Studio lighting

Can anyone help me setup a studio to achieve something like this image?

hi, this is my workflow:

  • use interior or photography studio hdri in scene environment (renderSetup > scene tab > scene environment rollout > use corona > texmap). example hdri map: Cyclorama studio 1 • Interior HDRI
  • a plane with shadow catcher.
  • use desired color (coronaColor) in direct visibility override and shadowCatcher’s enviro/backplate texmap
  • add light(s) manually if needed.

Feel free to play around with my scene. :wink:

Thank you

You’re welcome!

There is no preset for a studio ligh. Every shape or object needs a speacial treatment with light and reflection. Using a default setup results in lazy images. Use the interactive rendering to tweak lights. The internet is full of tutorials, showing how to setup studio lights. Backlight, Top light fill light and so on. This might take some time to get in but makes you a better artist!
