Realistic Lightbulb
Anyone have any tutorials on creating a almost or realistic lightbulb turning on ?

Check out some tutorials on exposure adjustment, and on roto-ing exposure onto elements.
I think that videocopilot character has some info on there about flares flashing, and highlights, thats basically what you’d be doing. Working in 32 bits will make a GIGANTIC difference also. Burning in ramps will add realistic falloff.
Just went to that videocopilot character’s website, if you use the concept of the ‘energy’ tutorial with the lightbulb, and run with it with the walls and highlights of a room where the lightbulb is, you can make some pretty realistic stuff. That site is great for concept — there is a ton of underlying data and concepts within the tutorials which seems to be overlooked a lot.

Alright, thank you I will check out that tutorial and hopefully it targets what I’m after, thank you.

Nicholas Toth,
Andrew Kramer’s work is well respected here at the Cow. I think it’s offensive to refer to him as “that videocopilot character”. Even if you can’t remember his name, you could refer to his website without using “that videocopilot character”.

I would recommend getting a photo of a light bulb and creating the glow with a blurred lensflare and glow

Yikes, didn’t mean to offend (honestly, and I’m kinda confused to why I may have), just trying to help out and mix things up in a somewhat pseudo-comedic-manner. After all, work can be fun. And I know he’s a well respected member of the cow, and his tutorials have helped out a ton of people (including myself…), but referring to someone as a character…being offensive? What kind of eggshells must one walk on? Lets not read too far into everything we see.
None the less, my apologies Andrew and Tom, if offense was taken.

lmao, wow. Kramer is so big now that if you say a bad word against him he has a legion of Graphics guys ready to defend him. now all he’s gotta do is start a clothing line and take Tom’s lead role in the Mission Impossible franchise. I wonder if he’ll actually be televised one day? hm.
by the way, you try the photo manipulation technique? let me know if it works 😉

I guess it depends on the tone you use when you call someone “that character”.
As it’s hard to tell what tone you were intending when you posted, I shouldn’t have assumed the worst.
My apologies to you. -
Its all good Tom! Now lets be a community and solve some issues! I’ll be more mindful with my replies! I have a question already this morning that I hope someone can answer!

The one with the photo image and lensflare and blur? If so not yet!
