Hey folks,

Here it is a couple of years since my last training vids and i've begun putting together some new material, due to repeated requests (you know who you are ;D). I thought about the lighting vids I did previously and how inadequately short and empty they seemed, so I'm planning to do an entire in-depth lighting/shading course (in digestible segments). I already have a pretty good outline but would like to know what you folks would be particularly interested in seeing. What would be the MOST helpful. I'll put everything I know in there but I'd like to focus on areas of greatest value to you. Your comments on this would be most appreciated.

I'm very sure that most of people is very interested in how nodal solutions can improve their work :thumbsup:

Thanks Gerardo. Yep nodes are pretty awesome for sure. I've seen some good node training at Kurv, though. Are you thinking I could tie this in directly with lighting? I could sure do that. Maybe some concrete examples showing nodes under light.

Of course! not only through shading but also directly through lights. There are a lot of interesting possibilities with the DP_Lights and Pom's Lights.

Realistic stuff... inside, outside... A bit on the Vray level with advanced shaders. Also baking the illumination for fast rendering of a fly-through camera would be amazing! Ive never figured out how to bake my scene with clean result.

DP filters look absolutly amazing, a short tutorial on how to use it from LW to AE would be cool. Especially the open_exr part. It didnt work for me too. Could not get anything from the openexr file. only normal rgb and alpha.
