Overview

In this short video, we look at what you get out of the box and how to get the setup going.

What is included?

Provided with the setup is a series of physically based lights (modelled to real-world scale where 1 Maya unit = 1cm) mapped with a HDRI. Please note that the environment used in many of the renders below are not included in the download but can be purchased seperately here.

A colour chart, grey card, grey and chrome sphere have also been provided. You can switch between a large and small reference kit, so you can use the relevant-sized reference when framing your asset.

The lighting/frame sequence for the setup is as follows:

  • Frame 1001: Colour checker chart
  • Frame 1002: Grey card
  • Frame 1003: Grey ball
  • Frame 1004: Chrome ball
  • Frame 1005 – 1017: Camera 360 (please note you will need to reframe the camera for your asset)
  • Frame 1018 – 1029: Light Rig Beauty 360
  • Frame 1030 – 1090: Light Rig Individual Fire 360

Please note that this setup is just the light rig itself, and does not come with the environment asset. You can grab the environment asset here, which has been specifically created to go with this light rig:

Alternatively, you can also drop the light rig into the following environment (or any of your own creation):

How to Customise the Setup for your Asset

In this walkthrough, we look at importing in an asset, framing the main render camera, setting up the focus and hitting render. A huge thanks to Jon Reilly for provided his fancy Hulk sculpt.
