Simulate portrait lighting using 3D software
<p>Let’s take a look at simulating portrait lighting using the excellent open source software Blender.</p>
<p>If you don’t know what Blender is, it’s a free to use open source tool for 3d modelling, sculpting, compositing, vfx, video editing and is even used to make 3d assets for use in video games. You might think that being free and open source makes it limited in quality, but it’s super powerful and we are just going to look at something pretty basic that might be of interest for photographers to help setup portrait lighting.</p>
<p>This isn’t a tutorial on how to use Blender, just a quick and dirty look at a way to use it to get an idea of how to setup lighting for a studio portrait. So, we’ll fire up Blender, import in a 3d model of a person, set up some lights and get rendering.</p>
