Lighting & Rendering with Eevee and Cycles (4 Hours of Content)

Learn professional lighting setups and master Blender’s two rendering engines — Eevee and Cycles — with this 4-hour deep dive.

In 3D, lighting is everything. It defines your forms, sets the mood, and determines whether a scene looks amateur or cinematic. In this course, you'll learn how to control light like a director of photography — using Blender’s built-in tools with confidence and clarity.

We cover everything from three-point lighting to HDRI workflows, from baking light for games to creating dramatic render-ready scenes in both Eevee and Cycles. Whether you're working on animation, stills, or real-time visuals, this course makes sure your lighting does the heavy lifting.

You’ll also get expert tips for optimizing your render settings, eliminating noise, and speeding up workflows — without sacrificing quality. No plugins or extra downloads required — just Blender and your creative vision.

📦 What’s Included

  • ✔️ 4 hours of HD video lessons
  • ✔️ 8 structured modules with full lighting setups
  • ✔️ Eevee vs. Cycles comparisons throughout the course
  • ✔️ Ready-to-render Blender scenes included

Everything is broken into manageable parts, with a clean visual style and clear narration. This isn’t just a tutorial — it’s a structured system to help you go from “default lighting” to professional results you can showcase.

You’ll also learn when and why to use each render engine, how to adjust lighting for stylized vs. realistic looks, and how to control shadows, color, and contrast with precision.

All project files and examples are included for hands-on practice. You’ll walk away with scenes you can use in your portfolio and the confidence to light your future projects from scratch.

🎬 Course Format

Every lesson is delivered through clear, step-by-step video instruction using Blender’s live interface.

The course is designed to be easy to follow regardless of your skill level, with each concept demonstrated in real-time inside actual project files.

You’ll have access to the full recording library immediately after purchase, with lifetime access to all modules and downloadable assets.

📚 Course Structure

Module 1 – Lighting Theory & Tools Overview (22 min)

Understand light types, color temperature, and how Blender simulates light and shadows.

Module 2 – Three-Point Lighting & Portrait Setup (28 min)

Create professional 3-light setups and adapt them for characters and products.

Module 3 – HDRIs, Domes & Sky Textures (36 min)

Use high dynamic range imagery and sky textures to light entire environments realistically.

Module 4 – Cycles Lighting & Shadow Control (40 min)

Master light falloff, softness, bounce, caustics and how to optimize for photorealism.

Module 5 – Eevee Lighting & Real-Time Workflows (38 min)

Use baked lighting, probes, volumetrics and bloom to simulate realism with speed.

Module 6 – Mood Lighting & Color Grading (29 min)

Apply film-inspired looks, colored lighting, and compositing filters to create atmosphere.

Module 7 – Volumetrics, Fog & God Rays (32 min)

Create cinematic fog, directional rays and immersive depth using volume shaders.

Module 8 – Render Settings, Denoising & Output (35 min)

Learn how to avoid fireflies, use compositor nodes, and prepare files for export or animation.

Each module comes with its own scene file, so you can follow along or start from scratch. The course ends with two full lighting breakdowns of real portfolio-ready scenes, demonstrating everything from setup to final render.

You’ll be fully equipped to create lighting that matches your artistic goals — from soft product setups to dramatic movie-style interiors.

Most importantly, you’ll gain the confidence to approach any new 3D scene with a clear lighting strategy and full control over the final result.

🎁 Bonus Downloads

  • ✔️ 6 lighting presets for indoor and outdoor use
  • ✔️ Fully lit sample scenes for Cycles and Eevee
  • ✔️ A/B comparison examples of render engine results

All bonus content is fully editable and ready to plug into your own Blender projects. These are great starting points for your future scenes or as reference materials while you learn.

The provided lighting setups are production-tested and follow the exact workflows taught in the course.

No need to start from scratch — these bonus files make experimentation faster and help reinforce what you’ve learned.

🙋‍♂️ Who Is This For?

  • 🖼️ 3D artists who want their renders to stand out
  • 🎥 Animators looking for consistent lighting between shots
  • 🕹️ Game developers optimizing for real-time engines
  • 📷 Product designers working with reflective or transparent materials

No prior lighting experience required — this course is structured to take you from zero to expert with a hands-on, visual approach.

If you've ever struggled to get your scenes to “pop,” this training shows you exactly how to balance realism, mood, and performance using built-in tools.

And if you’re switching between Eevee and Cycles, you’ll learn how to light once and adapt your scene for both engines without starting over.
