Blender Lighting Basics (Lamps, Emission, HDRIs and More)

The Basics of Blender Lighting for Beginners Lighting in a Blender scene is important to get your render or animation perfect. This beginner lighting tutorial covers the fundamentals of lighting a scene. We will look at the four lamp types in Blender, HDRI lighting, IES lights and using emissive materials to light a scene. I'll sprinkle in several Blender lighting tips along the way. Our options to add (or even subtract) light to a Blender scene isn't limited to point, sun, spot and area lights. Global illumination with HDRIs, precision lighting with IES files and even Blender's new light groups are all tools to have in your lighting toolbox.
