
