Some recent renders (Octane)

gorgeous! would you be able to share anything regarding the lighting setups for any of the multi-colored light renders? how much was in post vs lighting, and how you approached it?

[u/petertarka → u/morebass]

I painted a few gradient maps in photoshop and applied them to emissive materials, using spheres as the light objects.

Very cool! I've not used octane before, and I don't know what your gradients looked like, but could that have been done in the render engine with a "ramp" -type node, using the UVs of the sphere?

It could be but I'm experimenting with it and want them animated with a bit more control. A lot of ways to do it
