How I do my lighting in EEVEE for Blender 4.0 (´｡• ᵕ •｡) ♡

Are you running your Blender on a toaster? Don't wanna spend much time on rendering in Cycles? Here's some EEVEE tips for you!

1 - Let's put some HDR lighting on! Go to the Worlds, choose Use Notes and hit that little yellow dot next to the Color.

2 - Pick 'Environment Textures'

3 - You'll see everything in purple. But worry not! It's just bc you haven't applied any textures yet! Just go on and hit Open.

4 - You can find plenty of free, high resolution HDRI textures on Poly Haven. I have almost all of them! Go get some for yourself too and navigate to their location. Pick any you like!

Well... It doesn't look good yet :D

5 - Lower the Strength of the light.

6 - Now. Let's go to the Render Properties and check Ambient Occlusion and Bloom (you can play with it's parameters and see which fits you better). THEN... Go to Shadows and increase the resolution to the max. High Bit Depth and Soft Shadows must be checked too!

7 - Let's Add our very first light (The Sun)! And go to the Camera Mode.

8 - In the Sun Shadow settings: Soften the light by increasing the Angle; Lower Bias to the max.

9 - Change the parameters of Cascade Shadow Map the way it looks better for you.

10 - Also don't forget to fix the specular appearance of your model ;3

Now. I don't hate it. But I don't like it much either... So I played and tried several Environment textures for better result.

11 - Looks way better! Now let's go to the Render Properties once again and remove the background in the Film category (in case you don't want one)

12 - It's time to add another light source!

13 - Settings for the new light are quite similar. I made them softer, lowered Bias, changed color, etc.

14 - Preparing for the shoot. ▓▒░(°◡°)░▒▓

15 - You did it! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ:･ﾟ✧

Another animation test, this time I tried to make him actually move ~

He moves following the curve path, and I haven't been able to solve the problem with the sliding paws yet. But I tried to at least minimize it. I also used the Wiggle addon and cloth simulation to give him some more dynamics.

I found out that the new Blender has better lighting for Eevee and so I can now do fast and quite neat test renders with fur! The bad news is that the hair symmetry bug is still there; I really want to switch to a newer Blender, but I lost any hope.

Made in Blender. Koties are my characters, fantasy felines from my personal lore/story (it is natural and okay for them to be thin)

CC I personally use

Hi guys! Because I’m getting a s-ton of asks about the CC I use (specially to make my simmies look the way that they do) and because I’m inherently not a WCIF-friendly Tumblr, I’m making a bit of a link dump instead here. Following are links to the content I use to make my sims look pretty.

NOTE: All of my previews (apart from in-game gifs) are rendered with Eevee (Blender) because the lighting is 100x better. Almost all creators render their previews now – sorry to disappoint. But the meshes and textures are 100% the same, so given the correct lighting (and if you use the HQ mod here), your simmies should still look the same. Also note, sometimes I use Faceapp when I want to add a smile to my sim previews. Usually that’s pretty obvious when used though.

Anyway, here we go.

My sim models: at the moment you can just download my current sim models with a CC list available here if you really want, but that’s up to you (I should really update them).

Main Sliders/Presets/Makeup/Skins Northern Siberia Winds - just download everything Obscurus - just download everything Sims3melancholic - just download everything Extra Sliders JiumiQAQ - Jaw Preset V1 Miiko - Chin Slider Nell - Male Face Preset Magic Bot - Mouth Slider | Nose Slider Dumbaby - Chin Slider | Shoulder Height Slider Extra Hair (the hair I use comes from everywhere, but most commonly..) Moood Jino Wings Leahlilith Nightcrawler SClub Sonyasims Extra Makeup RemusSirion PoyoPoyo Zenx Angissi Chih Cosimetic Eyelashes Dreamgirl Baddiesims And that's basically it. I'll be amending and adding/subtracting to this list to keep it up to date, but for now that is all the components that I use for my sims - the rest is just shaping them in CAS.

i still think about your ares edit almost daily - the one where he’s 💦 wet 💦 - and i know you mentioned that you were trying out some new things from tutorials

if you don’t mind… what are some of your fave blender tutorials/tutorial makers?

THE EMOJI I'M DEAD

ok so i have like a combobulation of knowledge and i've tested out cycles and eevee! i don't have a preference just yet because they perform different things, i think of it more like using a pen or a pencil, it just depends on the occasion! but here's a list of different tuts, tut makers and even a discord!

⋆｡°✩ the first is @nepotisim's blender haven discord! there are different tutorials as well as a help section but you can learn finer details!

⋆｡°✩ i used this video to introduce me to rendering and the basics. once i was comfortable, i followed this video and it's just a tad bit more in depth!

⋆｡°✩ @salemssimblr has a tumblr dedicated to blender tut/tips and tricks! I learned about environmental lighting here! Ash has also been super helpful in any questions I've had!

⋆｡°✩ @sikoi has a speedrun edit! it's cool to see everyone's process

⋆｡°✩ @missatan has a skin tutorial as well as a bunch of other tutorials!

⋆｡°✩ also! i just stumbled upon @wistfulpoltergeist's tutorials!

also also! a big thank you to everyone listed in this ask! ˗ˋˏ ♡ ˎˊ˗
