4. Follow pathway


- Black void map
- 2 Key Lights (Main & Support)
- 2 Rim lights (Blue & Pink)
- 2 Fill lights (Blue & Pink)
- 2 Volumetrics (Blue & Pink)
- 2 Smoke particles (Black billow)
- 2 Neon 'Sparks' (xmas - Snowburst)
- Mr Platform

Change these lights however you like, Im not the best at lighting things


- R-click one of the particles & Select
- Select Edit Particle System Definition (Instance particle System)


CHANGING COLOUR
1. Go to Colour Random
2. Click on the 2 coloured rectangles to choose your colours

HINT: Make sure you change colour fade so you dont get hints of different colours.
Use it right and you could get some cool Gradient effect!
I actually dont know if it works, but theorizing it will


CHANGING SIZE
1. Go to Radius Random and scroll down to find Radius_max and Radius_min
2. Adjust values.
HINT: Max and Min means the largest and smallest particles respectively. The bigger the difference, the higher the variety in size. Make the values the same if you want all the particles to be the same size.


- Good question that you totally asked
- To give SFMers, new or experienced, a decent, customizable background to work with or to make a quick poster
- To introduce the methods and positioning of "basic good" lighting
- To expose the possibilities with particle effects by learning to adjust basic parameters
- Basically, I want you to have an educational-ly fun time

Remember: The poster isn't complete without you doing the posing of your own models

Also, ALSO - DO NOT USE BLOOM it sucks- I got a guide that can take care of that for you:
